2. Installation and hook-up
Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.
Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or
sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other
furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the
special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the
appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under
dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the
adjacent units. To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and
drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that the hoses
are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Make sure to tighten the
locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction
required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power
supply cable and pipes to pass. Before putting the dishwasher into its
definitive position, turn on the water tap and check that there are no
leaks from the tap connection, the dishwasher connection or the hose.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation
is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear,
which can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the
appliance.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden.
Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching
appliances which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g.
fireplaces, stoves, etc.).
When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more
other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations
provided by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation
procedures, etc.).
For free-standing models only:
- Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely
forbidden.
- If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one side, the
door hinge area must be covered for safety
reasons (injury hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an
accessory from specialist dealers or the After-Sales
Service.
- To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from
authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.

2.1 Water supply connection
Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or
has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply
check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to
the appliance.
The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system
with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾”
gas thread, inserting the filter Asupplied with the
dishwasher.
Take care to screw the hose firmly into
place with your hands and then complete by
tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers.
In dishwas
hers equipped with the ACQUASTOP
device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded
ring.
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply
not
exceeding 60°C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the
washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its
effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using
the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.
DRAIN CONNECTION
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose
into a drain pipe having a diameter
of at least 4 cm, or alternatively,
place it inside the kitchen sink
using the plastic support provided,
taking care not to crush or
excessively bend the hose. It is
important to prevent the hose from
coming loose and falling. For this
purpose, the plastic support is
equipped with a hole for tying it to
the wall or water tap.
The free end should be positioned at a height of between
30 and 100
cm,and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain
extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be
placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground.

"3/1" OPTION BUTTON
By pressing the button (8) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when
the relative
light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of
dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of
regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as “3 in 1” or “triple
action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an
optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could
already be found in the dishwasher.
Note: When selecting the "3/1" button, it is normal that the salt and
rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty.
IMPORTANT: when no longer required, the option must be disabled by
pressing the relative button (the light goes out).
If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the 3/1
option is activated, the “3/1” OPTION LIGHT (9) flashes, warning of a
setting error, because these products are not suitable for use with very
hard water. This does not prevent the use of the option, but the washing
results might not be of the best.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
•Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
•Do not wash the dishes in running water.
•Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
•Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
•If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to
60°C.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to
save on electricity, observe the following:
•separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more
resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
•do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but
not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce
energy consumption.
In this state, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending
on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds).
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower
basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the
upper basket.
