[. . . ] Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. INSTALLATION (Technical notes) IMPORTANT When the appliance is located on a carpet floor, attention must be paid to ensure that there is no obstruction to the bottom vents. Make sure that the plug on the appliance remains accessible after installation. Fuses and plugs This appliance should be used only on a socket with a minimum rating of 13 Amp. Our ready-fitted plug is already equipped with a 13 amp fuse which is BS 1362 ASTA approved. Any replacement should be exactly the same. [. . . ] The 50°C wash programmes purposely exploit the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes, allowing therefore, with the use of the concentrated detergents, to achieve the same results of the 65°C programmes but at a lower temperature. IMPORTANT Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty. Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste. Please note that using the "ALL in 1" combined detergents, the rinse aid and salt indicator lights (only used on selected models) are superfluous, so you must ignore the lights. If washing and/or drying problems occur, we recommend you return to use traditional separate products (salt, detergent and rinse agent). This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly. In this case, we recommends that you: Combined detergents The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and on the type of dishes to be washed. We advise using 20÷30 g of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (B). IMPORTANT Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time. The detergents that also contain the rinse aid must be placed in the wash section of the detergent container. The rinse aid container must be empty (if it is not empty, set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position before using combined detergents). "ALL in 1" combined detergents If you are planning to use "ALL in 1" ("3 in 1 "/ "4 in 1"/ "5 in 1", etc. ) combined detergents i. e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following: refill both the salt and rinse aid container; run one normal washing cycle without a load. Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent. To wash silver properly: a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc. ; b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it; c) keep it separate from other metals. How to make savings 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. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme. If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water. The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-cleaning. Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food remains or rinse aid. It is advisable to remove limestone deposits or dirt periodically, by doing an empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on the bottom of the tank and select the light wash. If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the filters, you notice that the dishes or pans are not properly washed or rinsed, check that all the spray heads on the rotor arms (fig. If they are blocked, clean them in the following way: 1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the arrow (fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in, unscrew it in a clockwise direction (to reassemble it repeat the same operation, but turn it anticlockwise).
