If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it. K8 Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. O If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back. 53 This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: - staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments; - farm houses; - by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments; - bed and breakfast type environments. 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. 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. M If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

Electrical Connection Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that: • the socket is earthed and complies with current regulations; • the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see Description of the appliance); • the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door; • the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see After Sales Service); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets. 53 Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible. 53 The cable should not be bent or compressed. 53 If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards.
