dishes in accordance with the instructions in this
manual. The water in the appliance is not potable.
Use only detergent and rinse additives designed
for an automatic dishwasher. When adding a water
softener (salt), run one cycle immediately with the
EN
machine empty, to avoid corrosion damage to
internal parts. Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt
out of reach of children. Shut off the water supply
and unplug or disconnect the power before servicing
and maintenance. Disconnect the appliance in the
event of any malfunction.
INSTALLATION
The appliance must be handled and installed by
two or more persons - risk of injury. Use protective
gloves to unpack and install - risk of cuts. Connect
the dishwasher to the water mains using only new
hose sets. The old hose sets should not be reused.
All hoses must be securely clamped to prevent them
coming loose during operation. All local waterboard
regulations must be complied with. Water supply
pressure 0.05 - 1.0 MPa. The appliance must be
placed against the wall or built into furniture to limit
the access to its rearside. For dishwashers having
ventilation openings in the base, the openings must
not be obstructed by a carpet.
Installation, including water supply (if any) and
electrical connections, and repairs must be carried
out by a qualied technician. Do not repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless specically stated
in the user manual. Keep children away from the
installation site. After unpacking the appliance, make
sure that it has not been damaged during transport.
In the event of problems, contact the dealer or
your nearest After-sales Service. Once installed,
packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam parts etc.) must
be stored out of reach of children - risk of suffocation.
The appliance must be disconnected from the power
supply before any installation operation - risk of
electrical shock. During installation, make sure the
appliance does not damage the power cable - risk of
re or electrical shock. Only activate the appliance
when the installation has been completed.
If installing the dishwasher at the end of a row of
units making the side panel accessible, the hinge
area must be covered to avoid risk of injury. The
inlet water temperature depends on the dishwasher
model. If the installed inlet hose is marked „25°C
Max”, the maximum allowed water temperature is
25°C. For all other models the maximum allowed
water temperature is 60°C. Do not cut hoses and, in
the case of appliances tted with a waterstop system,
do not immerse the plastic casing containing the inlet
hose in water. If hoses are not long enough, contact
your local dealer. Make sure the inlet and drain hoses
are kink-free and are not crushed. Before using the
appliance for the rst time, check the water inlet and
drain hose for leaks. Make sure that the four feet are
stable and resting on the oor, adjusting them as
required, and check that the dishwasher is perfectly
levelled using a spirit level.
