INSTALLATION AND HOOK-UP

DURING INSTALLATION, TAKE CARE NOT TO INJURE YOURSELF ON THE SHARP EDGES OF THE APPLIANCE.

Remove the polystyrene rack blocks. Position the appliance in the chosen in- stallation position. The sides and rear of the appliance can lie against kitchen units or walls. If the dishwasher is installed next to a heat source, separate it with a heat insulating panel in order to prevent overheating and malfunctions. To assure stability, only install built-in appliances under continuous worktops, securing them to the adjacent kitchen units or worktop with screws.

• 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.
• MAKE SURE THE DISHWASHER HAS BEEN CORRECTLY IN-STALLED AND GROUNDED BY A QUALIFIED FITTER. THIS SAFETY REQUIREMENT MUST BE MET. IN CASE OF DOUBT, CALL IN A QUALIFIED FITTER. THE MANUFACTURER DE-CLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE TO GROUND THE APPLIANCE OR FROM A DEFECTIVE GROUND CON-NECTION .
• BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION, DISCONNECT THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY FROM THE WORK AREA.

Only for free-standing models

• It is strictly forbidden to mount a hob over a free-standing dishwasher.
• If the appliance is not in a niche and can therefore be accessed on one side, cover the door hinge area for safety reasons (cutting hazard). Covers are available as accessories from specialized retailers or from the Technical Service Centre.
• To build in the dishwasher, purchase the relative kit from specialized retail-ers or from the Technical Service Centre.

Leveling

Levelling the appliance
Level the appliance using the relative adjustable feet (e.g.: ref. A fi g. 5-01); use an open-ended wrench to rotate the feet until the dishwasher is perfectly level. Some models are fi tted with just one rear foot which can be adjusted with a screw located at the bottom front of the appliance (ref. A fi g. 5-02); use a suit-able Phillips screwdriver or 8 mm hex head bushing to turn the screw until the dishwasher is perfectly level. Use a spirit level to check the appliance is perfectly level (ref. B fi g. 5-01). Leveling is vital for assuring correct dishwasher operation. Make sure to leave a gap of at least 3 mm (7/64”) between the top of the dish-washer and the worktop (ref. C fi g. 5-01).

Connections

Install the dishwasher so as to allow ease of access to the electrical and hy- draulic connections through the adjacent unit. These connections must never be behind the dishwasher. The inlet and drain hoses can be pointed in all directions. make sure that they are not bent, crushed or too tight. Tighten the ring nut after pointing the hoses in the required direction. Figure 5-03 indicates the distances to maintain between the dishwasher and the various connections.

FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT COVER OR CRUSH THE CORD PLUG.

A through hole with a diameter of at least 8 cm (5/32”) is required to pass the hoses and power cord (ref. A fi g. 5-04). Make sure there area no rough edges that could damage the power cord or hoses. If the dishwasher is installed in a metal unit protect the edge of the through hole for the hoses and power cord with a gasket. Do not use extension cords when making the electrical connection as these do not guarantee safety.

ATTENTION!
INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER IN A NARROW SPACE MAY BEND OR CRUSH THE POWER CORD. TAKE GREAT CARE IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING THE POWER CORD WHEN INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE APPLIANCE.

Connecting to the water supply

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 PRE-VENT DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE. THE DISHWASHER MUST ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO THE WATER SYSTEM WITH NEW HOSES; OLD OR USED HOSES MUST NEVER BE RE-USED.

Connecting to the water tap
Connect the inlet hose to a threaded ¾” gas cold water tap, fi tting the supplied fi lter (ref. A fi g. 5-05). Firmly secure the hose by tightening the relative ring nut with your hands (ref. B fi g. 5-05); fi nish by tightening another ¼ turn using a pair of plumbing pliers. For models fi tted with ACQUAS- TOP (ref. C fi g. 5-05) the fi lter is already present in the threaded ring nut. The dishwasher can be fi lled with water at a temperature of less than 60°C (140°F). If the appliance is fi lled with hot water, washing times will be reduced by about 20 minutes, but effi ciency will be slightly impaired. Make the connection to the domestic hot water tap using the same methods described for connecting the appliance to the cold water tap.

• Recommended temperature: 49°C (120°F), max. 60°C (140°F).
• Recommended water pressure: 0.5 – 9 bar (7 -130 PSI). If the pressure is too high, fi t a pressure reducer.

