Integrated ("i") dishwashers "i"- dishwashers are designed for installation under a continuous countertop. The control panel with its accessories is included with the "i"- dishwasher in a separate package for on-site installation. [. . . ] It may be necessary to add additional detergent, depending on where the original program was interrupted. Interrupting a program. A program can be interrupted by opening the door. If the door is then closed, the program will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Once the door has been opened, allow 20-30 second for internal temperature to equalize before closing it again, and then make sure it clicks into place. Unloading the dishwasher Dishes tend to break and chip easier when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. If the door is opened at the completion of the drying cycle, the dishes will cool much faster. Unload the lower basket first, then the upper basket and cutlery tray (if so equipped). This will prevent water drops from the upper basket or cutlery tray from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket. 33 Additional features Additional features Top Solo (17). When this feature is selected, the majority of the water is directed to the top and middle spray arms of the dishwasher. Its use is recommended when all the dishes or cutlery needing cleaning can be loaded into the upper basket and cutlery tray. Note: Lightly soiled plates or serving platters can still be placed in the bottom basket if large spaces are left between them. Do not place dishes, bowls or other hollow containers in the bottom basket. Adjusting the upper basket to its lowest position will allow it to accommodate larger plates. Because smaller amounts of dishware are being washed, the amount of detergent used can be reduced accordingly. For example, using "Top Solo" with the NORMAL 55°C/130°F program uses 3. 2 gallons (12 liters) of water, instead of the usual 5 gallons (19 liters). "Top Solo" can be selected with all wash programs. The "Top Solo" indicator lamp illuminates, and the program starts. 34 Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet. The combination filter in the base of the wash cabinet should be regularly inspected and cleaned as necessary. Any broken glass or dishware should be removed immediately upon discovery. Use caution when cleaning the filters, non-return valve or drain pump, as glass or bone splinters may be caught in the bottom of the wash cabinet. Turn the handle counterclockwise to release the filters. Lift the combination filter out of the machine. A nylon brush can be used, if necessary. 35 Cleaning and care Turn the combination filter over and open the coarse filter cover by pulling back on the locking tab. After cleaning, make sure that the coarse filter cover is properly locked in place. Replace the combination filter so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Secure it by turning the handle clockwise. 36 Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms. On rare occasions particles of food may get stuck in the spray arm jets. They can be easily cleaned as follows: Dishwashers with cutlery basket: Unscrew the upper spray arm. Push up on the upper spray arm to engage the tooth-wheel mechanism and then unscrew the spray arm. To remove the middle spray arm located beneath the upper basket, gently push upwards until it engages in the ratchet b, then unscrew it c. To clean the spray arms, use a pointed object to push the the food particles into the jets. [. . . ] If the hose is too long, coil it neatly and place it behind the machine. Cut the 3/8" copper tube after the valve. Install the 3/8" compression to 3/4" MHT (Male Hose Thread) adapter (supplied with the machine), as illustrated. Electrical wiring and components should not come into contact with any plumbing fixtures or hoses. 63 Plumbing Drainage system specifications: The machine comes equipped with: ­ A 5 ft. long (1. 5 m) flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm).
