Regulating the water softener
The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting
for the softener unit.
Closing the door
Place the baskets in the machine.
Make sure that both the spray arms are free to rotate and are not obstructed by
cutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door, pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.
Water softener unit
Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special
regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The softener unit
can treat water with a hardness of up to 60°fH (French grading) or 33°dH (German
grading) through five different settings.
The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply
company.

- *The water softener unit is set in the factory
at level 2, as this is suitable for the majority
of users.
If your water is at level 0, you need not use
any regenerating salt, nor need you make
any adjustment, as your water is soft.
According to the degree of hardness of
your water, regulate the softener unit in the
following way:
- remove the lower rack. Unscrew and remove
the cap from the salt dispenser located in
the bottom of the tub (Fig. A “1”);
- Turn the selector screw to the required
position with a screwdriver or a knife.
N.B.: For models fitted with electronic programmer refer to the programme list
enclosed.

Installation in fitted kitchens
Fitting between existing cabinets
The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has been designed in order to allow the machine
to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens.
The feet can be adjusted so that correct height is reached.
The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is
heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof (fig. 5).
The work top can be easily adjusted to line it with the top of existing cabinets; this is
done by moving it by 5 mm each time up to a maximum of 25 mm.
To adjust it, unscrew the two screws at the back and fix the top in the position
required (fig. 6).
Underneath existing work top (when fitting beneath a work top)
In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets
and electrical appliances are fitted.
In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under
the rear edge of the top (fig. 6).
The height will then be reduced to 82 cm, as scheduled by the International
Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top
(fig. 7).
Fitting panels (some models only)
The frames around the door, allow decorative panels to be fitted, up to 5 mm thick,
and with the following dimensions:
width 591 mm ± 1 height 597 mm ± 1
Opening the door
Put your hand into the recess and push upwards.
If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety device
automatically switches everything off.
For the machine to work properly, the door should not be opened while it is in
operation.
