The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply. DRAIN CONNECTION Insert the dishwasher's drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap. The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground. 2. 2 Electrical connection Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet, according to the instructions given in chapter "1. Safety and operating instructions". User instructions 3. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: Adjust the water softening system; Add the regenerating salt; Add the rinse aid and detergent. 3. 1 Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction. Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam. ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser's selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position. The setting must be increased when the washed dishes appear dull or have circular staining. To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it. Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position. The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains. If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting. User instructions ADDING THE DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically. When a INTENSIVE program is selected, in addition to the normal dose of detergent, it is necessary to add an additional amount inside compartment G or H. Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. [. . . ] After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly. User instructions CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it.
