Turning on the Appliance Starting a wash cycle - Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall socket. - Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure. - Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading the Dishwasher" on page 5). - Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid" on page 3 and 4). - Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle setting is aligned with the reference mark (see the section entitled, "Wash Cycle Table" on page 8). - Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON-OFF light will turn on. At this point, the wash cycle will begin. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better. Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent" on page 4). Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON light will turn off.

Turn off the appliance using the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. . 5. GB Energy Saving Tips - It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the soak cycle. - Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty they are. - Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the environment. How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape After Every Wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside. Moving the Appliance If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back. Remove the Plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Seals One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a sponge will prevent this from occurring. No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwasher. When You Go on Holiday When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. [. . . ] If the water pipes are new or have not been used for a prolonged period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance. Hot Water Connection The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. [. . . ]
