[. . . ] 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. Do not touch the heating element during or after a wash cycle. [. . . ] It is best if you place longer utensils horizontally at the front of the upper rack. How to Use the Upper Rack Place delicate and lightweight dishes in the upper rack: glasses, tea cups and coffee cups, saucers - but plates too - shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and shallow pans. Position light weight dishes in such a way as to avoid their being moved by the spray of water. The appliance can also be equipped with one or two tipup compartments onto which you can place mugs and cups, as well as long sharp knives and serving cutlery. After loading the dishes, remember to check that the blades on the sprayer arms can turn freely without hitting against any dishes. How to adjust the Upper rack The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights (top and bottom). The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs located on the sides of the rack itself (see figure C) How to start a wash cycle. Turn on the water tap completely and press ON-OFF button "A". You will hear a short beep and indicator light "B" lights up. To select the wash cycle, turn knob "D" clockwise until the reference notch on the knob corresponds with the number or symbol for the cycle you wish to set (have a look at the wash cycle table on page 17). After a few seconds, you will hear a short beep: the wash cycle has begun and we do not recommend you change it. Short cold wash to prevent food from drying onto the dishes. Rinse and drying cycle Hot rinse at 67°C for dishes that are seldom Drying used and are only dusty. - It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded in order to save on energy. 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. 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. [. . . ] Use a screwdriver to turn the screws in the clockwise direction to raise the dishwasher and in the anticlockwise direction to lower it. This electric household appliance should be connected to the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided with the appliance only. In the event of replacements, use original spare parts only. Connect the cold water supply hose to a 3/4 gas threaded connection, placing the small filter provided between the hose and connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the tap. [. . . ]
