Important: Please read this installations manual carefully in order to comply with the instruc- tions for installing and fitting your machine. NB: This installations manual covers various models. There may be some slight diffe- rences between your appliance and the descriptions shown.

• IMPORTANT WARNINGS Important: After unpacking your appliance, make sure that it has not suffered any damage during transport. Never connect up a damaged appliance. If your appliance is damaged, please contact your dealer.

If your appliance operates incorrectly, disconnect it (pull out the plug) or switch off the circuit concerned and close the water supply tap. Contact our After-Sales Service. Important: All the necessary electrical and plumbing work for installing the appliance must respec- tively be carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber. — Once you have installed your appliance, ensure that it is not resting on the power cable or the water supply or drain hoses. — The appliance must be kept disconnected from the mains supply throughout the whole instal- lation process. — Check that your appliance’s Earth circuit complies with the prevailing regulations. — The electrical connection details on the manufacturer’s plate on your machine must match those for the mains power supply. Important: For safety’s sake, do not leave your dishwasher’s door fully open after use. If your dishwasher is being installed on a carpeted floor, ensure that the feet are set to leave an air space under the appliance.16 BAA0,1 - 1 MPaAB10L/min

• CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY

The symbol indicates that the hose is fitted with an electrical device for cutting off the water supply (depending on the model). Do not leave this hose in water and do not cut it. NB: Any connection to a water conduit necessarily involves the risk of a leak occur- ring, whatever the precautions taken. Therefore, always close the water tap when you are not using your machine. This dishwasher can be supplied with cold water or hot water up to a maximum of 60°C. When supplying with hot water, check that your original hose allows such connection (red marking on the hose). However, we recommend that you connect to the cold water supply. Your appliance is fitted with a supply hose 1.50m long. Connect the hose to a tap with a threaded end, diameter 20/27 (3/4" BSP). Check that the water pressure does not exceed the values below: Flow rate: 10 L/min (1 L/min minimum) Pressure: 1 to 10 bars (0.1 - 1 MPa)

If the water pressure is too high, please fit a pressure regulator. Please contact your local Water Authority for advice on the water pres- sure in your region.

If you use a self-piercing tap, check that there is sufficient water flow. Check that the hose seal is present and that the connection is tight . Do not re-use any previously used hoses for making the connection. Avoid any kinks or constrictions in the hose, which could prevent the water from passing or slow down its flow, particularly when buil- ding in the appliance under the worktop . If the appliance is connected to new pipes or pipes that have not been used for a certain length of time, let the water run for a few minutes before connecting the water hose to avoid and deposits of sand or rust that could block the water hose’s filter.

• DRAINING AWAY THE WASTE WATER: FIG. 2 You can connect the end of the drain hose to: - A ventilated U-bend or - A sink U-bend When connecting to a U-bend, you must remove the flapper from the U-bend. Then fully install the rubber end. If necessary, add a tightening collar

NB: Ensure that the drain hose is held in place with a tie to avoid any potential flooding. The drain connection must be 0.40m (minimum) to 0.90m (maximum) above the floor. Make sure that you adhere to the maximum dimensions for the fitting of the drainage tube in the siphon pipe P10 If necessary, you can increase the hose’s length (up to 3m maximum). In this case, check that the appliance drains correctly. The hose must rest on the floor and only rise vertically close to the drainage system. For appliances installed in vertical units, the drainage system must not rise higher than the top of the appliance. Important: When fitting the hose, pull on it gra- dually so as not to kink it.

Avoid any kinks or constrictions in the hose, which could prevent the water from passing or slow down its flow.

SOUND-PROOFING SEALS To improve the built-in appliance’s sound-proofing, fit the sound-proofing seals (depen-ding on the model). ( on Fig. 8)If the recess is bigger, stick on seal usingthe adhesives provided.If the appliance is laterally secured, a cut mustbe made in the seals' heels to allow theretaining brackets to be passed through (nip-per).

If your worktop has a hob fitted above your dishwasher, you must fit thermal insulationon top of your dishwasher. You can obtain an insulation kit from your dealer. Remember toleave a space between the gas pipe and the top of your dishwasher.

• APPLIANCES BUILT-IN UNDER A HOB

• FIXING IN THE NICHE Fasten the dishwasher under the worktopwith the screws (see Fig. 7) or using theflanges you have unfolded (Fig. 3.2).

• BALANCING THE DOOR (LEFT AND RIGHT) Adjust the tension on the springs, if neces-sary, to compensate for the weight of the clad-ding panel. Adjust them identically on the rightand the left (Fig. 9).The door is correctly balanced when it dopesnot fall heavily on opening and it remains hori-zontal in the open position. Fig. 7 Fig. 824

• REFITTING THE PLINTH Refit the plinth, cutting it away if necessaryaccording to Dimension P (see table and Fig.10.1)Calculate dimension P (Table on last page): - Take Dimension B from Fig. 6.1 and measure the gap J between the floor and the bottom of the dishwasher. Calculate B - J.- Measure the plinth depth E (Fig. 10.1) bet-ween the unit’s plinth and front of the unit. Take the value for P from the table provided by E and B – J (e.g. if E = 100 and B – J = 140, then P = 23).- Cut away the plinth across a width of 600mmto the depth for the value for P.If there will be a specific plinth for the dis-hwasher, you must obtain a separate fixingkit (32X3252) from the After-SalesDepartment. In this case, the plinth height isH = B - P (Fig. 10.2).Cut-away depth
