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. Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. 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. [. . . ] Accidental interruptions If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply is restored. Loading the detergent A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a more effective wash and pollutes the environment. To obtain the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used. Pour in the detergent after consulting the Wash cycle table: • for powder detergent use compartments A and B • for tablets, use compartment A and the bottom of the appliance, C i. When the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance. If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will flash continuously. €¢ if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a green float: approximately every 30 wash cycles; Loading the rinse aid Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled: • whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser. €¢ when the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the panel flashes; 1. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise H direction. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in an anti-clockwise direction). For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water. Position the funnel provided correctly (see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system beyond repair). When salt has been added, run a wash cycle immediately, without crockery, in order to remove any salt solution that has leaked out and to avoid corrosion. Adjusting the amount of salt* It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board). Turn the arrow on the neck of the dispenser (see figure) towards the + or symbols, using the table below as a guide. [. . . ] €¢ Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children. €¢ The packaging material should not be used as a toy: it can become a choking or suffocation hazard. Disposal of old electrical appliances The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. [. . . ]
