Free Standing Installation

1. Install the appliance on solid ground. Adjust accurately all feet to get a firm, horizontal position.

INFORMATION! Only with a correct level the appliance door closes and seals correctly.

Installation under Worktop

1. The dimensions of the recess should at least agree with the dimensions in the figure.

2. Put the appliance adjacent to the slot. Make sure that all connections water, drain water ,power) are neatly positioned and connected.

3. Optional: Remove the worktop of the appliance.

4. Adjust accurately all feet to get a firm level position.

5. Install the appliance carefully into the recess.

WARNING! If used as free standing appli- ance again, the worktop must be remounted.

Fresh Water Connection

1. Take note of water connection requirements.

• The dishwasher has a single valve water connection.
• We recommend a cold water connection for best performance and energy efficiency.
• The incoming water temperature should not exceed 25°C.

2. Take note of the permitted water pressure extremes.

• Lowest: 0.3 bar = 3 N/cm² = 30kPa
• Where pressure is below I bar, contact a qualified plumber.
• Highest: 10 bar = 100 N/cm² = IMPa
• Where pressure is above 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve must be installed. Contact a qualified plumber.

3. Connect the water inlet hose to an accessible water tap with a 3/4" BSP connector (see fig.A). Ensure that there is no kink in the inlet hose that could restrict the flow of water. A 90° bend requires a minimum height of 200 mm for a kink-free curve.

• Ensure incoming water is clear. If the water pipes have not been used for a long period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear with no impurities. Not doing so may result in the water inlet hose getting blocked and damaging the appliance.
• If required, use a filter insert to filter out deposits from the piping. The filter insert is available from your Authorised Service Centre or Customer Care.

4. Tighten the hose coupling a further half turn after seal contact.

5. Check that the connection does not leak.

• 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.

Anti-Flooding protection

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, turn off the power supply and 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 ratailers and approved service center. button.

DrainWater Connection

Fix the water drain hose properly to the piping.The hose has to reach at one point a height between 400 and 850 mm above the appliance bottom line!

An extension hose for the water drain hose must not exceed a total length of m and must have the same diameter as the water drain hose.

Following connections are possible:

Drain hose to sink

• Hang the drain hose with the U-support over the edge of a sink with adequate size.
• Protect the U-support sufficiently against slipping.

Drain hose to waste water connection

• The internal diameter of the stand pipe with vent-hole must be minimum 40mm.
• Put the drain hose for approx.80 mm in the wastewater pipe.
• Attach the U-support and secure it sufficiently

Drain hose to sink connection

• When connecting the drain hose to a sink trap with a drain hose spigot, make sure that the drain hose is supported to the height of the bench.
• Ensure the drain spigot has a minimum hole diameter of 15 mm and it has been drilled out.

CAUTION! Ensure always that all connections (power supply, drain and fresh water hose are firm, dry and leak free! ). Take care these parts are never to be crushed, kinked, or twisted . If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the service agent (see warranty card) in order to avoid a hazard.
