by
25
mm
in
order
to
align
the
machine
with
the
other
kitchen
units.
Simply
unscrew
the
two
front
retaining
screws,
move
the

26
Installing
and
Securing
the
Machine
Under
a
Kitchen
Unit
(Sink-Worktop
Unit)
By
removing
the
machine’s
worktop,
you
can
install
it
under
a
close
fitting
sink
unit
or
a
pre-existing
top,
if
the
dimensions
of
the
recess
correspond
to
those
shown
in
the
picture.
Then proceed as follows:
=
Remove
the
machine
worktop
by
unscrewing
the
two
front
retaining
screws,
pull
from
the
front
and
slide
out
of
the
rear
slots,
lifting
the
worktop.
=
Insert
the
machine
after
adjusting
the
height
and
levelling
with
the
adjustable
feet.
When
inserting
the
machine,
ensure
that
the
water
inlet
and
drain
hoses
are
not
bent
or
squashed.
Caution
Once
the
machine
has
been
installed,
ensure
that
it
can
be
accessed
easily
for
servicing.

Fitting a Decor Panel on the Door
The door of this machine has frames for fitting plastic
laminate decor panel in the colour required to match
the dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen furniture. If
you want to do this you must provide this panel your-
self.
Width: 436 mm
Height: 592 mm
Max thickness: 4mm
To Fit the Panel
= Take the door frame off after removing the retaining
screws around the edge.
= Position the panel, refit the frame and tighten the
retaining screws around the edge.
Note
The panel should be fitted before positioning the
machine.

Water Supply Connections
The appliance may be fed with either hot (max. 60°C)
or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing
programmes a lot.
Feeding the appliance with a hot water supply (max.
60°C) will allow you to obtain considerably shorter
programmes.
As to the making of the connection itself, the coupling
nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to
screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or toa
purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-
Block.
To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned to
the left or the right. In either case, be sure to incor-
porate the strainer A supplied with the machine onto
the joint. See picture.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in
the technical specifications, as it will not function
correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.
Caution: the retaining ring must be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent
or slow down the flow of water.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used for a long time, you are
advised to run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits
of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
27

Water Outlet Connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as
follows:
= to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary
with a clip;
= to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum
internal diameter 4 cm,
= hooked over the edge of the sink using the special
curved plastic guide provided.
The waste connection must be at a height of between
30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the
floor.
It makes no difference which way the drain hose
faces either to the right or left of the dishwasher.
Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could
prevent or slow down the discharge of water.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer
than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used
for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller
than the diameter of the drain hose.
Note:
The
sink
plug
must
not
be
in
place
when
the
machine
is
draining
as
this
could
cause
the
water
to
siphon
back
into
the
machine.

The Electrical Connection
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket,
make sure that:
1. the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given
in the technical specifications;
2. the meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall
socket can all take the maximum load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible
without having to use any type of adapter. If neces-
sary, have the domestic wiring system socket
replaced.
Safety standards require the appliance to be
earthed.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to
observe the above safety precautions.
This appliance complies with the E.E.C. Directive No.
87/308 of 2.6.87 relative to radio interference
suppression.
Electric Cable Replacement
if necessary, the electric cable can be replaced.
Unplug the appliance.
The terminal board is located at the back of the appli-
ance and is easily accessible.
Depress with a screwdriver the two tongues of the
terminal board lid. Lift it: unscrew the screw fixing the
cable, unscrew the terminals and replace the cable.
