3 LEVELLING AND POSITIONING

LEVELLING Model Serial number Mode ASPES LAHEP 1208041269 a Emi The specifications label is on the top edge of the interior of the door. This label must never be removed, since it provides information about the exact model of the dishwasher, required power supply, serial number and warranty. It is important for the dishwasher to rest frmly on the floor, in a perfectiy upright position. It shoulci then be levelled to rectify the effect of any unevenness of the floor. Use a spirit level. POSITIONING If you want to remove the cover, you can do so by removing the two screws from the back of the cover. Remove the rear counterwelght and pull out the insulating blanket, if the model has one. Ifthe appliance is to be positioned under a worktop, top can be removed or left in position:

Then pull the support blocks for the cover outwards and backwardks. Some integrated models have a rod for leveling the rear feet from the front of the dishwasher. Before fiting the dishwasher into the recess, move it up to the space and raise it by turning the rear foot to leave a space of some 3 milimetres from the worktop. Fit the dishwasher into the space. Adjust it to the worktop until the top part of the dishwasher is touching the lower part of the cabinet worktop. Fitting a dishwasher into a row of cupboards. When fitting the dishwasher into a row of kitchen cupboards with a continuos plinth: Unscrew and remove the base. Loosen and remove su- pport legs. Screw the adjustable legs into the dishwasher. Ref the base to the cupboards and, if necessary make any haight adjustment to plinth to the required height to allow the dishwasher to ft properiy behind

Water hardness adjustment. Water contains scale. The more scale, the harder the water. To prevent the scale in the water from damaging the dishwasher, it is equipped with a descaler to reduce the scale and leave it perfectiy clean for washing. The descaler uses salt to function Before starting up the dishwasher, you will need to know the water hardness in your area. You can find this out by either 1° Consulting the local Water Board, 2° m consulting the T.A.S. (Technical Assistance Service), or 3° m using the Aquadur strip included in the accessories bag, following the instructions below. To find out the water hardness: Place the strip in a glass of water for one second, and then take it out. Shake it and wait for one minute. The strip will show the water hardness. Check the result of the test against the table below. You will probably need to adjust your dishwasher.

Controlling the salt level Depending on the model, dishwashers will have a manual or electronic salt level control. MANUAL REGULATION Ifthere is a salt regulator like the one shown in the photographs (Mod. A-B) inside your dishwasher on the right- hand side, turn it to the number that corresponds to the hardness of the water in your area (see table). To tumnit to the correct position, use a coin (Mod. A) or a screwdhiver (Mod. BJ. Where to put the salt The dishwasher has a salt container in the bottom of the tub. Importai salt only. : use dishwasher The first time you fil the salt container, you must Pour in the salt but do not fil the container to the top. Top it up with water. Stir with a spoon. Close the lid tight and clean the sait around the container. When the salt container needb filing, you should always do it before a wash and not afterwards.

When does the salt need refilling? A pilot light will come on to © IMPORTANT show when more salt needs to be added You should not use or salt if your dishwasher does not need it. In this case, the pilot light will remain on at all times. {fl PILOT LIGHT û Important: If your dishwasher does not have a display or pilot light, you should periodically refil the salt that has been used (about every 20 washes for medium-hard water). The rinse-aid helps drying and prevents drops of water from clinging to utensils after washing The rinse-aid container is located on the inside of the door, next to the detergent container. It has a 4-position dispenser for adjusting the amount of rinse-aid to the water quality {the dispenser is set at position 2 at the factory). If you notice drops of water on utensils, increase the position of the rinse-aid dispenser. If the utensils have white or sticky RINSE-AID CONTAINER DISPENSER lines, lower the position.

English Detergent The detergent is poured into a tank on the inside of the door, beside the rinse aid tank. Pour in the detergent, then close the tank cap. Some programmes also require part of the dose of detergent to be poured into the tank

cap compartment. ER SY DETERGENT CONTAINER Detergent comes in tablet, powder and liquid form. You can consul the amount of detergent needed on the programme chart. If you use detergent tablets instead of traditional products (granulated salt, pouver détergent, liquid rinse aich, you may notice a loss of efficiency, particular in the case of short programmes and/or programmes with low wash temperatures. If you notice any performance problems with your dishwasher, e.g. there is a white film on the tank or on the dishes, an accumulation of scale or poor drying efficiency, you should go back to using traditional products. We would remind you that if you go back to using traditional granulated salt, you will need to run a few programmes before the dishwasher performs perfectiy again, and there may stil be some residue left on the tank and dishes. If you wish to use combined tablet products, read the instructions and indications for use on the packet carefully. In case of doubt, consult the cleaning product manufacturer. We provide no guarantee for any complaints directly related to the use of this type of products.

AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES

When the appliance reaches the end of its service life, you should not dispose of it with the general domestic waste. It can be taken free of charge to the local administrations’ specific selective collection centres, or to distributors who provide this service. Separating a domestic appliance before disposing of it means you will prevent possible negative consequences for the environment and health which may be given rise to by incorrect disposal, and it means the materials making it up can be treated and recycled, obtaining important savings on energy and resources. To remind you that you must collaborate with a selective collection scheme, there is a symbol on the product warning you not to dispose of it in traditional refuse containers. For further information, contact your local authority or the shop where you bought the product.
