We as manufacturers, however, see ourselves as being obliged to familiarise you with the following safety instructions. Using your dishwasher for its intended purpose q Only use your dishwasher for machine washing of household crockery. If your machine is misused or used for any purposes other than that for which it is intended, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused. q For safety reasons, you should not convert or modify your dishwasher in any way. Before using your dishwasher for the first time q Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. [. . . ] Use the tip of a knife or a screwdriver to rotate the selector. If drops of water or white marks remain on the crockery after it has been washed, gradually increase the dosage. If the crockery comes out with whitish, sticky streaks, reduce the dosage. C x m a 6543 21 BR02 15 Adding dishwashing detergent Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the rinse and hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser. To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). To help you to correctly dose the right amount of detergent, inside the container there are two reference marks: - MIN = 15 ml - MAX = 30 ml DE12 The amount of detergent to be used varies depending on how soiled the dishes are and the type of dishes being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in the programme chart. After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid. All the programmes with prewash require a small extra amount of detergent to be poured over the lid of the dispenser, as shown on the picture. DE11 16 M M IN AX D 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. 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. Phosphate free detergents with enzymes In these low-alkaline compact powders the environment unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradables substances. These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free. As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you to add salt to the container even if the hardness of your water is as low as 4°dH (7°TH). This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub. 17 Loading your machine Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any large scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc. ) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible; correct arrangement of the items will give better washing results. [. . . ] Never connect your dishwasher to open hot water appliances and continuous flow heaters!The supply hose is fitted with a screwed hose connection (to DIN 259) and can be connected to an outlet valve (water tap) with male thread (3/4"). Suitable washers are supplied with the machine. Do not use any washers other than these! [. . . ]
