[. . . ] You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance. Installation q Conservation In the interest of the environment: q q This appliance is heavy. It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician. [. . . ] Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. Light items (plastic bowls US47 etc. ) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, 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. In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket: load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door. UI49 UI19 US71 The cutlery basket Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. 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 upwards. UI04 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. To move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outwards and slide the basket out. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it). RC01 UI71 When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the cup racks. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 7 Hints and tips To save energy Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. Cleaning the central filter (After each wash) Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water. To remove the drain filter - simply pull it out by the handle. Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original position until it engages. External cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc. . . . ). Prolonged periods of non-operation If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. Leave the inside of the machine clean. A Frost precautions MA04 MA19 Cleaning the large filter (Every week) If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under running water, using a brush. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out the filter. [. . . ] The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications. 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. [. . . ]
