-  Carefully dispose of the packing material.

-  After removing the packing, check that the appliance is not

   damaged. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.

-  The dishwasher must only be used by adults for the washing

   of household dishes and cooking utensils.

-  Fundamental rules to follow when using the appliance:

   * Never touch the dishwasher when barefoot or with wet hands

      or feet;

    * We discourage the use of extension cords and multiple sockets;

   * During installation, the power supply cord must not be

      excessively or dangerously bent or flattened;

    * If the appliance is not operating properly or maintenance must

      be performed, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

-  Keep detergents out of the reach of children, who must also be

    kept away from the dishwasher when it is open.

-  This appliance cannot be installed outdoors, not even if the

   area in which it is installed is covered by a roof; it is also very

   dangerous to leave it exposed to the rain and elements.

-  Do not touch the heating element during or after a wash cycle.

-  Do not lean or sit on the door when it is open, as this could

   overturn the dishwasher.

-  If the appliance malfunctions, turn off the water supply to the

   appliance and disconnect the plug from the wall socket. Then,

   consult the section entitled, "Troubleshooting". If you cannot

   solve the problem, contact a service centre.

-  Only specialised personnel are authorised to make repairs.

-  Appliances which are no longer being used must be made

    inoperable by cutting the power supply cord and removing the

    door lock.

-  The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

-  The carpet must not obstruct the opening when the appliance is

   installed on a carpeted floor.

-  If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special

   cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or service

   agent.

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should

rest against the wall, and the sides along the adjacent cabinets

or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain

hoses that can be positioned to the right or left to facilitate proper

installation.

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them

in or out) of the dishwasher until it is level. In any case, the appli-

ance should not be inclined more than 2

°

. If the appliance is level,

it will help ensure proper performance.

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connec-

tor and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.1).

If the water pipes are new or have not been used for a prolonged

period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is

clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is

a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the

appliance.

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the

house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as

long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60

°

C.

In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15

minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.

The connection must be made to the hot water line following the

same procedures as for the connection to the cold water line.

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter

of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending

or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with

the appliance (see fig .2). The free end of the hose must be at a

height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in

water.

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the

current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate

(located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and

that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on

the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is

earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety re-

quirement mandated by law).

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected

is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug rather than using

adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
