5. Installation
5-1.Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it,
and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply
and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
5-2.Leveling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the
dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2°. If the
appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
5-3.Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector,
making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is
clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there
is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old
hose-sets should not be reused.
5-4.Drain hose connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink,
making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a
connecting piece for the drain hose (fig.B). The free end of the hose must be at a height between
40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be solidly fastened to the wall to
prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to
those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the
electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an
electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement
mandated by law).If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not
appropriate for the plug, replace the whole cable, rather than using adaptors as they could cause
overheating and risk of fire.
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in
unit so that maintenance can be done safely.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)
For your safety please read the following information.

socket, suitably earthed and should be protected by a 13 amp fuse in the plug.
The appliance is supplied with a rewireable 13 amp 3-pin plug fitted with a 13-amp fuse. Should
the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp and approved to
BS1362.
If the mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any other
reason,then the cut off plug should be disposed of safely to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
Remove the fuse before disposal.
There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13-amp socket outlet.
How to wire a 13 amp plug.
Important

7. How to fill the salt
7-1.Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher,
deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to
eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
7-2.Loading the salt into the container
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
●When the low salt indicator “I” lights, you must fill the salt.
●Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap
from the salt container;
●If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
●Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce
about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to
come out of the salt container.
●Carefully screw the cap back on.
Important
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.
7-3.Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based
on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the
level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
●Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
●There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to
the side).

8. How to fill rinse aid and detergent dispenser
8-1.How to fill rinse aid
Rinse aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without
spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door .
When the low rinse aid indicator “H” lights, you must load rinse aid .
Loading the rinse aid
Regardless of the type of detergent dispenser installed on your
appliance, you must proceed as indicated below when loading the rinse
aid.
To open the dispenser, turn the "2" cap in an anti-clockwise direction
and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The amount
of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning the " 3"
dose adjustor, located beneath the "2" cap, with a screwdriver. There
are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.
Important
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjuster
should be turned to a higher setting.
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster to a lower setting.
8-2. How to fill the detergent dispenser
Detergent
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used.
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle
following the instructions provided in the "Programme overview". The
detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door.
