[. . . ] Important: Never use your dishwasher without the SID dispenser. Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it will impair the washing results. The amount of detergent to be used varies depending on how soiled the dishes are and the type of dishes being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in the «Washing programmes» chart. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution. PBR02GB C x m a 6543 BR02 Caution: Do not put liquid detergent into the rinse aid compartment. 7 M M IN AX 21 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. UI07 The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart. To reassemble, reverse the procedure. 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. The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. To lower the prongs: slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture); to bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. UI18 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 cupracks. UI22 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 US22 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 UI21 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. Teaspoons may be loaded into the special slots provided in the cutlery basket handle. PCE05GB 8 Caution To ensure proper water distribution to the upper basket, do not place dishes over the hole in the SID (Super Intensity Dispenser) in the centre of the basket. US04 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: - pull out the basket; - grasp it on the two sides and pull it upwards until the mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable. When the top basket is in the higher position it will RC04 only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup-racks. To put the basket back in the lower position, grasp the two sides, pull upwards again, then allow the basket to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it. Warning: never lift or lower the basket on one side only. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 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. [. . . ] Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. PMA05GB 12 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. Frost Precautions Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the water inlet tap, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it. Moving the Machine If you have to move the machine (you are moving house etc. . . ): unplug it; turn off the water tap; remove the water inlet and discharge hoses; pull the machine out together with the hoses.
