HINTS AND TIPS GENERAL Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and to help you protect the environment. • Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into the waste bin. • Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, select a programme with a prewash phase. • Always use the whole space of the baskets. • Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes. • You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multitablets (e.g. ''All in 1''). Follow the instructions on the packaging. • Select a programme according to the type of load and the degree of soil. offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption. THE WATER SOFTENER The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a detrimental effect on the washing results and on the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales. The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. It is important to set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results. USING SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT • Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance. • In areas with hard and very hard water we recommend to use plain dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, tablets containing no additional agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.

At least once a month run the appliance with the use of appliance cleaner which is particularly suitable for this purpose. Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets with long programmes. Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU WANT TO STOP USING MULTI-TABLETS Before you start to use separately detergent, salt and rinse aid do the following procedure. 1. Set the highest level of the water softener. 2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are full. 3. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing phase. Do not add detergent and do not load the baskets. 4. When the programme is completed, adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area. 5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid. 6. Activate the rinse aid empty notification. LOADING THE BASKETS • Only use the appliance to wash items that are dishwasher-safe. • Do not put in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper. • Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths). • Remove remaining food from the items. • Make soft the remaining burned food on the items. • Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening down. • Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond together. Mix spoons with other cutlery. • Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses. • Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move. • Make sure that the spray arm can move freely before you start a programme. 27

BEFORE STARTING A PROGRAMME Before you start the selected programme, make sure that: • The filters are clean and correctly installed. • The cap of the salt container is tight. • The spray arms are not clogged. • There is enough salt and rinse aid (unless you use multi-tablets). • The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct. • The programme is suitable to the type of load and the degree of soil.

The correct quantity of detergent is used.

UNLOADING THE BASKETS 1. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it from the appliance. Hot items can be easily damaged. 2. First remove items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket. After the programme is completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.

CARE AND CLEANING WARNING! Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the main socket.

Dirty filters and clogged spray arms decrease the washing results. Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean them.

CLEANING THE FILTERS B A C

Make sure that there are no residues of food or soil in or around the edge of the sump. Put back in place the flat filter (C). Make sure that it is correctly positioned under the 2 guides. Reassemble the filters (A) and (B). Put back the filter (A) in the flat filter (C). Turn it clockwise until it locks. An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and damage to the appliance

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS Do not remove the spray arms. If the holes in the spray arms are clogged, remove remaining parts of soil with a thin pointed object.

EXTERNAL CLEANING • Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth. • Only use neutral detergents. • Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.

INTERNAL CLEANING • Carefully clean the appliance, including the rubber gasket of the door, with a soft damp cloth. • If you regularly use short duration programmes, these can leave deposits of grease and limescale inside the appliance. To prevent this, we recommend to run long duration programmes at least 2 times per month.

To maintain the performance of your appliance at its best, we recommend to use monthly a specific cleaning product for dishwashers. Follow carefully the instructions on the packaging of the product.

TROUBLESHOOTING If the appliance does not start or it stops during operation, first check if you can solve the problem by yourself with the help of the information in the table or contact an Authorised Service Centre.
