Worktop for built-under models
The appliance must only be installed beneath a continuous fitted kitchen worktop.
If the appliance will be built under it is mandatory to use the cover panel UBS. This can be obtained
from specialist shops or from After-Sales Service.
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. Unscrew the worktop fixing screws from the rear of the appliance.
3. Slide the worktop fully backward and lift it upwards to remove. Install the cover panel following the
relative instructions.
4. Refit the fixing screws and tighten them.
5. Plug the appliance only into the mains power socket.
Connect the water inlet hose
For models with straight hose
1. Insert the dirt strainer (already premounted on the hose end or included in the accessories) into the
threaded tap coupling.
2. Carefully screw the hose connection onto the tap preferably by hand.
3. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.
4. Check water-tightness of tap and appliance connections by turning the tap completely on.
If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure resistant hose (1000 kPa min, EN 50084
approved type).
Periodically check the hose for brittleness and cracks and replace if necessary.
The appliance can be connected without an anti-backpressure valve.
For models with Water Stop hose
If the flexible hose is damaged, unplug the appliance from the mains immediately.
1. Screw the threaded connector with the filter inserted onto the tap.
2. Check water-tightness of tap and appliance connections by turning the tap completely on.
If the hose is too short, replace it with a 3 m Water Stop hose (available from After-Sales Service or from
your dealer). This operation must be carried out exclusively by a licensed electrician.
The appliance must not be connected to the mixing tap of a non-pressurized water heater.
The inlet hose and the plastic enclosure at the tap connection contain electrical components. Do not cut
the hose and do not immerse the plastic enclosure in water.
Connect the water drain hose
1. Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a sink by means of the "U" bend.
2. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.
3. Secure the hose so that it cannot fall down while the appliance is running.
The drain hose should not be hooked onto small washbasins.
If you need to add an extension, use a flexible hose of the same type and secure the union with screw-
on hose clips.
Max. drain hose length: 2.50 m
Max. drain height: 1.25 m
