the operation of the appliance.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales:
• German degrees (dH°).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the
hardness of water).
• Clarke.
Adjust the water softener to the water hardness in your
area. If necessary, contact your local water authority.

Installation
The dishwasher has adjustable feet to allow the adjust-
ment of the height.
Make sure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and
the supply cable are not kinked or squashed, when you
insert the machine.
Warning! Make sure that mains plug is
disconnected from the mains socket during
installation.
Important! Obey the instructions in the enclosed template
to:
• Build-in the appliance.
• Install the furniture panel.
• Connect to the water supply and drain.
Attaching the appliance to the adjacent units
Make sure that the counter below which you attach the
appliance is a safe structure (adjacent kitchen units, cab-
inets, wall).
Install the appliance under a counter (kitchen worktop or
sink).
If a repair is necessary, the appliance must be easily ac-
cessible for the engineer.
Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap and a drain.
For the venting of the dishwasher only water fill, water
drain and power supply cable openings are necessary.
Adjusting the level of the appliance
Make sure that the appliance is level to close and seal the
door correctly. If the level of the appliance is correct, the
door does not catch on the sides of the cabinet. If the door
does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable
feet until the appliance is level.
Water connection
Water inlet hose
Connected the appliance to a hot (max. 60°) or cold water
supply.
Caution! Do not connect the appliance to new pipes
or pipes that are not used for a long time. Let the
water run for some minutes, then connect the inlet hose.
If the hot water comes from alternative sources of energy
that are more environmentally friendly (e.g. solar or pho-
tovoltaic panels and aeolian), use a hot water supply to
decrease energy consumption.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external
thread of 3/4”.
Drain hose
max 85 cm
min 40 cm
Caution! Do not use connection hoses from an old
appliance.
The water pressure must be in the limits (refer to the
chapter 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local water
authority gives you the average mains pressure in your
area.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the water inlet hose
and that the water inlet hose is not squashed or entangled.
Turn the inlet hose to the left or the right to suit the in-
stallation. Fit the locknut correctly to prevent water leaks.
