SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance. The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a potential hazard ( es. Leaning or sitting on the open door of the dishwasher could cause it to tip over. Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. INSTALLATION (Technical notes) IMPORTANT When the appliance is located on a carpet floor, attention must be paid to ensure that there is no obstruction to the bottom vents. [. . . ] The rinse aid container must be empty (if it is not empty, set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position before using combined detergents). "ALL in 1" combined detergents If you are planning to use "ALL in 1" ("3 in 1 "/ "4 in 1"/ "5 in 1", etc. ) combined detergents i. e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following: refill both the salt and rinse aid container; run one normal washing cycle without a load. Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again. 15 A 14 read carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions given on the packaging; LOADING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming. CLEANING THE FILTERS The filter system (fig. A "4") consists of: a central container that traps the larger particles; a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water; 1 Filling the rinse aid container The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening. It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser. C a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse. To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash. To remove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise (fig. Remove the gauze filter (fig. 3) and wash the whole unit under a jet of water. With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, maintenance is reduced and the filter unit need only be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged. 2 FULL EMPTY dark light Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6 The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin. The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance. It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results. If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. After cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled and that the gauze filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher. Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, as poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance. 3 D 16 IMPORTANT Never use the dishwasher without the filters. 17 PRATICAL HINTS How to get really good wash results Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with the remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing. Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely. Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent. To wash silver properly: a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc. ; b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it; c) keep it separate from other metals. How to make savings If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.
