[. . . ] If in doubt, contact a qualified professional. 3. The dishwasher must only be used by adults for the washing of household dishes and cooking utensils. 4. Fundamental rules to follow when using the appliance: - Never touch the dishwasher when barefoot or with wet hands or feet; - We discourage the use of extension cords and multiple sockets; - During installation, the power supply cord must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened; - If the appliance is not operating properly or maintenance must be performed, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. 5. Keep detergents out of the reach of children, who must also be kept away from the dishwasher when it is open. [. . . ] - Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out. - Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom; If the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. How to Use the Upper Rack The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). - Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water. The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights (top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom position and then insert it along the guides until the front wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in place (see Fig. F) Bottom Rack Upper Rack Load for 12 Standard Settings (For IEC- EN 50242: upper rack at top position) Bottom Rack Upper Rack Normal Daily Load 1 2 3 Fig. F 4 5 GB Turning on the Appliance Starting a wash cycle. . . .

In order to prevent odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the hold 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. - There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils before placing them in the dishwasher. 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. Remove the Plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. 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 dishwashers. 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. [. . . ] Cold Water Connection Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector, inserting the small filter supplied with the dishwasher and making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see figure 2). If the water pipes are new or A have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of Fig. 2 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.
