[. . . ] This appliance was designed for domestic use or similar applications, for example: - farmhouses; - use by guests in hotels, motels and other residential settings; - bed & breakfasts. Remove the appliance from all packaging and make sure it was not damaged during transportation. If it was damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. General safety • This appliance should not be operated by children younger than 8 years, people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, or inexperienced people who are not familiar with the product, unless they are given close supervision or instructions on how to use it safely and are made aware by a responsible person of the dangers its use might entail. [. . . ] After loading the appliance, make sure that the spray arms can rotate freely. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily. Cutlery basket The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack. Lower rack The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Upper rack Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers. 22 Tip-up compartments with adjustable position* The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots. To change the inclination, pull up the tip-up compartment, slide it slightly and position it as you wish. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery in order to avoid burns. The machine will switch off automatically during long periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity consumption. AUTO WASH CYCLES*:some dishwasher models are equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient and economical wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor. 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. The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the wash cycle. If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved. [. . . ] Preventing unpleasant odours Food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush. To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards. [. . . ]
