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 All installation and service work done on the product must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the product and may cause personal injury or damage. [. . . ] If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut clockwise (left-hand thread) and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants. Coarse filter 3 The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the filter is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary. Water softener plug 7 As supplied from the factory, the water softener is set for a water hardness of up to 20°dH. If your water is harder than this, you can increase the capacity of the water softener by pulling out the ruber plug at the rear of the dishwasher on the right. Fine filter 4 It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency. The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed the coarse filter. Detergent dispenser 5 Consult the instructions on the detergent packet and fill the compartment with the detergent. Remember that the instructions usually refer to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. - 17 - Loading How to load the dishwasher 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 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 q 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. Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discoloration in the machine. [. . . ] Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the programme run for a short time. Make sure that there is coarse-grained salt in the salt container for the water softener. The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacture is not responsible for any frost damage. - 22 - Installation Positioning In its standard version the machine is intended for installation on a kitchen sink or worktop. [. . . ]
