After adjustment or display of the current setting, simply do not touch the button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode. 2. 2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right. With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required. 16 User instructions ADDING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door. • Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. • Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates. • Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction. • Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam. ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results. 19 User instructions WARNING!• • • • • Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out. Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other. Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch. MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe. Items which are not dishwasher-safe: • • • • • • • Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures. Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them. Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket. [. . . ] WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be paid for by the user. 30 User instructions 4.
