[. . . ] Connecting the water inlet hose • 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 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 ). [. . . ] 1 2 3 4 In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower level. Open the left and right guide rail stops and pull out the rack; position it higher or lower as required, slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels are in place and close the stops (see figure). 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 measure out a suitable amount of detergent (see below). Select the desired wash cycle according to the type of crockery and the soiling level ( see table of wash cycles), by turning the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob in a clockwise direction. After a few seconds the cycle will start and the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator lights will display the status of the cycle: Pre-wash, Wash, Rinse, or Drying. At the end of the wash cycle the drying phase indicator light flashes. Turn the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob in an anticlockwise direction until it reaches the RESET position, so that all the settings are reset. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water valve and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Open the door and wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery inside, in order to avoid burns. Modifying the wash cycle in progress If you have made an error in the selection process, it may be rectified within one minute of the start of the cycle: turn the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob in an anticlockwise direction until it reaches the RESET position and after a few seconds the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator light will switch off. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system beyond repair). When salt has been added, run a wash cycle immediately, without crockery, in order to remove any salt solution that has leaked out and to avoid corrosion. 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. +DUGQHVV RI WKH ZDWHU ƒG+ 0 - 10 10 – 25 25 – 50 > 50 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. €¢ Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning the machine and when carrying out maintenance work. Cleaning the filters The filters remove food residue from the water used in the wash cycle: to obtain the best results from each wash, they should be cleaned. After cleaning check that the filter assembly has been replaced correctly. Clean the filters: • after every wash cycle, remove the largest pieces of residue from semicircular plate A and glass B (these may be removed by pulling the handle) by rinsing them under running water. EN Cleaning the dishwasher • The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel may be cleaned using a cloth dampened with warm soapy water. €¢ Any marks on the appliance interior may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. [. . . ] €¢ If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods when a lower tariff is applied. 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.
