User manual INDESIT IDE1000DOT2

[. . . ] The dishwasher must only be used by adults for the washing of household dishes and cooking utensils. 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. Keep detergents out of the reach of children, who must also be kept away from the dishwasher when it is open. This appliance cannot be installed outdoors, not even if the area in which it is installed is covered by a roof; it is also very dangerous to leave it exposed to the rain and elements. [. . . ] Cycle phase under way indicator While the wash cycle is under way, the symbols corresponding to the cycle phases light up in sequence. Here are the symbols corresponding to each cycle phase: You've left out a dish?You can interrupt a wash cycle by pressing the "ON-OFF" button, then place the forgotten dishes into the appliance, which will start up, after approximately 10 seconds, from where it was interrupted when you turn it back on. The wash cycle stops and 3 dashes appear on the display; the cycle restarts as soon as the electricity comes back on or when the door is shut. At the end of the wash cycle The end of the wash cycle is indicated by two short beeps and the word "END" flashes on the display. Warning: Turn the appliance off by pressing button “A”, unplug the appliance from the electricity socket to cut off the power supply; the power supply cable should consequently be easily accessible. Make sure the wash cycle has ended before removing the dishes!Warning: when you open the dishwasher door after the wash cycle has just ended or is under way, take care not to scald yourself with the hot steam. Pre-wash Wash Rinses Drying Cancelling and modifying a wash cycle in progress Premise: a wash cycle in progress can only be modified if it hasn't been running for long. Keep the Reset button "R" pressed for about 3 seconds: a prolonged beep will sound, followed by three short beeps. The cancelled cycle time will flash on the display. - 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. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance. 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. [. . . ] 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. The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water line. Drain Hose Connection Fit the drain pipe into a drain line with a minimum diameter of 4 cm or place it over the sink. [. . . ]
