Installation and Assistance

* 

Only available in selected models.

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an 

upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its 

back.

Positioning and levelling

1.  Remove  the  appliance  from  all  packaging  and  check  that 

it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been 

damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further 

with the installation process.

2. Arrange the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in 

contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance 

can also be recessed under a single worktop

*

(see the Assembly 

Instruction sheet.)

3. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor 

is uneven, the front feet of the appliance should be adjusted 

until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled 

correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or 

cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

*

. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal 

bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher 

using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the 

spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an 

anticlockwise direction to decrease it 

(see Building-in Instruction 

sheet attached to the documentation.)

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only 

be performed by a qualified technician.

The dishwasher should not stand on the water hoses or 

electricity supply cable.

The appliance must be connected to the water supply 

network using new hoses.

Never use old or second hand hose sets. Do not reuse hose 

sets from any previously installed dishwasher.

The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable 

may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve 

the best possible installation.

Connecting the water inlet hose

•  To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching 

the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any 

impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the 

appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet 

hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection.

•  To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher 

may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you 

have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it 

does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. 

Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a 

cold water supply.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store 

or an authorised technician 

(see Assistance.)

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in 

the Technical Data table 

(see adjacent information.)

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with 

a minimum diameter of 4 cm. 

The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm 

from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).

Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove 

the plastic plug (B).

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply 

in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety 

device 

New Acqua Stop

*

, which guarantees anti-flooding 

protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut, as 

it contains live electrical parts.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure 

that:

•  The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations.

•  the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, 

which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of 

the door 

(see Description of the appliance);

•  The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on 

the data plate on the inside of the door.

•  The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If 

this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace 

the plug (

see Assistance

); do not use extension cables or 

multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply 

cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced 

by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order 

to prevent all potential hazards 

(see Assistance.)

Anti-condensation strip

*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the 

adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order 

to protect it from any condensation which may form.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the 

retaining elastic elements from the upper rack, if any.

Immediately before the fist washing,

 completely fill the salt 

dispenser  with  water  and  add  only  then  approximately  1 

kg of salt 

(see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). 

The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause 

for concern. Select the water hardness value 

(see chapter 

entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - After the salt has been 

poured  into  the  machine,  the  LOW  SALT  indicator  light

*

switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and 

the heating element may be damaged as a result.
