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. Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction required. 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. Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely forbidden. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening. · · When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container. Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated. Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely. · User instructions · · Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
