6. Adjusting the door springs

The door springs are correctly adjusted
when a half opened door (approx. 45°
opening angle) remains in that position
when released.

If the door drops down, then the door
springs need to be tightened.

If, however, it rises up, then the springs
need to be released.

The adjusting screw is located in the
upper front strip at the left hand side of
the dishwasher.

Open the dishwasher door.

Adjust the door spring until it is cor-
rectly balanced:
– turn clockwise = tighten
– turn anti-clockwise = loosen.

7. Level and secure the

dishwasher

To ensure the stability of the dish-
washer it must be screwed to the con-
tinuous worktop after it has been posi-
tioned.

Fit the securing pieces into the slots
on both the left and right hand sides.

Push the dishwasher into the recess.

Open the dishwasher door.

The hole in the securing piece must
line up with the oval hole in the niro
steel plate.
