[. . . ] Read the instructions carefully, as they include important information on safe installation, use and maintenance. This appliance was designed for domestic use or similar applications, for example: - farmhouses; - use by guests in hotels, motels and other residential settings; - bed & breakfasts. Remove the appliance from all packaging and make sure it was not damaged during transportation. If it was damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. [. . . ] Upper rack Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers. 22 Tip-up compartments with adjustable position* The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots. For optimum drying results incline the tip-up compartments more. To change the inclination, pull up the tip-up compartment, slide it slightly and position it as you wish. The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments/sectors by creating more space upwards. EN Adjusting the height of the upper rack In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower position. The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY. Press the ON/OFF button: The ON/OFF indicator light and the display light up. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent (see Measuring out the detergent). Load the racks (see Loading the racks) and shut the door. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles) by pressing the wash-cycle selection buttons. Start the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button: The wash indicator light comes on and the time left until the end of the cycle appears on the display. At the end of the cycle, the display shows End of Cycle. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level. The machine will switch off automatically during long periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity consumption. AUTO WASH CYCLES*:some dishwasher models are equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient and economical wash cycle accordingly. [. . . ] Strongly push the door until a “clacking” noise is heard. € The dishes are rattling against each other or against the sprayer arms. Place the dishes properly and make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. € Too much foam: the detergent has not been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers. [. . . ]
