Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwasher. We recommend the use of Finish detergents which are available in the following options. Each tablet has the exact amount of detergent required, simply place in the dispenser. Finish Powder recommended for every day use. Finish Liquid Gel ideal for every day use. As the gel is extra gentle it is recommended for fine bone china. PBR20GB Phosphate free detergents with enzymes These new compact powders are generally phosphatefree. As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even If the hardness of your water is as low as 6 Clarke degrees. This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub. 9 M M IN AX 1 Loading your Machine Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc. ) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Use of the Lower Basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc. Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely. The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart. To reassemble, reverse the procedure. UI07 The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. UI39 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 To lower the prongs: slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture); to bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. UI18 UI21 Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upward. Mix spoons with the other cutlery to prevent them sticking together. Teaspoons may be loaded into the special slots provided in the cutlery basket handle. PCE18GB After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 10 Use of the Upper Basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cupracks. Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position as follows: - pull out the basket; - grasp it on the two sides and pull it upwards until the mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable. RC04 When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup-racks. To put the basket back in the lower position, grasp the two sides, pull upwards again, then allow the basket to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it. Warning: never lift or lower the basket on one side only. US13 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. US12 Caution When loading the dishes, ensure that you do not cover the water inlet funnel in the middle of the upper basket. US16 US16 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. PCE22GB 11 HELPFUL HINTS To save energy Do not prewash dishes under running water.
