PPC37GB 7 The Water Softener Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral salts depending on the area in which you live: these are deposited on the dishes leaving white marks. The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water will be. The hardness level is measured on 2 equivalent scales: German degrees or French degrees. Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area. The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which uses special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free (softened) water. The softener can treat water hardness up to 90 French degrees via 5 adjustment levels. This could cause corrosion. PAA03GB 8 Rinse Aid The use of this liquid ensures thorough rinsing, spot and streak free drying, making the water run quickly off the dishes for sparkling results. Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine washing and hamper correct functioning of the machine. 9 M M IN AX 1 21 Loading your Machine Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc. ) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. UI03 Arrange the spoons, dessert spoons, knives and other small items of cutlery in the racks on both sides of the cutlery basket. Use of the Lower Basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc. Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely. Use of the Upper Basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cup-racks. US13 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 UI05 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 US12 Caution UI19 Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upward. Mix spoons with the other cutlery to prevent them sticking together. US16 When loading the dishes, ensure that you do not cover the water inlet funnel in the middle of the upper basket. US16 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. PCE07GB 10 Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position as follows: A Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. RC01 When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks. HELPFUL HINTS For Best Washing Results: Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Prolonged Periods of Non-Operation If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: unplug the appliance and turn off the water; fill the rinse aid dispenser; leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of unpleasant smells; leave the inside of the machine clean. Cleaning the Large Filter (Once a month) Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running water, using a brush. To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the two tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise (towards the left) and then slide the whole part out.
