LOADING THE SALT
■ 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.
Other types of salt contain small quantities
of insoluble particles which over a long
period of time may affect and deteriorate
the softener performance.
■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the con-
tainer on the bottom and then refill the
container.
■ During this operation a little water will
overflow; but keep adding salt until the
container is full. When the container is
full, clean the thread of salt residue and
retighten the tap.
■ After loading the salt, it is recommended
running a complete washing cycle,
or COLD RINSE programme. The salt
dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5
and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the
appliance, it should be refilled from time
to time according to the regulation of the
water softener unit.
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.

Salt loading indicator
Some models are provided with an indicator
light which signals salt consumption.
The signal will appear according to one of
two systems:
■ an indicator light on the control panel
which will light up when it is necessary to
reload the salt container;
■ the salt container cap with a green
mobile light (fig. 1a) which remains
visible as long as there is enough salt for
regeneration purposes. When the green
surface is depressed inside the cap,
more salt must be loaded.
Other models are provided with a blind cap
(fig. 1b). In this case, the salt level must be
checked periodically, according to the
regulation of the water softener unit.
IMPORTANT
The appearance of white stains on
dishes is generally an important
sign that the salt container needs
filling.

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).
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. 6a).
IMPORTANT
After removing the work top, the
screws MUST BE screwed again
under the rear edge of the top
(fig. 6b).
■ 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
