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
installation 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 INSTALLED
AND GROUNDED BY A QUALIFIED FITTER. THIS
SAFETY REQUIREMENT MUST BE MET. IN CASE OF DOUBT,
CALL IN A QUALIFIED FITTER. THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES
ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO PERSONS
OR PROPERTY RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE TO GROUND
THE APPLIANCE OR FROM A DEFECTIVE GROUND CONNECTION.
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION, DISCONNECT
THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY FROM THE WORK AREA.

Level the appliance using the relative adjustable feet (e.g.: ref. A fig. 5);
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. 6); use a suitable Phillips screwdriver to turn the screw until the
dishwasher is perfectly level.
Use a spirit level to check the appliance is perfectly level (ref. B fig.
6).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
dishwasher and the worktop (ref. C fig. 6).

5.2 Connections
Install the dishwasher so as to allow ease of access to the electrical and
hydraulic 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 7 indicates the distances to maintain between the dishwasher and
the various connections.
FIRE HAZARD!
DO NOT COVER OR CRUSH THE CORD PLUG.
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. 8). 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
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.
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.9). Firmly secure the hose by tightening the
relative ring nut with your hands (ref. B fig. 9); fi nish by tightening
another ¼ turn using a pair of plumbing pliers. For models fi tted with
ACQUASTOP (ref. C fig. 9) the fi lter is already present in the threaded
ring nut.
The dishwasher can be fi lled with water at a temperature of less than
60°C (140°F).
If the appliance is fi lled with hot water, washing times will be reduced by
about 20 minutes, but effi ciency 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, fi t 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 fi tted with this
accessory, remove the hose and plug the hole.

Do not cut the inlet hose (see fig. 10). 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. 11) in order to prevent cracks or breakages that
could damage it.

5.2.1.2 Connecting to a drain hose
Insert the relative hose into a drain with a minimum diameter of 4 cm
(1-37/64") (ref. A fig.12); alternatively, place the hose on the sink
(ref. B fig. 11) using the supplied hose support (see fig.13), but taking care to
avoid obstructions or excessive curving. Make sure the hose cannot fall out.
For this purpose, the hose support is fi tted with a hole (ref. A fig. 13) which
can be used to fi x 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.12) 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.
