1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of our products. To install this dish-
washer correctly and safely, please read this manual carefully. The
manual is divided into sections giving you a step-by-step guide to
installation of the appliance. The texts are easy to understand and
are complete with detailed illustrations. This user-friendly manual will
provide answers to all your questions about installation of the dish-
washer.
This manual comprises the following sections:
INTRODUCTION: general information about the manual.
WARNINGS: a list of warnings concerning safety during installation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: for the qualified technician who
must carry out the installation, hook-up and testing of the appli-
ance.
Nomenclature of figures and tables:
The progressive number of each figure is shown in the bottom right-
hand corner of the relative box. An example of a progressive number
is “Fig. 4-01”, where the first number (4) indicates the section to
which the figure belongs, while the second number (01) indicates
the progressive number of the figure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is the
first figure in section 4). The tables are numbered in the same way,
bearing in mind that “Tab.” is used instead of “Fig.” (e.g.: Tab. 4-01
is the first table in section 4). If a table occupies more than one page,
a letter is added after the progressive number (e.g.: “Tab. 4-01a”,
Tab. 4-01b”).

5 INSTALLATION AND HOOK-UP
DURING INSTALLATION, TAKE CARE NOT TO INJURE YOURSELF
ON THE SHARP EDGES OF THE APPLIANCE.
Remove the polystyrene rack blocks. Position the appliance in the chosen in-
stallation position. The sides and rear of the appliance can lie against kitchen
units or walls. If the dishwasher is installed next to a heat source, separate it
with a heat insulating panel in order to prevent overheating and malfunctions.
To assure stability, only install built-in appliances under continuous worktops,
securing them to the adjacent kitchen units or worktop with screws.
BUILDING-IN A DISHWASHER UNDERNEATH A CERAMIC HOB IS
ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. A DISHWASHER CAN BE BUILT-IN
UNDERNEATH A CONVENTIONAL HOB PROVIDED THERE IS NO
BREAK IN THE KITCHEN WORKTOP, AND THE DISHWASHER
AND HOB ARE INSTALLED AND SECURED CORRECTLY, SO
THAT NO HAZARDS ARE GENERATED.
MAKE SURE THE DISHWASHER HAS BEEN CORRECTLY IN-
STALLED AND GROUNDED BY A QUALIFIED FITTER. THIS
SAFETY REQUIREMENT MUST BE MET. IN CASE OF DOUBT,
CALL IN A QUALIFIED FITTER. THE MANUFACTURER DE-
CLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO PERSONS
OR PROPERTY RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE TO GROUND
THE APPLIANCE OR FROM A DEFECTIVE GROUND CON-
NECTION.
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION, DISCONNECT
THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY FROM THE WORK AREA.
Only for free-standing models
• It is strictly forbidden to mount a hob over a free-standing dishwasher.

12 Rev 0.0
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSEN
• If the appliance is not in a niche and can therefore be accessed on one
side, cover the door hinge area for safety reasons (cutting hazard). Covers
are available as accessories from specialized retailers or from the Technical
Service Centre.
• To build in the dishwasher, purchase the relative kit from specialized retail-
ers or from the Technical Service Centre.
5.1 Leveling
5.1.2 Levelling the appliance
Level the appliance using the relative adjustable feet (e.g.: ref. A fig. 5-01); use
an open-ended wrench to rotate the feet until the dishwasher is perfectly level.
Some models are fitted with just one rear foot which can be adjusted with a
screw located at the bottom front of the appliance (ref. A fig. 5-02); use a suit-
able Phillips screwdriver or 8 mm hex head bushing to turn the screw until the
dishwasher is perfectly level.
Use a spirit level to check the appliance is perfectly level (ref. B fig. 5-01).
Leveling is vital for assuring correct dishwasher operation.
Make sure to leave a gap of at least 3 mm (7/64”) between the top of the dish-
washer and the worktop (ref. C fig. 5-01).

