Before use Before using your dishwasher for the first time: Filling with salt Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
Rinse aid Use of detergent Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2.
Using your appliance Loading your appliance The upper basket Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.
Hints and tips To save energy Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select the Quick 50°C programme when dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart. For best washing results Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Washing programmes Programme Normal 65°C * Bio 50°C with prewash Bio 50°C no prewash ** Quick 50°C Rinse and Hold Degree of soil Normal soil.
Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 9. Switch off the dishwasher Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). Open the door and switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one. 2.
Maintenance and cleaning The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. Internal cleaning Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash without dishes using detergent.
