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 Installation must be carried out by persons with the necessary knowledge and experience of water and drainage connections in accordance with the instructions in these directions for use and installation. The power cord must be plugged into an earthed socket. [. . . ] Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area. Detergent dispenser (5) Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal load about 1-2 tablespoons. Water softener 6 This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard (chalky) water, therefore the rinse aid dispenser should be set for a low dosage. The lime (chalk) in hard water causes white deposits to occur on dishes and the interior of the dishwasher. To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special container where its hardness is removed. Since the water softener consumes coarse dishwasher salt, you will have to replenish the salt container after a certain number of dishwashing cycles. When the indicator lamp on the control panel lights up, it is time to fill up with salt. -4- Controls and programme table All figures are nominal and vary for example due to temperature variations on the inlet water. The figures apply to washing up 5 settings. o 1 4 3 2 1 Temperature selector 55° - Button in 65° - Button out Door lock Press the handle down and open the door. Avoid opening the door while the machine is running. If the door is opened and is put standing ajar after a completed programme, the dishes will dry faster. 2 Selector knob To start the machine: - Turn the selector knob clockwise to the programme start. The ON/OFF switch is built into the programme selector. During the water heating process, the timer is standing still. To isolate the dishwasher from the mains completely, unplug it from the wall socket. 3 Cycle sequence lamp While the programme is in progress, the operating lamp is lit and it goes out when the programme is ready. 4 Salt indicator lamp The operating lamp indicates when the salt needs to be replenished. The lamp may remain lit for one or more programmes after replenishment, which is fully normal. -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 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. [. . . ] Using it for other purposes may damage it and invalidate the guarantee. Building-in If you want to build the dishwasher into your kitchen furniture, it is important to use our approved build-in kit. This comes with the correct instructions needed to observe all the relevant regulations. You can obtain the build-in kit from the same place where you bought the dishwasher. Protecting the machine against freezing If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes fall below 0° C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside the parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it. To prevent this you should: - Turn off the water supply to the machine and disconnect the water intake hose from the supply pipe. [. . . ]
