CHAPTER 5: COMPONENTS
The Base:
The base is in plastic and contains all the functional-parts of the dishwasher as well as acting as support for the wash-basin.
Built-in dishwashers are provided with three legs that are for the purpose of levelling out the machine: two are on the fore-front
and one at the back in the middle of the machine which is equipped with an adjustable-nut.
One of the advantages provided by the new type of base is that it facilitates access to the motor-room from the front-door
opening via two locking-hooks.
The small Basin placed under the dishwasher, may be removed by unfastening further two hooks and extracting it towards the
front part of the machine.
NB: Should the hooks that lock the front-door of the base or the basin be damaged, the base has been equipped with
self-rivetting screws, which will seal the components well and so avoid having to replace the entire base.
Adjustable Legs:
Three legs serve to adjust the height of the machine and to level it out horizontally. The front-panels must be adjusted directly by
the leg. The back-leg of the dishwasher may be adjusted by means of a hexagonal screw placed in the middle front part of the
machine, under the connecting Hardware-key hole.
“Synchro-Motorpump”:
Introduced on machines in the low range. Available in two versions: one on LVS for U.K.(that works with 220/240 volts); and the
second for the Italian market and the rest of the world. (tnsion between 220/230 volts).
Muff or Junction
On low-range machines, the alternate-washing motor has not been envisaged, but simply a water-distributer which supplies the
water to both syphons simultaneously.
Water Heater:
The water-heater has been mounted on the Archimedian water-pump.To disconnect or replace the water-heater, one needs only
to rotate the Water-heater/motor in an anti-clockwise direction and to pull it out.
The “O-Ring” seves to prevent any water-leakages from taking place; so care must be taken when fixing it back into place again
and it must often be checked for water-leakages.
Airbreak:
The Airbreak is placed on the left-hand side of the machine and its functions are:
1.To prevent the water from going back into the water-supply system once it has entered the machine.
2.Airbreak (venthole)
3.To allow at least 3% unsweentened water to be introduced which will prevent excessive formation of foam.
4.To contain the Turbine Litre-count
As compared to the former one, this Airbreak does not store any water. It must be remembered that the regeneration-cycle of the
resines on this model, differs to the previous one.
