[. . . ] We recommend the amounts shown in the programme chart on the next pages. After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. All the programmes with prewash require a small amount of detergent of approximately 5g to be poured in the WRD dispenser. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution. 32 C B 65 4 3 According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dose, position 6 maximum dose). For the INTENSIVE programme If this programme, suitable for particularly dirty pans and dishes, is selected, an extra 10g of detergent must be placed in the Washing Roto Dispenser (WRD) located in the centre of the upper basket (10g of detergent is about 1 level dessert spoon). BR04 A Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. Caution: Do not put liquid detergent into the rinse aid compartment. DE04 Use of Detergent Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the rinse and hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser. Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine washing and hamper correct functioning of the machine. Pull out the basket and add detergent. Phosphate free detergents with enzymes These new detergents, although welcome from an ecological point of view, react far more susceptibly to water hardness than conventional products. Therefore, in order to avoid white lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub, you should add salt in the water softener even if the hardness of your water is as low as 4° dH (7 TH°), when using these new detergents. PBR12GB 24 M M IN AX 1 21 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. UI07 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. The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. 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. To lower the prongs: slightly pull them upward and let them drop down UI18 (see picture); to bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. 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. UI22 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 US26 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 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. US27 PCE13GB 25 Caution When loading the dishes, ensure that you do not cover the water inlet funnel in the middle of the upper basket. 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. When the top basket is in the higher position it will RC04 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. US04 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. HELPFUL HINTS For Best Washing Results: Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. [. . . ] Since WRD also ensures correct distribution of the water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it will impair the washing results. Caution: the dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. PMA09GB 29 Prolonged Periods of Non-Operation If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: unplug the appliance and turn off the water; fill the rinse aid dispenser; leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of unpleasant smells; leave the inside of the machine clean. Frost Precautions Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. [. . . ]
