 If the appliance is installed in a compartment above
or below another equipment (e.g. gas burners,
ovens, etc.), read carefully the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the equipment. If the
instructions of the equipment do not contain
information, contact the manufacturer of the
equipment to ensure that the appliance can be
installed above or below it.
 Building-in the appliance underneath a hob is
absolutely forbidden. Installing a hob on top of free-
standing appliance is absolutely forbidden.
 To ensure stability, install the appliance only under
continuous worktop, securely fixed to adjacent
cabinets. If the appliance is installed in a high
cabinet, both the appliance and the cabinet must be

2.2 General Information

This appliance6
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
s
ure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled
too tightly.
 A hole at least 8 cm (3" 5/32) in diameter is req
uired
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 wate
r tap and check that
there are no leaks.

To install the dishwasher against the back wall, the
hoses should be passe
d through the lower area
where there is a dedicated space for them.
Level the appliance on the floor using the
appropriate Allen key to r
egulate 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
11
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 dishwashe
r 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 or
dered 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 h
ose firmly into place with your
hands and then complete by tightening
about ¼ of a turn with pliers.
In dishwash
ers 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 (140°F)
.
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 procedu
re described for
connecting to the cold water supply.

Installation
13
DRAIN
CONNECTION
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose
into a drain pipe having a diameter
of at least 4 cm (1"37/64)
, or
alternatively, place it inside the
kitchen sink using the plastic support
provid
ed, 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 positi
oned at
a height of between 30 and 100 cm
(11" 13/16 and 3' 3" 3/8),
and
should never be submerged in
water.
If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a
maximum 3 m - 118"
), the drain hose can be placed at
a maximum height of 85 cm (2' 9" 15/32)
from the
ground.

Installation

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 o
utlet 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 th
e supply cord, make sure that the
bracket which secures th
e cord is fixed securely in
place.

Do not use adaptors or shunt connections
in
order to avoid the possibility of overheating or
burning.
