INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ! Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance. Installation Daily use ■ Make sure that the plug fitted to the machine is compatible with the power supply socket.
Water connection ■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y). Connecting the outlet hose IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused. 1 ■ The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).
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. 6a). IMPORTANT After removing the work top, the screws MUST BE screwed again under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6b).
LOADING THE SALT IMPORTANT (Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows. ■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener. ■ It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher.
■ Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also be loaded on the upper basket. It is advisable to block these in place so that the jets of water do not make them overturn. LOADING DISHES Using the upper basket A standard daily load is represented in figs. 1, 2 and 3. 1 A ■ The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be loaded with up to 24 plates on two rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a mixed load.