5.2 Connections
Install the dishwasher so as to allow ease of access to the electrical and hy-
draulic connections through the adjacent unit. These connections must never
be behind the dishwasher.
The inlet and drain hoses can be pointed in all directions. make sure that they
are not bent, crushed or too tight. Tighten the ring nut after pointing the hoses
in the required direction.
Figure 5-03 indicates the distances to maintain between the dishwasher and
the various connections.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSEN
A through hole with a diameter of at least 8 cm (5/32”) is required to pass the
hoses and power cord (ref. A fig. 5-04).
Make sure there area no rough edges that could damage the power cord or
hoses. If the dishwasher is installed in a metal unit protect the edge of the
through hole for the hoses and power cord with a gasket. Do not use extension
cords when making the electrical connection as these do not guarantee safety.
ATTENTION!
INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER IN A NARROW SPACE MAY BEND
OR CRUSH THE POWER CORD. TAKE GREAT CARE IN ORDER TO
REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING THE POWER CORD
WHEN INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE APPLIANCE.

5.2.1 Connecting to the water supply
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 PRE-
VENT DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE. THE DISHWASHER MUST
ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO THE WATER SYSTEM WITH
NEW HOSES; OLD OR USED HOSES MUST NEVER BE RE-
USED.
Fig. 5-04

Rev 0.0 15
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EN
5.2.1.1 Connecting to the water tap
Connect the inlet hose to a threaded ¾” gas cold water tap, fitting the supplied
filter (ref. A fig. 5-05). Firmly secure the hose by tightening the relative
ring nut with your hands (ref. B fig. 5-05); finish by tightening another
¼ turn using a pair of plumbing pliers. For models fitted with ACQUAS-
TOP (ref. C fig. 5-05) the filter is already present in the threaded ring nut.
The dishwasher can be filled with water at a temperature of less than
60°C (140°F).
If the appliance is filled with hot water, washing times will be reduced by about
20 minutes, but efficiency will be slightly impaired. Make the connection to the
domestic hot water tap using the same methods described for connecting the
appliance to the cold water tap.
• Recommended temperature: 49°C (120°F), max. 60°C (140°F).
• Recommended water pressure: 0.5 - 9 bar (7 -130 PSI).
If the pressure is too high, fit a pressure reducer.
A rubber hose connected to a sink spray may burst if installed on the
same pipes feeding the dishwasher. If your sink is fitted with this ac-
cessory, remove the hose and plug the hole.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSEN
Do not cut the inlet hose (see fig. 5-06).
If the hose is cut, the dishwasher will not work, water will leak and you may be
injured.
If the hose is too long, wind it up tidily and place it behind the appliance.
The cable harness and electrical components must not come into contact with
the hydraulic system and the water inlet and drain hoses.
When connecting the dishwasher drain hose to the sink make sure that the
hose is not bent (ref. A fig. 5-07) in order to prevent cracks or breakages that
could damage it.

5.2.1.2 Connecting the drain hose
Connecting to a drain
Insert the relative hose into a drain with a minimum diameter of 4 cm (1-37/64”)
(ref. A fig. 5-08); alternatively, place the hose on the sink (ref. B fig. 5-08) using
the supplied hose support (see fig. 5-9), but taking care to avoid obstructions
or excessive curving. Make sure the hose cannot fall out. For this purpose,
the hose support is fitted with a hole (ref. A fig. 5-9) which can be used to fix
it to the wall or the tap with a piece of string. The free end must lie at a height
ranging from of 30 to 100 cm (from of 1-7/32” to 3-59/64”) (see fig. 5-08)
and must never be immerged in water. If horizontal extension hoses with a
maximum length of 3m are used, position the drain hose at a maximum height
of 85 cm (3-11/32”) above the floor.

Connecting to a “T” union of the drain circuit
MAKE THE CONNECTION UPLINE FROM THE SIPHON OF THE
DRAIN LINE AND AT LEAST 400 mm (15-3/4”) ABOVE THE FLOOR
ON WHICH THE DISHWASHER WILL BE INSTALLED.
1. Connect the dishwasher drain hose (ref. A fig. 5-10) to the “T” union (ref. B
fig. 5-10) of the drain circuit using a 38 to 50 mm (1-1/2 to 2”) screw clamp*
(ref. C fig. 5-10); if necessary, cut the end of the dishwasher drain hose (ref.
D fig. 5-10) (do not cut the corrugated section).
