2.2 General Information
 This appliance may be placed up against walls or other furniture units.
 If the appliance is installed near a heat source, fit a special insulating panel to
prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance.
 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.
 A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and
hoses to pass.
 At the end of the installation, perform a short test of the appliance: open the water
tap and check that there are no leaks.
 To install the dishwasher against the back wall, the hoses should be passed
through the lower area where there is a dedicated space for them.
Level the appliance on the floor using the appropriate Allen key to
regulate the 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.

Installation

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 accessible from one side, the door hinge area has to be
covered for safety reasons (risk of injury). The covers are available as an
accessory and can be ordered through the Technical Assistance Service.
- The top surface of the dishwashers can be removed to
allow installation under a worktop. The
appropriate kit should be purchased from authorised dealers or via the
Technical Assistance Service. This must be carried out by authorised
personnel.
2.3 Water supply connection
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas
thread, inserting the filter A supplied 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 dishwashers equipped with the AQUASTOP 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 be
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.

Installation
11
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 3 m), the drain hose can
be placed at a maximum height of.
85 cm
from the ground.
2.4 Electrical connection
Check that the voltage and the frequency of the mains match the ratings
on the name plate of the appliance positioned on the inner edge of the
door.
 The plug on the supply cord and the corresponding socket outlet must be of the
same type and meet the regulations in force.
 The plug must be accessible after installation.

Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the power supply lead.
 After changing the supply cord, make sure that the bracket which secures the cord
is fixed securely in place.
 Do not use adaptors or shunt connections in order to avoid the possibility of
overheating or burning.
The power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or by an
Authorized Service Centre.
