To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety. Installation and servicing q q Only use detergent specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. [. . . ] This washing system varies both the revolutions of the pump and the water pressure for more intensive cleaning of the dishes during the programme. That is why different sections of the programme cycle do not sounds the same. -9- Loading and unloading the dishwasher How to load the dishes The illustration shows the dishwasher loaded with six place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below we are sure you will be pleased with the results. q q Baskets Main basket Cutlery basket Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down. Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc. ) so that the water can run off when drying. Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. The water must get at all the soiled surfaces. Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating. Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver. China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may not be suitable for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic handles. Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher proof. q q q q q Silver and aluminum items tend to discolour when washed. Food remnants from egg and mustard often causes discolourations and stains on silver. Make sure to rinse off and remove food remnants on silver if it is not washed immediately after it has been used. Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be machine washed, we suggest you check by washing a single item or else wash them by hand. When washing delicate items, select the programme with the lower wash temperature. Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration to the interior of the dishwasher. Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the main basket. If required, the top and the handle to the cutlery basket are removable. q q q Unloading Hot dishes are sensitive to mechanical shocks. [. . . ] The end of the hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut. Check that the nut is tight before the machine is moved into position. Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dishwasher, do not reuse the old inlet hose. - 17 - Installation Water drainage To protect the dishwasher against water damage it is equipped with a water safety system.
