[. . . ] Open the door, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Wait a few minutes before removing the crockery in order to avoid burns. Starting the dishwasher Measuring out the detergent A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution. Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid detergent. In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly. For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box. For further questions please ask the detergent producers' Advice Offices. To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”. - The machine will switch off automatically during long periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity consumption. AUTO WASH CYCLES*: some models of dishwasher are equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient and economic wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly. Changing a wash cycle in progress If a mistake was made in the wash cycle selection process, it is possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start the cycle by closing the door. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub. When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment B comprises a level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent that can be added to each cycle. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place. [. . . ] Cleaning the sprayer arms The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards. After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher. Leaving the machine unused for extended periods If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher. [. . . ]
