Installation Cup racks: position A Arrangement lower basket Arrangement cutlery basket Installation instructions Installation WARNING! Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person. Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
Water connection 25 Fitting under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink) By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture. Proceed as follows: 1. Remove the machine's worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the machine and slide out the front slots, lifting the worktop. 2.
Water connection With a hot water supply you can have a significant reduction of energy consumption. This however, depends on how the hot water is produced. (We suggest alternative sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and aeolian). For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.
Water connection 27 WARNING! Warning! Dangerous voltage. Water outlet hose connection The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: 1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine. 2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm. The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
Electrical connection To avoid water leakage after installation make sure that the water couplings are tight. Electrical connection WARNING! Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket.
