Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. Open the door and slide out the baskets. 14 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. UI51 UI12 The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. To lower the prongs: Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture). To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. UI84 UI83 15 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. ONLY in case of use of detergent in tablets with the "Quick 50°" programme, it is advisable to put the tablet directly in the dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special tablets containers. At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash. 18 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. Compact detergents with enzymes In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances.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 "50°C" programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. 19 Washing programmes Programme Type of soil and type of load Required push buttons Recommended quantity of detergent wash prewash Intensive 65° Heavy soil.

This programme, developed for the use of detergents with enzymes, allows to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of the programme has been prolonged. [. . . ] The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications.
