A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided there is no break in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob are installed and secured correctly, so that no hazards are generated. For free-standing models only - Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely forbidden. - 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. - To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from authorised 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. Installation instructions 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 " gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60dF 24-31dH). SALT When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1. 7 Kg of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. 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. [. . . ] After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly. User instructions CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards; push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the micro-filter: separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows; remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards. GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE: The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush.
