User manual SCHOLTES VINKØLER SP XV 36

[. . . ] To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection. To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance). [. . . ] Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers. Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended. The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option. To achieve 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 Table of wash cycles: For powder detergent use compartments A and B. For detergent in tablet form: when the cycle requires 1 tablet, C place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the compartment and close the cover until it clicks. The machine will switch off automatically during certain periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity consumption. AUTO WASH CYCLES*: this model of dishwasher is 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 a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: open the door, avoiding the escaping steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off with a long beep. 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. - Press the P button repeatedly until the desired hardness level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5* see Water hardness table). - To exit the function, wait approximately 30 seconds or press another option button, or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button. Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled. (Salt cap with green float*) It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the container. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener beyond repair). When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed. Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery. This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained from the organisation which supplies your household with water. - Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button. [. . . ] If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to perform the repair work yourself. Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this may cause the appliance to overturn. The door should not be left open as it may create a dangerous obstacle. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles). [. . . ]
