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 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 plugless supply cord, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed in an easily accessible position on the supply line.
• Page 5: Warnings 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. If the dishwasher fails to operate correctly, disconnect it from the electrical power supply and call the nearest technical service centre. The dishwasher should only be used by adults. Use by children aged from eight years and persons with reduced physical, sensor or mental capabilities is only permitted under supervision. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Always check that the detergent distributor is empty after completion of the wash cycle. Cleaning and regular maintenance of the appliance by children is only permitted under supervision. Some detergents are strongly alkaline. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
• Page 6: Warnings Observe all the safety instructions on the packaging of these products. Do not drink the water residues which may be present on the dishes or appliance at the end of the washing program. Never place solvents such as alcohol or turpentine, which are potentially explosive, inside the appliance. Never load dishes soiled with ash, wax or paint. Never leave the dishwasher door open; people might trip over it. Switch off the dishwasher after use to avoid wasting electricity. Knives and other kitchen equipment with sharp edges must be placed in the basket with their tips downwards. The appliance satisfies all applicable safety regulations governing electrical equipment. Any technical checks should be conducted exclusively by trained and authorised technicians. In the event of a fault, disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical power supply and shut off the water tap.
• Page 7: Warnings Some components are live even with the on/off button in the off position. Before performing any maintenance work on the appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply. Do not clean the machine with a water jet machine, high-pressure or steam cleaners. Models with “acquastop” device prevent 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.
• Page 8: Warnings The appliance complies with the essential requirements of the following European directives: 2009/125/EC, 2011/65/EU, 2014/35/EU, IEC/EN 62471, risk group 1, for models with internal lighting, and IEC/EN 61770. This appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste (directives 2012/19/EC).

• Page 10: Installation 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.
• Page 11: Installation guidelines for dishwashers are critical. Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden. Dishwashers must not be installed directly touching non-conventional built-in kitchen appliances. It is essential to comply with the manufacturer's recommendations when installing next to other appliances. For free-standing models, installing a hob on top of a dishwasher is absolutely forbidden. The door hinge area must be covered for safety reasons if the appliance is accessible from one side. Covers for the door hinge area are available as accessories through the Technical Assistance Service. The top surface of dishwashers can be removed for installation under a worktop. An appropriate kit for installation should be purchased from authorized dealers or the Technical Assistance Service. Installation must be carried out by authorized personnel.
• Page 12: Installation Water supply connection Connecting to the water supply Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas thread, inserting the filter supplied with the dishwasher. In dishwashers equipped with the AQUASTOP device, the filter 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 by 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. Before connecting the product to the water supply, make sure that the water system has been fitted with a safety device to protect drinking water against contamination due to backflow.
• Page 13: Installation 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. Take care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. 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.
• Page 14: Installation 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.
