User manual SINGER 81-78

[. . . ] €¢ To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be provided 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 ).  The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see below). [. . . ]  When buying crockery and cutlery we recommend that you check whether it can be washed using the dishwasher. Washing the handles* To wash the upper and lower rack handles: remove the two fastening plugs, lift out the handles and rinse them under running water, then fasten them to the rack using the same plugs. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button: the indicator light will illuminate. Select the programme by pressing the WASH CYCLE SELECT button; the corresponding indicator light will illuminate. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: the machine will emit a confirmation beep. At the end of the cycle two short beeps will sound and the WASH CYCLE indicator light will flash. Open the door, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Modifying a wash cycle in progress 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, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press the WASH CYCLE SELECT button, holding it for 4 seconds. After one long beep and three short beeps, the WASH CYCLE indicator light will switch off: select the new wash cycle and start the programme by shutting the door. Adding extra crockery Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. 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. 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 H anticlockwise direction. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the F dispenser. Adjusting the amount of rinse aid If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): • if there are bluish streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3). €¢ Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. [. . . ] The Delayed start* button (see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly. Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes • We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. €¢ Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle. €¢ To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of the crockery.
