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. q Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. [. . . ] 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 be 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. q q q Unloading Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. Always let the dishes cool down before unloading. The dishes dry faster if the door for a short moment is opened completely when the dishprogramme is finished and then left ajar. Be careful when opening the door, since hot steam may escape. -9- Using the appliance Starting the programme 1. Scrape or rinse off solid food remnants. Put the correct amount of detergent into the detergent dispenser and close the lid. Press in the required programme button (see programme chart). All other programme indicator lamps go out. The lamp always indicates which part of the selected cycle the dishwasher is in. Check the filters to see if they need to be cleaned when the dishwasher has finished the programme. Pause function With the pause function the programme can be interrupted for a short period of time. When you want the programme to continue again, you press the On/Off button. The programme should not be paused for any longer then necessary, because the water inside the dishwasher has cooled down and must be heated again which increases the power consumption. Cancelling the drying phase In case you do not want to wait until the drying phase is completed, you can cancel it. [. . . ] These features are according to current water technical safety regulations. The temperature of the water supply should not exceed 65° C and the pressure should be between 80-1000 kPa (0, 8 - 10 bar). It is important to have a tap or stopcock, positioned close to the dishwasher and with easy access. Special mixer taps with dishwasher connections are available, as well as adaptors for older mixer taps. [. . . ]
