Installation
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against
the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dish-
washer is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to
the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to
adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be
inclined more than 2˚. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper
performance.
Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector, making sure
that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A). Some models are fitted with an
"Aquastop" water supply hose (see fig.B) in which the small filter is already
housed in the threaded end.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of
time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities.
If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inletcan get blocked
and damage the appliance.

Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains
using new hose-sets and that old hose-sets should
not be reused.
Anti-Flooding protection (for some models)
The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of water in the
event of a problem with the water supply hose, or leaks within the unit, in order to
prevent damage to your home. If for any reason the box containing the electrical
components happens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from the
socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding feature operates
properly, the "A" box with water supply hose must be attached to the water supply
tap as shown in fig.B. No other type of connection is acceptable.The water supply
hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts which
are live. If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the
hose must be replaced with one which is long enough. This hose is available upon
request from specialised retailers and service center.

Drain hose connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it
run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a
syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for the drain hose (fig.C). The
free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not
be immersed in water.
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend)
must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent
the drain hose from moving and allowing water
to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the
home correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel
inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is correct for the
fig.B
maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket
which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement
mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appro-
priate for the plug, replace the whole cable, rather than using adaptors or the
like as they could cause overheating and burns.
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even
when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit
so that maintenance can be done safely.
