IMPORTANT: Please read the installation guide before using your appliance.

Read this manual carefully to learn how the appliance works and how to keep it

in good condition.

1.1 INSTALLATION

• The appliance must be kept disconnected from the mains supply throughout

the whole installation process. Once it is installed, the plug and socket must be

accessible. Disconnect your appliance before any technical interventions.

• Do not use an extension lead or adaptor plug to connect your dishwasher.

• The electrical installation must be suitably dimensioned for the maximum power

indicated on the manufacturer’s plate on your machine and the appliance's Earth

circuit must comply with the prevailing regulations.

• The pressure of the water mains must be between 0.1 and 1 MPa (1-10 bar)

(Fig.3.5)

• Keep the packaging out of the reach of children (plastic bags, etc.) as it may be

hazardous (e.g. risk of suffocation).

• You can insert your appliance under an existing worktop provided that the rele-

vant niche corresponds to the dimensions in the figure (Fig.3.1)

• After unpacking your appliance, make sure that it has not suffered any damage

during transport. If your appliance is damaged, do not plug it in and contact your

supplier.

• After installing your appliance, make sure that it is not resting on the power cable

or the water supply or drain hoses.

2 / ENVIRONMENT

SAVING ENERGY

Dose your detergent according to the degree of dirt and

the dishwasher load, and do not exceed the dose re-

commended by the detergent manufacturer.

Remove remains of food from the dishes (stones,

seeds, etc.)

Do not pre-wash the dishes by hand.

Choose a programme that adapts to your dishes and

the degree of dirt.

Use up all the space in the dishwasher. The wash will

be economical and ecological.

Make sure that the appliance is set with the correct va-

lues. Section 5.

Once the programme has finished, switch the dishwas-

her off.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

This dishwasher has been designed to be eco-

friendly.

The packaging materials are recyclable.

Help protect the environment by disposing of them in

the local bins designed for that purpose. Your dishwas-

her also contains many recyclable materials,

and is marked with the logo to remind you

that discarded appliances should not be

mixed with other waste.

The appliance should be recycled in accor-

dance with Directive 2002/96/EC on discar-

ded electrical and electronic equipment. Please get in

contact with your local council or dealer to find out about

your nearest appliance collection points.

3 / INSTALLATION

FREESTANDING APPLIANCE

The back of the appliance must be installed

against the wall. You can use the top surface as a

work surface.

Tip: Do not place the dishwasher too close to

a source of heat because the top could get dama-

ged

BUILT-IN APPLIANCE

If you are going to install your appliance under the

worktop, take into account the dimensions in the figure

(Fig. 3.1). You can do it with or without a cover.

- If you need to remove the cover because it does not

fit properly, remove the screws and move the cover

backwards, as shown in the diagram (Fig. 3.2).

- Bring the dishwasher closer to the worktop and raise

it by turning the rear feet until there is a 3 mm gap bet-

ween the appliance and the worktop.

- Put the dishwasher into the niche.

- Raise it until it touches the worktop by turning the

front feet with a screwdriver (Fig. 3.3).

- Fix the dishwasher to the worktop with two screws,

using the front plastic tabs (Fig. 3.4) or if the worktop

is made of marble or a similar material, you can fix it

to the side using two brackets which are available

from the after-sales service.

Danger: If there is a ceramic, induction or

gas hob fitted above your dishwasher, thermal in-

sulation must be placed on top of your dishwas-

her. You can obtain it from the after-sales service

or your dealer. Remember to leave a space bet-

ween the gas pipe and your dishwasher.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY

This dishwasher can be supplied with cold or hot

water up to a maximum of 60ºC. When supplying with

hot water, check that your original hose allows such

connection (red marking on the pipe). However, we re-

commend that you connect to the cold water supply.

Connect the hose to a tap with a threaded end, diame-

ter 20/27 (3/4" BSP)

Warning: If you use a self-piercing tap,

check that there is sufficient water flow. Check

that the hose seal is present and that the connec-

tion pressure is correct (Fig. 3.5).

If the appliance is connected to new pipes or pipes

that have not been used for a while, let the water run

for a few minutes before connecting the water hose in

order to avoid deposits of sand or rust that could block

the filter.

Danger: The symbol tells you that the

water hose is connected to the power supply (de-

pending on the model). Do not cut the hose or put

it in water while the appliance is plugged in.

Tip: Always close the water tap when the ap-

pliance will not be used for a long period of time.

DRAINING AWAY THE WASTE WATER

You can connect the end of the drain hose to:

- A ventilated U-bend (Fig.3.6) or to the edge of the

sink (Fig. 3.7) using the plastic elbow that is supplied

with the appliance.

- A sink U-bend (Fig.3.8). Remove the cap and tie the

end of the hose to the U-bend, using a clamp if neces-

sary.

The sink must follow the dimensions in (Fig.3.6). In

order to install it in a column unit, the draining

system must be at least 25 cm from the base of the

dishwasher.

Warning: While the dishwasher is being put

in place, pull on the hoses gradually so as not to

kink them. Avoid any kinks or constrictions.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before connecting the appliance to the mains power

supply, ensure that:

- The mains voltage indicated on the manu-

facturer’s plate (J) on your machine matches the vol-

tage supplied by your installation (Fig. 4.1).

- Your meter and electrical box can support

the current intensity for your dishwasher. A fuse of at

least 16A is required.

If you must connect your appliance to a different vol-

tage from that indicated on your machine, connect an

appropriate transformer.

Warning: This appliance must be connected

to an earthed plug and socket.

In all cases, it must be connected in accordance with

the prevailing regulations in the country concerned

and any additional regulations from the local electricity

company.

Your dishwasher complies with European Directives

2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Directive), 2004/108/EC

(Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive).
