[. . . ] Recommendations are given for the correct use of the baskets, spray arms, containers, filters, washing programs, and for operating the controls. Following the cleaning instructions provided here will keep your dishwasher's performance at peak levels in the long term. This user-friendly manual will provide answers to all your questions about use of the dishwasher. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: these are intended for the qualified technician who must carry out the installation, hook-up and testing of the appliance. USER INSTRUCTIONS: these consist of recommendations for using the appliance, a description of its controls and of the correct cleaning and maintenance procedures. 1 Safety instructions 1. [. . . ] The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness. Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results. The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. - Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60C. - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55C) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65C using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents. 24 User instructions "3/1" Products If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid, check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the "3/1 option button" on the "Controls description" page and then refer to the section which explains how to use this function. If the button is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional washing cycles "3/1" products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes. The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 4. 3 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom. Depending on the models, the basket may be equipped with some or all of the following accessories: Plate racks, which can be laid flat when not in use (e. g. To stow the racks flat, pull them upward and turn them towards the inside of the basket. Anti-drip inserts which improve the drying of dishes. They may be supplied fitted on the basket or in the accessories bag; in this case, to use them, simply fit them into place as shown. 27 User instructions Supports for cups and long objects (ladles, spoons, etc. ), in the rear; can be tipped to the vertical position when not in use.

LOADING THE LOWER BASKET Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a gap between them. Loading examples: 29 User instructions TOP CUTLERY BASKET The basket is designed to take cutlery, placed in the spaces provided, and long utensils, positioned lengthwise. The "drawer" extraction system makes the basket easier to load, but it can also be taken completely off its runners by removing the retainers (as shown here). Take great care to replace the retainers to ensure that the basket does not come off the runners accidentally. 30 User instructions CUTLERY BASKET The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery should be inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass between them effectively. The top grids and central lid are in the bag of accessories. [. . . ] Bei einer elgenmchtigen Verlngerung des Wasserzufuhrschlauches trgt der Hersteller keine weitere Verantwortlichkelt.
