Remove a packaging before positioning the machine.
If possib e, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
Fitting under a counter
(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can insta it under a
c ose fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the
picture.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear
retaining screws, pu from the front and s ide out the rear
s ots, ifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting height and eve ing with the
adjustab e feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water in et and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
If the dishwasher is ater used as a free-standing app iance,
the origina worktop must be re-mounted.
The p inth on free-standing app iances is not adjustab e.

Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 50°C) or co d
water. Neverthe ess we advise you a co d water supp y.
A hot water supp y is not a ways efficient with very soied
crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a ot.
For making the connection itse f, the coup ing nut fitted to the
machine’s suppy hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4"
inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coup ing tap
such as the Press-b ock.
The water pressure must be within the imits given in the
technica specifications. Your oca Water Authority wi advise
you on the average mains pressure in your area.
The water in et hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entang ed
when it is being connected up.
The dishwasher features fi and drain hoses which can be
turned either to the eft or the right to suit the insta ation by
means of the ocknut. (Attention! NOT a mode s of
dishwashers have fi and drain hoses provided with ocknut. In
this case, this kind of faci ity is not possib e).
The ocknut must be correct y fitted to avoid water eaks.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have
not been used for a ong time, you shou d run the water for a
few minutes before connecting the in et hose.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the
wash water returning into the drinking water system and
comp y with the app icab e p umbing regu ations.
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the doub e-wa ed water in et hose, the safety
va ve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inet hose is ony
under pressure whi e the water is running. If the water in et
hose starts to eak during this operation, the safety va ve cuts
off the running water.
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
- The distance between the bottom edge of the safety va ue
and the f oor on which the dishwasher is standing must be at
east 30 cm:
- The e ectrica cab e for the safety va ve is in the doub e-
wa ed water in et hose. Do not immerse the water in et hose
or the safety va ve in water.
- If water in et hose or the safety va ve is damaged, remove
the mains p ug immediate y.
- A water in et hose with safety va ve must on y be rep aced by

diameter of the hose provided.
Attention!
Our app iances are supp ied with a security device to protect
against the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return va ve" incorporated
this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher.
We advise you therefore to remove it.
