• CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY 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. 0.1- 1 MPa 1-10 bar 10L/min 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) A .

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

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.

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 A . Do not re-use any previously used hoses for making the connection. NB: Any connection to a water conduit necessarily involves the risk of a leak occurring, whatever the precautions taken. Therefore, always close the water tap when you are not using your machine. Avoid any kinks or constrictions in the hose, which could prevent the water from passing or slow down its flow, particularly when building in the appliance under the worktop B . 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 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. 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 P10 . For appliances installed in vertical units, the drainage system must not rise higher than the top of the appliance. Important: 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. When fitting the hose, pull on it gradually so as not to kink it. B . Avoid any kinks or constrictions in the hose, which could prevent the water from passing or slow down its flow. Make sure that you adhere to the maximum dimensions for the fitting of the drainage tube in the siphon pipe 65°C max 1-10 bars > 1l/min 15 cm maxi 90 cm maxi 5 cm mini 20 cm mini

• ELECTRICAL CONNECTION We cannot be held responsible in the event of an accident or an incident caused by the lack of or by a defective Earthing system. The appliance must be at a standstill when connecting to the electricity supply circuit. Before connecting your appliance, ensure that: - The mains voltage indicated on the manufacturer’s plate on your machine matches the voltage supplied by your installation. - Your meter and the fuses can support the current intensity for your dishwasher. A fuse of at least 10A is required. Your dishwasher complies with European Directives 73/23/EEC (Low Voltage Directive) and 89/336/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) as modified by Directive 93/68/EEC.

• Replacing the power cable If you must connect your appliance to a different voltage from that indicated on your machine, connect an appropriate transformer.

For your safety’s sake, this operation must only be performed by the manufacturer’s After-Sales Department or by someone with similar qualifications in order to avoid any risks. NB: Use the services of a qualified electrician to make the modifications and ensure that your electrical installation complies with the regulations.

• Appliances delivered without a plug

This appliance must necessarily be connected directly to an earthed plug and socket. In all cases, it must be connected in accordance with the prevailing regulations in the country concerned and any additional regulations from the local electricity utility. The wires in your appliance’s power cable are coloured as follows: - Green & Yellow Earth - Blue Neutral - Brown Live

If the cable’s colours do not match your plug, proceed as follows: The plug and socket must be accessible even after your appliance has been installed. The appliance must not be connected via an extension lead, a multiple socket or an electric time delay programmer C . The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the connector in your plug marked with the letter E, the symbol or coloured green and yellow. The blue-coloured wire must be connected to the connector marked with the letter N or coloured black. The brown-coloured wire must be connected to the connector marked with the letter L or coloured red.

• Glue on the anti-condensation plate

• Glue on the foam sound-proofing seal

under the feet to make the dishwasher easier to slide (Fig. 3.1). Fig. 3.1 If the worktop is in marble or a similar material, you must fix your dishwasher using the side screws; before inserting it into the niche, you must therefore unfold a flange on each side of the side panels (Fig. 3.2).

• Remove the hose brackets (Fig. 3.3)

• Slide the appliance into the Fig. 3.2 niche,

• LEVELLING BY ADJUSTING THE FEET The front feet are adjustable. Use the wrench provided to adjust them, if necessary. The central foot can be adjusted using the red wheel (screwdriver with No. 8 plug, No. 8 pipe wrench or T20 Torx screwdriver). The appliance must be correctly levelled so that the door closes and seals perfectly (Fig. 4). Ensure that the dishwasher’s door closes correctly, without catching or rubbing against the sides.

• APPLIANCES BUILT-IN UNDER A HOB

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

• FITTING THE SPACERS - Measure the dimension X between the base of the control panel and the top of the door on the adjacent unit (Fig. 5.1). See the table below (Fig. 5.2) to establish the numbers for the spacers to be clipped onto the control panel. Fig. 5.1 Fig. 5.2 - Clip the assembled spacers P4 onto the appliance’s control panel (Fig. 5.3). Important: The height of the door panel plus dimension X must not exceed 620mm to enable the door to open. NB: If the overall height of the assembled spacers is unsuitable, you can unclip them and re-adjust them.

• FITTING THE DOOR PANEL - Measure the distance between the floor and the bottom of the door panel on the adjacent unit (Dimension B, on Fig. 6.1). - Measure the distance between the floor and the marking on the bottom of the door panel (Dimension A). - Calculate Dimension D = A - B, and draw a line for Dimension D on the back of the panel at the bottom (Fig. 6.2). Fig. 6.1 - Set the positions for the two screws at 262mm from the wood panel’s axis and insert both screws P7 (Fig. 6.2).

- Position your door panel by engaging the 2 screws in the holes in the dishwasher’s door (Fig. 6.3). - Place the wood panel on the door, slightly compressing the spacers if necessary (Fig. 6.3).

Fig. 6.2 - Open the dishwasher’s door while holding the panel firmly against the door. Centre the wood panel laterally with respect to the control panel, if necessary. Insert the 2 screws P8 (Fig. 6.4). - If there is a problem with screwing, offset the screw P7 by 22mm. - If necessary, add two additional screws P8 , by replacing the 2 internal screws on the inside of the door (stainless steel screws) (see the dotted arrows). Fig. 6.3

If the wood panel is very hard, ensure that you make a hole in advance before screwing the panel on. NB: If your appliance is supplied with a sound insulation sheet, glue this on before installing the door panel. Fig. 6.4

• FIXING IN THE NICHE Fasten the dishwasher under the worktop with the screws P9 (see Fig. 7) or using the flanges you have unfolded (Fig. 3.2).

The screw provided is intended for a panel at least 16mm thick. If the panel is less than 16mm thick, change the screw or shorten it. Fig. 7

• SOUND-PROOFING SEALS To improve the built-in appliance’s soundproofing, fit the sound-proofing seals (depending on the model). ( P6 P11 on Fig. 8) If the recess is bigger, stick on seal P6 using the adhesives provided. If the appliance is laterally secured, a cut must be made in the seals' P6 heels to allow the retaining brackets to be passed through (nipper). Fig. 8

• BALANCING THE DOOR (LEFT AND RIGHT) Adjust the tension on the springs, if necessary, to compensate for the weight of the cladding panel. Adjust them identically on the right and the left (Fig. 9). The door is correctly balanced when it dopes not fall heavily on opening and it remains horizontal in the open position. Fig. 9

• REFITTING THE PLINTH Refit the plinth, cutting it away if necessary according to Dimension P (see table and Fig. 10.1)

To calculate Dimension P (see table Fig. 11): - 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) between 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 600mm to the depth for the value for P.

Fig. 10.1 If there will be a specific plinth for the dishwasher, you must obtain a separate fixing kit (32X3252) from the After-Sales Department. In this case, the plinth height is H = B - P (Fig. 10.2). Fig. 10.2
