IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE TO THE WATER INTAKE HOSE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND FROM THE WATER SUPPLY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER, PERFORM A QUICK TEST OF THE APPLIANCE FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. IF THE DISHWASHER FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND CALL THE NEAREST TECHNICAL SERVICE CENTRE. THE DISHWASHER MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS SET OUT BY THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE CONCERNING SAFETY AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. ANY TECHNICAL CHECKS SHOULD BE CONDUCTED EXCLUSIVELY BY A TRAINED AND AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN: REPAIRS CARRIED OUT BY UNAUTHORISED PERSONS WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY, AS WELL AS POSING A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO THE USER.

Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: · · · Adjust the water softening system; Add the regenerating salt; Add the rinse aid and detergent. 3. 1 Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. 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 41-60°dF ­ 24-31°dH). 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. [. . . ] At this point it is possible to load larger sized plates into the lower basket. To return to the original position, pull out the upper basket again and press the release lever. User instructions 4. Cleaning and maintenance Before carrying out any work, always disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply. 4. 1 General warnings and recommendations Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents. Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. [. . . ]
