[. . . ] Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket. If you take any dishes out of the machine before the end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining detergent. After using the machine, turn off its water supply and disconnect it from the power supply. [. . . ] To isolate the dishwasher from the mains completely, unplug it from the wall socket. During the water heating process, the timer is standing still. 3 Cycle sequence lamp While the programme is in progress, the operating lamp is lit and it goes out when the programme is ready. -5- Loading How to load the dishes The illustration shows the machine loaded with five standard 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 1 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 safe. q q q q q Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense of its appearance. Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you are in doubt as to whether your plastic-ware can be washed in the machine, we suggest you check by washing a single item or else wash them by hand. When washing delicate items, select 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. q 2 q q Instruction for test centres Test standard: Rated capacity: Loading of rack: Test program: Detergent (IEC type B): Rinse aid (typ III): Feed water pressure: Waste water outlet: EN 50242 5 place settings According to figure 1 Normal 65° C 15 gram in the dispenser Setting medium Minimum 0, 8 bar, maximum 10 bar Install according to figure 2 Rinse aid dispenser shall be filled in accordance with the instruction manual.
