Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information. This information has been provided in the interest of your safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. DE17 DE02 If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows: 1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Adjusting the dose According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution. Compact detergents with enzymes In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances. The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C. By choosing the "BIO" programmes (if available) you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free. BR02 36 Hints and tips To save energy Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. (Follow the instructions given in "Instruction Book" - Part 2). If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see "Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select an economic programme when dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart. Items not suitable for dishwashers The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof): - Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts - bronze cutlery - saucepans with wooden handles - aluminium ware - crystal ware - leaded glass - plastic items - antique or fine decorated china Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher. Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed by hand. Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher. A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to stain. If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item. When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof. For best washing and drying results Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. [. . . ] Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area. The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply. [. . . ]
