Precautions and advice EN This appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards The following information has been provided for safety reasons and should therefore be read carefully. Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine. Please read these instructions carefully: they contain important information on installation, use and safety.
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. 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.
Installation EN If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back. Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug (B). Positioning and levelling To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher: - is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.
Anti-condensation strip* Before installing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form. The machine has a buzzer/set of tones (depending on the dishwasher model) to inform the user that a command has been implemented: power on, cycle end etc. EN The symbols/indicator lights/LEDs on the control panel/ display may vary in colour and may have a flashing or fixed light (depending on the dishwasher model).

Loading the racks Tips Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No preventive rinsing is needed under running water. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
EN Adjustable position tip-up compartments Unsuitable crockery The tip-up compartments can be positioned at different heights, to optimise the arrangement of crockery throughout the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments, by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots. • Wooden crockery and cutlery. • Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
Start-up and use Starting the dishwasher Measuring out the detergent 1. Turn the water tap on. 2. Press the ON/OFF button: all the indicator lights on the control panel will light up for a few seconds. 3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
Wash cycles The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model. EN Instructions on wash-cycle selection and detergent dosage Heavily soiled dishes and pans (not to be used for delicate items).
Special wash cycles and Options Notes: Optimum performance levels when using the “Rapid” cycle can be achieved by respecting the specified number of place settings. The Eco wash cycle complies with regulation AS/NZS 2007. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles, it uses less energy and is less harmful to the environment. Note for Test Laboratories: for information on comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: assistenza_en_lvs@indesitcompany.
Rinse aid EN Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Follow the instructions given on the packaging. If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add any rinse aid. If you do not add rinse aid, the LOW RINSE AID indicator light will stay lit. Measuring out 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.
Care and maintenance Shutting off the water and electricity supplies • Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks. • Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. Cleaning the dishwasher • The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water.
