• it for other purposes. Commercial use will void the
guarantee.
Do not stand, sit or place loads on the open door of
the dishwasher.
Only use detergents and rinse aids produced
specifically for dishwashers. Our company is not
responsible for any damage that may occur due to
misuse.
Do not drink water from the machine.
Due to the danger of explosion, do not place any
chemical dissolving agents into the machine’s washing
section.
• Check the heat-resistance of plastic items before
washing them in the machine.
Only put items in the machine which are suitable for

2. INSTALLATION
2.1. Machine positioning
When positioning the machine, place it in
an area where dishes can be easily loaded
and unloaded. Do not put the machine in an
area where the ambient temperature falls
below 0°C.
Read all warnings located on the packaging
before removing the packaging and
positioning the machine.
Place the machine close to a water tap
and drain. Take into consideration that the
connections will not be altered once the
machine is in position.
Do not hold the machine by its door or
panel.
Leave an adequate distance around the
machine to allow ease of movement when
cleaning.
Ensure the water inlet and outlet
hoses are not squeezed or trapped
and that the machine does not stand
on the electrical cable while positioning.
Adjust the feet so the machine is level and
balanced. The machine should be placed
on flat ground otherwise it will be unstable
and the door of the machine will not close
properly.
2.2. Water connection
We recommend fitting a filter to your water
inlet supply in order to prevent damage to
your machine due to contamination (sand,
rust, etc.) from indoor plumbing. This will
also help prevent yellowing and deposit
formation after washing.
2.3. Water inlet hose
WARNING: Use the new water inlet
hose supplied with your machine, do not
use an old machine’s hose.
WARNING: Run water through the
new hose before connecting.
WARNING: Connect the hose
directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure
supplied by the tap should be a minimum
of 0.03 MPa and a maximum of 1 MPa. If
the pressure exceeds 1 MPa, a pressure
relief valve must be fitted between the
connection.
WARNING: After the connections are
made, turn the tap on fully and check for
water leaks. Always turn off the water inlet
tap after a wash program has finished.
An Aquastop water spout is available
with some models. Do not damage it
or allow it to become kinked or
twisted.
2.4. Drain Hose
Connect water drain hose directly to water
dra-in hole or to the sink outlet spigot. This
connection should be minimum 50 cm and
maximum 110 cm from flor plane.
IMPORTANT: Items will not wash
properly if a drain hose longer than 4
m is used.

EN - 7
2.5. Electrical connection
WARNING: Your machine is set to
operate at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage
supply to your machine is 110 V, connect
a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W
between the electrical connection.
The earthed plug of the machine
must be connected to an earthed outlet
supplied by suitable voltage and current.
In the absence of earthing
installation, an authorised electrician
should carry out an earthing installation.
In the case of use without earthing
installed, we will not be responsible for
any loss of use that may occur.
The indoor fuse current value
should be 10-16 A.
2.6. Fitting the machine undercounter
If you wish to fit your machine undercounter,
there must be sufficient space to do so and
the wiring-plumbing must be suitable to do
so (1). If the space under the countertop is
suitable for fitting your machine, remove the
worktop as shown in the illustration (2).
WARNING: The countertop, of which
the machine will be placed under, must be
stable in order to prevent imbalance.
The top panel of the dishwasher must
be removed to fit the machine under the
countertop.
To remove the top panel, remove the
screws that hold it on, located at the rear
of the machine. Then, push the panel 1 cm
from the front towards the rear and lift it.
Adjust the machine feet according to the
slope of the floor (3).
Fit your machine by pushing it under the
counter taking care not to crush or bend the
hoses (4).
