Installation instructions

2. Installation and hook-up
Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.
Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides
of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If
the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel
to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance. To ensure stability,
install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops,
and screw them to the adjacent units. To facilitate the installation procedure,
the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that
the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Make sure to tighten
the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction
required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply
cable and pipes to pass.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is
essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely
forbidden. 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.
For free-standing models only: if the appliance is not built-in and is
therefore accessible on one side, the door hinge area must be covered for
safety reasons (injury hazard).
The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from specialist dealers or
the After-Sales Service.
To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from
authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.
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.
2.1 Water supply connection
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.
