Loading the racks Tips Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockeryandemptyliquidsfromglassesandcontainers.No preventive rinsing is needed under running water.Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwardsandtheconcave/convexpartsplacedobliquely,thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket.Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic or stainless-steel dishes.Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely. Lower rack The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes orinahorizontalposition(lower)toloadpansandsaladbowlseasily.

• Only available in selected models. Measuring out the detergent A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution. Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid detergent.In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly. For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box.For further questions please ask the detergent producers' Advice Offices.To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub. WhenmeasuringoutthedetergentrefertotheTableofwashcyclestoaddtheproperquantity.CompartmentB comprises alevelshowingthemaximumquantityofliquidorpowderdetergent that can be added to each cycle. Removedetergentresiduesfromtheedgesofthedispenserand close the cover until it clicks.3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the wash cycle.If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.DO NOT USE washing-up liquid.Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended. The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid and salt should be used.

performing maintenance work. Cleaning the dishwasher

• The externalsurfaces

controlpanelcan be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.• Any marks

removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. Preventing unpleasant odours

order avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.• Clean

detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours. Cleaning the sprayer arms Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush.The two sprayer arms may both be removed.To remove the upper sprayer arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards. Cleaning the water inlet filter* If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly. - Turn off the water tap.- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.

into position. Cleaning the filters The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash.Clean the filters regularly.The dishwasher should not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.•Afterseveralwashes,checkthefilterassemblyandifnecessaryclean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:
