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.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation
is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
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.
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 on 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.
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.

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 dishwashers 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.

2.2 Electrical connection and precautions
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.
IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUPPLY CORD, HAVE IT REPLACED
BY THE MANUFACTURER OR AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICAL SERVICE
CENTRE.
DO NOT USE ADAPTORS OR SHUNT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID
THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERHEATING OR BURNING.
IF THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH A PLUGLESS SUPPLY CORD:
IT IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL IN THE FIXED WIRING AN ALL-POLE
DISCONNECTION DEVICE HAVING A GAP BETWEEN CONTACTS OF AT
LEAST 3.5MM. AFTER INSTALLATION THE DISCONNECTION DEVICE HAS
TO BE EASY TO REACH.
THE CONNECTION TO THE MAINS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SCHEME SHOWN
BELOW AND THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
L= brown
N= blue
= yellow-green
In the event of damage to the supply cord, have it replaced by the
manufacturer or an Authorized Technical Service Centre in order to
avoid any risk.

FOR GREAT BRITAIN ONLY:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Fuse replacement
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted
with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to
change a fuse in this type of plug use an
A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type
and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fuse cover Aand fuse B.
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse
cover.
3. Refit both into plug.
The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse
cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is
fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or the colour
embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

(available in all programs except the soak program)
Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak
program) to SHORTEN the cycle. To activate this option, press button
(light comes on) after selecting the program required.
The option is automatically deactivated at the end of the program.
ENERSAVE
At the end of the drying cycle, a special device automatically releases
the door, which opens slowly and smoothly by a few centimetres. This
ensures perfect drying and greater control of rinsing temperatures.
Once the door has opened, the dishwasher emits a short. The option is
activated by pressing key and the relative light illuminates to indicate
its activation.
When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be
impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the

If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the “3/1”
option is activated, the relative light flashes, warning of a setting error.
3in1 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.
HYCLEAN
Increases the temperature of the final hot rinse to 70°C to ensure a further
reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature in the tank falls during
this stage of the program (e.g. because the door is opened or due to a
power blackout), the light of the option and the program lights flash to warn
that the additional washing phase has not been completed successfully.
This does not mean that the wash program has been less effective than
usual.
SPREAD HALF LOAD
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy
and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then
load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full
load.
PROGRAM DELAY
The PROGRAM DELAY button can be pressed to delay the start of the
washing program by from 1 to 12/24 hours depending on the model. This
option allows the dishwasher to be operated at the time of day of the user's
choice. The first time the PROGRAM DELAY button is pressed the option
light comes on and 1:h appears on the DISPLAY (9). The button can then
be pressed again, to set the delay required (2:h, 3:h, … etc.). If no button is
pressed for a few seconds, the DISPLAY (9) shows the time left (time
remaining) to the end of the selected program (e.g. 5:40, duration of the
washing cycle + program delay). When the user confirms the program start
(read the relative section) a prewash will be carried out, after which the
PROGRAM DELAY set will begin, and the time remaining on the DISPLAY
will gradually be counted down. At the end of the delay set, the option light
goes out and the washing cycle starts.
•N.B.: It is not possible to select the PROGRAM DELAY option once
the cycle has begun.
