■ The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a potential hazard ( es. tripping ). SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance. ■ Leaning or sitting on the open door of the dishwasher could cause it to tip over. Installation WARNING ! Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.
Water connection ■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y). Connecting the outlet hose IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused. 1 ■ The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).
WATER SOFTENER UNIT * The softener unit is set in the factory at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users. Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is.

PRATICAL HINTS How to make savings How to get really good wash results ■ If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes.
