Position The AppliancePosition the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.Levelling the applianceOnce the appliance is positioned for levelling, the height of the dishwasher may be altered via adjustment of the screwing level of the feet.In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2°. NOTE:Only apply to the free standing dishwasher.18Free Standing Installation
Fitting between existing carbinets
The height of the dishwasher, 845 mm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted so that correct height is reached.The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof.

Underneath existing work top
(When fitting beneath a work top)In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (a).aabbBuilt-In Installation(for the integrated model)Step 1.