A rubber hose connected to a sink spray may burst if installed on the same pipes feeding the dishwasher. If your sink is fi tted with this accessory, remove the hose and plug the hole.

Do not cut the inlet hose (see fi g. 5-06). If the hose is cut, the dishwasher will not work, water will leak and you may be injured. If the hose is too long, wind it up tidily and place it behind the appliance. The cable harness and electrical components must not come into contact with the hydraulic system and the water inlet and drain hoses.

When connecting the dishwasher drain hose to the sink make sure that the hose is not bent (ref. A fi g. 5-07) in order to prevent cracks or breakages that could damage it.

Connecting the drain hose Connecting to a drain
Insert the relative hose into a drain with a minimum diameter of 4 cm (1-37/64”) (ref. A fi g. 5-08); alternatively, place the hose on the sink (ref. B fi g. 5-08) using the supplied hose support (see fi g. 5-9), but taking care to avoid obstructions or excessive curving. Make sure the hose cannot fall out. For this purpose, the hose support is fi tted with a hole (ref. A fi g. 5-9) which can be used to fi x it to the wall or the tap with a piece of string. The free end must lie at a height ranging from of 30 to 100 cm (from of 1-7/32” to 3-59/64”) (see fi g. 5-08) and must never be immerged in water. If horizontal extension hoses with a maximum length of 3m are used, position the drain hose at a maximum height of 85 cm (3-11/32”) above the fl oor .

Commissioning

Installation procedure
Clean the underneath of the worktop lying over the dishwasher door (see fi g. 5-14) and apply the steam guard, as shown in fi g. 5-15 (see fi g. 5-15 if the adhesive guard is applied; see fi g. 5-16 if the steel guard is applied). This guard protects the worktop from steam and condensation when the door of the dishwasher is opened at the end of the washing cycle.

Push the dishwasher into position, taking care not to twist or crush the power cord or hoses (see fi g. 5-17).

• TWO PEOPLE WEARING SAFETY GLOVES ARE NEEDED TO PUSH THE DISHWASHER INTO PLACE.

Procedure for mounting the door panel (DWTPC10FI)
Mount the door panel. Place the template on the inner surface of the panel, centering it along the up-per side and matching up the reference locators (ref. A fi g. 5-18); mark the position of the door hooks with a pencil (see fi g. 5-18). Remove the template and use a drill with a suitable bit to make holes at the points marked on the panel.

• Use the screwdriver to secure the door hooks with the 8 supplied screws (see fi g. 5-19) at the marked reference points.
• Drill holes for the panel handle using a drill with a suitable bit. Use the screw-driver to secure the door handle before hooking the panel to the dishwasher (see fi g. 5-20). N.B.: the screws are not supplied.
• Attach the door panel: fi t the hooks into their slots on the dishwasher and allow the panel to slide downwards and slip in to place (see fi g. 5-21).
• Secure the door to the panel with the supplied screws. The panel must have a minimum thickness of 20 mm (25/32”) (see fi g. 5-22).

DWTPC10FI-DWTPC5FC
Make sure the dishwasher door, complete with panel, opens comfortably and that the base plate (ref. A fi g. 5-23) does not prevent it from opening fully. If the base plate prevents the door from opening, mark out the section to remove (see fi g. 5-23), take out the base plate and cut it along the marking using a compass saw (see fi g. 5-24).

Completion of installation (DWTPC10FI-DWTPC5FC)
Finish the cut with a fi le (see fi g. 5-25) in order to remove any burrs and/or imperfections. Put back the base plate (see fi g. 5-26) and try to open the dishwasher door fully; if the base plate still obstructs the door, repeat the above operations.

• Before securing the dishwasher to the adjacent units, attach the gaskets to the sides. Remove the adhesive band on the gasket (see fi g. 5-27).
• Fix the gasket to the dishwasher, inserting it in the seat on the sides towards the front (see fi g. 5-28), and making sure that the long side of the gasket, the one with the hole for inserting the screw, is attached to the outside of the dishwasher; the hole in the long side must match the hole in the dishwasher (see ref. A fi g. 5-29). Make sure the gasket adheres perfectly to the dishwasher.
• Fig. 5-30 shows the state of the dishwasher after the above operations are performed.
• Tighten the supplied screws with a screwdriver; this operation defi nitively fi xes the dishwasher to the adjacent units; cover the side holes using the supplied plugs (ref. A fi g. 5-31).
