Installation and moving
Your dishwasher has arrived
After having bought or moved your dishwasher to another home, a
correct installation ensures that your dishwasher will operate
smoothly and efficiently.
Choose where you want to install
your dishwasher, you can even
place it so that its sides or back
panel are side by side with furniture
or up against the wall. The
dishwasher is provided with water
supply and drain hoses, which can
be directed towards the left or right
to facilitate appropriate
installation.
Levelling.
Once the appliance is positioned,
adjust the feet by screwing them in
or out depending on how high you
want it and to level it so that it is
horizontal. Make sure that it is not
inclined more than 2 degrees. If the
appliance is level, it will help ensure
its correct operation.
Adjusting the back Feet
Insert the appliance into the cutout
and then adjust the height using the
screws located on the front bottom
part of the machine. Use a
screwdriver to turn the screws in
the clockwise or anti-clockwise
direction to increase or decrease
the height respectively.
Cold water connection.
This electric household appliance
should be connected to the water
mains using the cold water supply
hose provided with the appliance
only. Do not use a different hose. In
the event of replacements, use
original spare parts only.
Connect the cold water supply
hose to a 3/4 gas threaded
connection, taking care to screw it
tightly onto the tap. If the water
hoses are new or have been out of
If the power
socket to which
the appliance is
connected is not
compatible with
the plug, replace
it with a suitable
plug rather than
using adapters or
multiple plugs as
these could cause
overheating or
b u r n s .
use for an extended period of time,
let the water run to make sure it is
clear and free of impurities before
making the connection. If this
precaution is not taken, the water
inlet could get blocked, causing
damage to your dishwasher.
Hot water connection.
Your dishwasher can be supplied
with hot water from the mains
supply (if you have a central heating
system with radiators) at a tempe-
rature of no more than 60°C.
In this case, the wash cycle time
will be about 15 minutes shorter
and the wash will be slightly less
effective.
The connection must be made to
hot water supply following the
same procedures as those indicated
for the cold water connection.
Anti-flooding protection
Your dishwasher is provided with a
special system which blocks the
water supply in the event of leaks
inside the appliance. It is further
equipped with a water inlet hose
that can withstand extremely high
pressures and that turns bright red
in the event of breakage. Safety in
the event of flooding is ensured by
the second clear hose that contains
the former and thus highlights the
latter when it has turned bright red.
It is vital that you check it on a
regular basis: if you see it has turned
bright red, then you know you have
to replace it as soon as possible.
Call for an authorised technical
engineer to come and replace it.
Drain hose connection.
Fit the drain pipe into a drain line
with a minimum diameter of 4 cm
or place it over the sink. Avoid
restricting or bending it.
The part of the pipe marked with
the letter A should be between 40
and 100 cm above the ground.
The pipe should not be immersed
in water.
A
Electrical connection.
First of all, check that the mains
voltage and frequency values
correspond to those stated on the
rating plate located on the stainless
steel inner door of the appliance
and that the electrical system to
which the dishwasher is connected
is sized for the maximum current
indicated on said rating plate.
Earth: indispensable
safety.
Only now can you plug the
appliance into a socket provided
with an efficient earth connection
(the system's earthing is a
guarantee of safety provided for by
law, make sure your system has
it).

Power supply wire.
Check the power supply wire on a
regular basis; if it is damaged, we
recommend you have it replaced
by an authorised technical
Assistance service centre.
The plug
The dishwasher plug must be
accessible even when the appliance
is installed as a built-in unit so that
maintenance can be done safely.
Condensation-proof tape.
On some models, a transparent
condensation-proof adhesive tape
has been provided.
It should be stuck onto the lower
side of your wooden worktop to
protect it from the formation of
condensation.
When not provided, this tape can
be requested as a spare part from
authorised retailers.
