[. . . ] EN Precautions and advice This appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following information has been provided for safety reasons and should be read carefully. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, make sure the manual is kept with the machine. Read the instructions carefully, as they include important information on safe installation, use and maintenance. [. . . ] Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the spray arms from rotating. Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic or stainless-steel dishes. Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move. After loading the appliance, make sure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 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. Upper rack Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls. Lower rack The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Adjustable position tip-up compartments* The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three different heights to optimize the arrangement of the crockery inside the rack. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily. Some models are equipped with Vertical Zone, special pull-out supports*in the rear of the rack that can be used to support frying pans and baking pans in a more vertical position, thus taking up less space. In order to use it, just get hold of the coloured grip and pull it upwards while rotating it forward. The supports can slide right and left to fit the size of the crockery. 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. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slot. To change the inclination, pull up the tipup compartment, slide it slightly and position it as you wish. *Only available in selected models with different numbers and positions. 28 Tray* Adjusting the height of the upper rack The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments by creating more space upwards. The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY. Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which can be used to hold small crockery and cutlery. For optimum washing performance, avoid positioning bulky crockery directly below the tray. ) EN If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device* (see figure), lift it up by holding its sides. [. . . ] 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. - Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.
