• During the installation the appliance must be disconnected from the network.
• Do not install the appliance in a place subject to freezing.
• Do not install the appliance near equipment with high irradiation temperature (e.g. gas burners, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the appliance is installed in a compartment above or below another equipment (e.g. gas burners, ovens, etc.), read carefully the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the equipment. If the instructions of the equipment do not contain information, contact the manufacturer of the equipment to ensure that the appliance can be installed above or below it.
• Building-in the appliance underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden. Installing a hob on top of freestanding appliance is absolutely forbidden.
• To ensure stability, install the appliance only under continuous worktop, securely fixed to adjacent cabinets. If the appliance is installed in a high cabinet, both the appliance and the cabinet must be adequately fixed.
• If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one side, the door hinge area must be covered for safety reason (injury hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from specialist dealers or the after-sales.
• Check that the voltage and the frequency of the mains match the ratings on the name plate of the appliance.
• The plug on the supply cord and the corresponding socket outlet must be of the same type and meet the regulations in force. Do not use adaptors or shunt connections in order to avoid the possibility of overheating or burning.
• The plug of the appliance must be accessible after installation. Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the power supply lead.
• If the appliance is provided with a slugless supply cord, an omni polar circuit breaker providing a full disconnection in overvoltage protection class III must be installed in an easily accessible position on the supply lineal.
• The appliance must be connected to the water supply by means of new hoses.
• Briefly test the appliance after installation. Run a wash cycle with a temperature of between 45 and 70°C with the dishwasher empty and using a specific dishwasher detergent.

• Do not clean the machine with a water jet machine, high-pressure or steam cleaners.
• Models with “acquastop” device
  This device prevents flooding in case of water leak. When the “acquastop” device is tripped, contact a qualified technician to identify and repair the fault. In these models the water intake hose contains a solenoid valve. Do not cut the hose and do not allow the solenoid valve to drop into water. In case of damage to the water intake hose, disconnect the appliance from the electrical and water supply.
  Warning: The device only works if the dishwasher is connected to the mains.

Installation

Technical characteristics

Appliance dimensions (mm)

General Information

• This appliance may be placed up against walls or other furniture units.
• If the appliance is installed near a heat source, fit a special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance.
• 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.
• A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and hoses to pass.
• At the end of the installation, perform a short test of the appliance: open the water tap and check that there are no leaks.
• To install the dishwasher against the back wall, the hoses should be passed through the lower area where there is a dedicated space for them.

Level the appliance on the floor using the appropriate Allen key to regulate the adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.

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.

Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden.
Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching appliances which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g. fireplaces, stoves, etc.).
When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation procedures, etc.).

For free-standing models only

• Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely forbidden.

• If the appliance is accessible from one side, the door hinge area has to be covered for safety reasons (risk of injury). The covers are available as an accessory and can be ordered through the
  Technical Assistance Service.

• The top surface of the dishwashers can be removed to allow installation under a worktop. The appropriate kit should be purchased from authorized dealers or via the
  Technical Assistance Service. This must be carried out by authorized personnel.

Water supply connection
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your hands and then complete by tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers.
In dishwashers equipped with the AQUASTOP device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring.

The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60°C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time be approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.

Supplementary note regarding the water connection, for the German market:
Before connecting the product to the water supply, make sure that that the water system has been fitted with a safety device to protect drinking water against contamination due to backflow (according to DIN EN 1717). The water valves and/or taps are fitted with these safety devices if the water system of the house has been properly implemented.

DRAIN CONNECTION
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap.
The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be submerged in water.
If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum 3 m), the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of.85 cm from the ground.

Electrical connection

Check that the voltage and the frequency of the mains match the ratings on the name plate of the appliance positioned on the inner edge of the door.

• The plug on the supply cord and the corresponding socket outlet must be of the same type and meet the regulations in force.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the power supply lead.
• After changing the supply cord, make sure that the bracket which secures the cord is fixed securely in place.
• Do not use adaptors or shunt connections in order to avoid the possibility of overheating or burning.

  The power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or by an Authorized Service Centre.

Light off  Light on  Light flashing

If an alarm occurs, the machine stops the current program and indicates the fault.

• Alarms E1 and E11 require you to contact the technical assistance service.
• Alarm E7 is displayed at the end of the cycle, which is anyway completed, as it does not affect the operation of the dishwasher.

For all other alarms, proceed as follows: stop the current program, switch off the dishwasher. Switch on and program the dishwasher again to start the new wash cycle.

If the malfunction persists, contact your authorized Service Centre and provide it with the fault code.
The contact details of the Technical Assistance Department can be found on the warranty certificate and the website
