[. . . ] If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back. A EN 60 83 168 100 120 121 148 B Connecting the water inlet hose • To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection. € To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. [. . . ] After one long beep and three short beeps, the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator light will switch off: select the new cycle and switch the machine back on by pressing the START/RESET button. Adding extra crockery Press the ON/OFF button and open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the ON/OFF button again: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted. Accidental interruptions If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply is restored. Loading the detergent A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a more effective wash and pollutes the environment. To obtain the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used. Pour in the detergent after consulting the Wash cycle table: • for powder detergent use compartments A and B • for tablets, use compartment A and the bottom of the appliance, C i. When the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the compartment and close the cover until it clicks. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): • if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3). € if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). If you are using multi-functional tablets and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2. The default setting of the water softening system is +. - If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +. Loading the refined salt In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled: • when the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser; • when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel flashes; • if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a green float: approximately every 30 wash cycles; * Only available in selected models. 19 Care and maintenance EN Shutting off the water and electricity supplies • Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks. € Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning the machine and when carrying out maintenance work. Cleaning the filters The filters remove food residue from the water used in the wash cycle: to obtain the best results from each wash, they should be cleaned.
