Installation instructions

2. Installation and hook-up

Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.

Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or

sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other

furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the

special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the

appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under

dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the

adjacent units. 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. Make sure to tighten the

locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction

required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power

supply cable and pipes to pass. Before putting the dishwasher into its

definitive position, turn on the water tap and check that there are no

leaks from the tap connection, the dishwasher connection or the hose.

Level the appliance on the floor using its 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.

Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden.

Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching

appliances which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g.

fireplaces, stoves, etc.).

When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more

other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations

provided by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation

procedures, etc.).

For free-standing models only:

- Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely

forbidden.

- If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one side, the

door hinge area must be covered for safety

reasons (injury hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an

accessory from specialist dealers or the After-Sales

Service.

- To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from

authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.
