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 degree of hardness of your water can
be obtained from your water supply
company.
Regulating the water softener
with electronic programmer
The water softener can treat water with a
hardness level of up to 90°fH (French
grading) or 50°dH (German grading)
through 8 settings.
The settings are listed in the table below.

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).
Opening the door
Put your hand into the recess and pull.
If the machine comes open while it is working,
an electrical safety device automatically
switches everything off.
IMPORTANT
For the machine to work properly,
the door should not be opened while
it is in operation.
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.
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).
