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.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is
essential for the ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic hob is absolutely forbidden.
A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided there is
no break in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob are installed
and secured correctly, so that no hazards are generated.
WARNING!
Some protective systems preventing access to the door opening and closing
mechanisms are not active until the appliance has been installed.
If the appliance is not built into a cabinet, or is built into a cabinet but without
one or both front panels, some mechanical parts which may cause serious
injury when the door is opened and closed are accessible.
In all cases, never insert your hands into openings at the side of the bottom
panel while the door is being opened or closed.
Never open the door of the appliance with the bottom drawer partially or
completely open - If the bottom of the cabinet in which the appliance is
built-in contains a drawer, make sure that it is completely closed before
opening the dishwasher door. Opening the door with the bottom drawer
partially or completely open may damage the bottom panel fixing devices.
