Smeg STA4648D [15/28] Installation and hook up

Installation instructions

2. Installation and hook-up

Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.

Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may

be placed up against walls or other furniture units.

If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent

overheating and malfunction of the appliance.

To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops,

and screw them to the adjacent units.

To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any

direction; make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. A hole at least

8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass.

Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring

correct operation of the dishwasher.

For free-standing models only:

if the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one

side, the door hinge area must be covered for safety reasons (injury hazard).

The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from specialist dealers or the After-Sales

Service.

Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which can be adjusted by

turning the screw on the lower front part of the appliance.

2.1 Water supply connection

Preventing the risk of clogging or damage:

if the water pipe is new or has not been used for a

long time, before connecting to the water supply check that the water is clear and free of impurities,

to prevent damage to the appliance.

The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system with new hoses; old or used

hoses must never be reused.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY

Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas thread, inserting the filter

supplied

with the dishwasher.

Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your hands and then complete by

tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers. In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP

device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring.
