Because we continually strive to improve our products, we may change our specifications and designs without prior notice. This appliance has been designed, constructed and distributed in compliance with the safety requirements of EC directives. 4 73/23/EC 89/336/EC 93/68/EC IEC 436/DIN 44990 EN 50242 The dishwasher should only be operated on the voltage specified. For electrical safety, only earthed plugs and sockets should be used. [. . . ] In general, you will obtain satisfactory results from combined detergents only under specific usage conditions. These detergents contain predetermined amounts of rinse aid and/or softening salt. This means that you cannot adjust the amount of water-softening salt and rinse aid that you use to suit the water hardness level in your home. You should bear the following points in mind when using such detergents: - Be sure to check the specifications of the product you are using and whether it is a combined product or not. - Follow the instructions on the packet when using these products. - The use of these products at the correct appliance settings will ensure economical use of salt and/or rinse aid. - If the detergent is in tablet form, never place these in the internal section or cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always place the tablets in the detergent dispenser of the detergent holder. - If you use combined detergents without adding salt, lime scale may form especially on glasses. To avoid lime scale formation: Put your appliance's water softener setting at "1" and add salt. When the salt is used up, add more salt to the water softener. - These detergents do not contain rinse aid so you need to use the rinse aid setting as described in the manual, making sure that there is rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser with every wash and that you refill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid every time it is empty. - These detergents will not give you the same drying performance that you can obtain by using separate detergent, salt and rinse aid. To increase the drying performance: Put your appliance's rinse aid setting at "1" and apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is used up, add more rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser. - If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid setting higher than 1, contact with the hands may leave rainbow-coloured water stains on the washed items and inside the machine. - These detergents do not contain softening salt so you need to use the softening setting as described in the manual, making sure that there is watersoftening salt in the water softener with every wash and that you refill the water softener with salt every time it is empty. - These detergents will not give you the same drying performance that you can obtain by using separate detergent, salt and rinse aid. To increase the drying performance: Put your appliance's rinse aid setting at "1" and apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is used up, add more rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser. - If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid setting higher than 1, contact with the hands may leave rainbow-coloured water stains on the washed items and inside the machine. 12 - Should you encounter a problem that has previously never occured after you start using these detergents, contact the detergent manufacturer directly. You will find contact details on the packet. - Ensure that the salt and rinse aid dispensers are full. - Put the water hardness setting at the highest level and run a wash cycle with the appliance empty. - After washing while empty, return the water hardness setting to the correct level for your mains water hardness shown in the manual. - Put the rinse aid setting at the correct level. Use only rinse aid intended for household dishwashers. If the dishwasher is considerably full and the dishes are relatively dirty, fill the main container (A) up to 25cm³ level. [. . . ] Always close pouring spout after each use. Add rinse aid to the dispenser. 19 TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOMS SOLUTIONS Remove spots with silver polish. Wash soon after use, or pre-wash items Prolonged contact with salty or highly acidic foods or with undissolved or highly if they will not be washed right away. or pouring detergent directly on flatware.
