Please read these user instructions carefully. Above all please observe the safety instructions on the first few pages of these user instructions!Please keep these user instructions for later reference. Pass them on to any subsequent owner of the appliance. [. . . ] Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Light items (plastic bowls etc. ) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. US69 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 18 152975 61/0en 25-09-2002 10:04 Pagina 19 Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 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. RC01 Attention!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 raised cup racks. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 19 152975 61/0en 25-09-2002 10:04 Pagina 20 Use of detergent Attention!Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. As all detergents are not the same, please pay attention to the instructions from the manufacturer of your brand. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent over the lid of the dispenser, according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. 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. At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. 20 152975 61/0en 25-09-2002 10:04 Pagina 21 Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution. BIO programmes and compact powders On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be classified into two groups: conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components: low-alkaline compact powders with natural enzymes. The enzymes in low-alkaline compact powders have a dirt-dissolving effect and are also biodegradable. These enzymes deploy their full dirt-dissolving power within a temperature range of 40-50°C. In BIO washing programmes, the temperature range and duration of the heating phases are precisely matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes. In combination with low-alkaline compact powders, BIO washing programmes, at a temperature as low as 50°C, therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes. The lack of any caustic components in low-alkaline compact powders and the lower cleaning temperature of BIO washing programmes not only relieve the environment, but also care for your crockery. 21 152975 61/0en 25-09-2002 10:04 Pagina 22 Washing programmes Programmes Type of soil Type of load Heavy soil. [. . . ] Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply. If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose. The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications. [. . . ]
