Advice regarding the first wash cycle
After the appliance has been installed, immediately before
running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser
with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt
(
see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt
). The water
may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern.
Select the water hardness value (
see chapter entitled Rinse
aid and refined salt
). - After the salt has been poured into
the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and
the heating element may be damaged as a result.
* Only available in selected models.

Positioning and levelling
1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check
that it has not been damaged during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or
back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or
even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed
under a single worktop
* (
see the Assembly instruction
sheet
).
3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the
floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted
until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination
must not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is levelled
correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move
or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.
4
*. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the
appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher,
turning a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of
8 mm in a clockwise direction to increase the height or in
an anticlockwise direction to decrease the height.
Anti-condensation strip*
After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the
adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order
to protect it from any condensation that may form.
