[. . . ] GB DISHWASHER Use and maintenance handbook (AUS) FREESTANDING MECHANICAL 1 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE 1. 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Norms and regulations to be respected · The dishwasher may only be used to clean household dishes. If the appliance is used for other purposes or in a wrong manner, the manufacturer declines all responsibilities for possible damages. · For safety reasons, no modifications must be carried out on the appliance. · Before connecting the appliance to the electric power supply system, check that the power supply at the place of installation is compatible with the electric data indicated on the data tag. [. . . ] For this reason, the appliance is equipped with a water softener (fig. 6) which is automatically regenerated in regular intervals thanks to the saline solution. The salt consumption for the regeneration process depends on the hardness/softness of the local water that is being used. To find out the degree of hardness of your water contact your town administration or use a commercial testing kit. To guarantee an optimal regeneration of the softener it is necessary to set device D according to your local hardness (see table) and to make sure that the salt container is always filled with special dishwasher salt.

During a programme the detergent is automatically taken from the detergent container. We recommend the use of about 25 g of detergent. Detergents vary in their strength and efficiency. You should therefore pay attention to the dosage recommendations of each manufacturer. The container for the detergent is located on the inside of the door. If the lid is closed: · Push forward closing mechanism P. The lid will open with a "click". · Fill the detergent into the container V. · To close the lid, press until you hear a closing "click". If your dishes are exceptionally dirty, you can also fill some detergent into the indentation of the lid. In this case, fill the indentation up to the edge. This detergent will be available and active during the pre-wash phase.

The lower basket holds regular plates, soup bowls, pans, soup tureens, lids, and serving dishes.
