or back panel are in contact with the adjacent
cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also
be recessed under a single worktop* (see the
Assembly instruction sheet).
3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If
the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance ay
be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the
angle of inclination ust not exceed 2 degrees). If the
appliance is levelled correctly, it will be ore stable
and uch less likely to ove or cause vibrations and
noise while it is operating.
4*. Adjust the height of the rear foot fro the front of
the appliance* on the central lower part of the
dishwasher, turning a hexagonal spanner (red color)
with an opening of 8 in a clockwise direction to
increase the height or in an anticlockwise direction to
decrease the height.
Anti-condensation strip*
After installing the dishwasher, open the door and
stick the adhesive transparent strip under the
wooden shelf in order to protect it fro any

the salt dispenser with water and add only then
approxi ately 1 kg of salt (see chapter entitled
Rinse aid and refined salt). The water ay overflow:
this is nor al and is not a cause for concern. Select
the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse

EN Connecting the water supplies
Connection to the water and electricity supplies
should only be perfor ed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the
water hoses or the electricity supply cable.
Connecting the water inlet hose
The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the
electricity supply cable ay be positioned towards
the right or the left in order to achieve the best
possible installation (see figure).
 To a suitable cold water connection point: before
attaching the hose, run the water until it is
perfectly clear so that any i purities that ay be
present in the water do not clog the appliance;
after perfor ing this operation, screw the inlet
hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded
connection.
 To a suitable hot water connection point: your
dishwasher ay be provided with hot water fro
the ains supply (if you have a central heating
syste with radiators) provided that it does not
exceed a te perature of 60°C.
Screw the hose to the tap as described for
connection to a cold water supply.
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised technician (see
Assistance).
The water pressure ust be within the values
indicated in the Technical data table (see
Installation).
The hose should not be bent or co pressed.
The appliance ust be connected to the water
supply network using new hoses.
Do not use old hoses.
Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected
and the old hose is disposed of safely.
Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold
water supply. DO NOT overtighten the hose
connector, hand tight is sufficient.
Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.
Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are
available to suit your tap.
DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single
outlet instantaneous water heater or an electric
heater.
Standpipe
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too far down the
standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted
with retaining flaps*, ensure they are
inserted fully into the standpipe. This
will prevent the pipe fro ju ping out
during installation and use.
DO NOT position the standpipe near an
electrical outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it
is routed as shown in the diagra .
The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38
(11/2). It should be installed as shown, have a trap
fitted and ust discharge into the sa e drain
syste as your household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water
drain.
* Only available in selected odels.

Anti- looding protection*
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:
- is provided with a special syste which blocks the
water supply in the event of ano alies or leaks fro
inside the appliance.
So e odels are also equipped with the
supple entary safety device New Acqua Stop*,
which guarantees anti-flooding protection even in the
event of a supply hose rupture.
* Only available in selected odels.
Sink Waste S stem
For under sink drainage:
 before connecting the drain hose, re ove any
internal restrictions; this will prevent a build up of
debris which could cause a blockage
 re ove any restrictions fro the waste spigot and
ensure that the sealing bung is re oved
 the hose should be routed, such that it is raised
to a ini u height of 800 (31/2).
Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a ini u
dia tere of 32 .
 Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose fro
the rear of the appliance.
 Reposition the Hooked End Support as required
along the GREY drainage hose.
 If fitting an under sink
waste disposal unit, cut
out the e brane, bung
or blanking plug.
Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to
prevent it co ing away while the achine is in
use and causing a flood.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circu stance should the water inlet hose
be cut as it contains live electrical parts.
The Co pany shall not be held responsible for
any incidents that occur if these regulations are not
observed.
