[. . . ] If you are reasonably handy at DIY, installing your dishwasher should be relatively straight forward as long as you stick to the following guidelines. If you have any doubts about installing this product we suggest you seek professional advice. IMPORTANT The electrical supply, water supply and drain should NOT be positioned directly behind the appliance. When the appliance is located and fixed in position it must be possible to switch off and disconnect both electrical and water supplies. [. . . ] All loading combinations and variations are possible, provided dishes and pans are placed so that all dirty surfaces are exposed to the jets of water from below, and the water is able to flow freely. Loading the Top Basket The top basket is intended to take only small and medium items such as glasses, small plates, coffee and tea cups, shallow bowls and light heat resistant plastic objects. When the top basket is used in the lower position, plates with light dirt can also be placed in it. Load plates with the top, and other recipients with the opening facing down. A few washes will give you experience of the best way to arrange cups and glasses in two layers. Large and small plates can be placed in the centre, in the supports provided. Loading cont. . . Adjusting the Top Basket The top basket can be in two different positions depending on the height of the dishes. - Pull out the right-hand basket guide; - remove the stop, first releasing it as shown in the diagram; - push the guide to free the wheels; - fit the upper or lower pair of wheels into the guide depending on the setting required; - return the stop to its original position. This will allow large diameter plates to be loaded into the bottom basket. 5 What not to Load Some objects are best washed by hand. These include large silverware items, hand painted crockery, very sot plastics, antique porcelain and utensils with polished wood handles. Since dishwasher detergents tend to be abrasive, "soft" glassware, cut glass, and lead-crystal ware should not be washed in the dishwasher. These days, manufacturers often display the "Dishwasher Safe" stamp on items that are robust enough to cope with regular dishwashing. If you ever hear knocking or a breaking noises during a cycle, stop the machine at once. NEVER OPEN THE DOOR WHILST A CYCLE IS IN PROGRESS Having stopped the machine, wait 15 minutes to allow the crockery to cool down before opening the door to attend to any problem. IMPORTANT NOTE In the interest of general safety do not place long bladed knives in the cutlery basket. In this case, the warranty would no longer apply. Filling with salt Use only regenerating salt for household dishwashers. If salt pastilles are used, do not fill container completely. There is a container on the bottom of the dishwasher into which the regeneration salt has to be poured. After taking out the bottom basket, unscrew the cap off by turning it anti-clockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before unscrewing the cap back into place, remove salt residue from the opening of the container. The water softener contains about 1, 7 kg of salt. when the appliance is used for the first time, one litre of water has to be poured into the tank as well as the salt. The salt container must always be topped up before a wash, so that any overflowing salt solution will be removed immediately by the water. If this solution is left inside the tank, it might cause corrosion. Adjusting the water softener The dishwasher is fitted with a device which allows adjustements to the level of hardness of the mains water. It is inside the plastic ring-nut on the right-hand side inside the dishwasher and allows setting 5 levels. Set the water softener after checking the hardness of your water in accordance with the table below. WATER HARDNESS German degrees (°dH) 0÷4 5÷9 10 ÷ 22 23 ÷ 29 30 ÷ 35 36 ÷ 41 French degrees (°dF) 0÷7 8 ÷ 15 16 ÷ 37 38 ÷ 50 51 ÷ 60 61 ÷ 70 SETTING N.
