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).

6.1. LOWER BASKET (Fig. 6.1)
Arrange your dishes so that the water can flow freely
and can spray everything. Do not intersperse, jam to-
gether or superimpose flat plates and concave dishes
Place large plates and pans at the sides.
The folding spikes make it easier to arrange large dis-
hes (Fig 6.1.1) (depending on the model)
When you insert the lower basket, ensure that no-
thing catches on the upper basket’s gauge wire (F)
(Fig. 4.1) (depending on the model) to avoid bloc-
king the spray arm. Make sure it rotates freely
6.2 UPPER BASKET
This basket is usually used for glasses, small bowls,
bowls, sauce boats, etc. Place them facing down-
wards.
Arrange your dishes methodically to save on space
(cups, mugs, bowls, etc.)
You can place the mugs on the folding spikes (Fig.
6.2.1) (depending on the model)
Adjusting the height of the upper basket (Fig.
6.2.2) (depending on the model)
Gently raise your basket on each side until it engages.
Lift it slightly to lower it. It can be adjusted when it is
loaded.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the basket is
completely horizontal while it is being adjusted.
6.3 CUTLERY TRAY
Your dishwasher has 2 cutlery trays (Fig. 6.3.1).
Place the items of cutlery separately between the spa-
cers.
Tip: Place the cutlery correctly for optimum
washing and drying (Fig. 6.3.2).
Do not place the items too close together, in the
wrong places, etc. (Fig. 6.3.3).
Place any large-sized cutlery in the upper basket.
Removing a tray
For some tall items such as wine glasses to fit in the
dishwasher (Fig 6.3.4), one of the trays may need to
be removed. With the tray you wish to remove totally
pulled out, push it approximately 3 cm. Take hold of
the tray with one hand and remove the hooks from the
runner, turning the lower rod outwards (Fig. 6.3.5).
Then repeat the process for the other runner.
To conceal the runners, turn them in the opposite di-
rection until you hear a click (Fig. 6.3.6) and then in-
sert them.
Replacing the trays
Place the runners in vertical position and pull them
out. Place the hooks on one side first, and then the
hooks on the other side.
IMPORTANT: Place the knives and other
sharp items in the upper basket with the blades fa-
cing downwards.
