The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery ar-

rangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the

front of the lower rack.

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as

glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the

crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. 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

Measuring out the detergent Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution.The amount can be adjusted to the soil level.In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 25g (powder detergent) or 25ml (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.Open the detergent dispenser using button D and measure out the detergent according to the Table of wash cycles:•powderorliquid:compartmentsA(washdetergent)andB(pre-wash detergent) •tablet:whenthecyclerequires1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close cover C; when it requires 2 tablets, place the second tablet on the bottom of the appliance.Removedetergentresiduesfromtheedgesofthecompartmentand close cover C until it clicks. 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 TAB 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 residues remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended. To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.

Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycletoavoidleaks.

• Alwaysunplugthe appliance when cleaning it and when

performing maintenance work.

Cleaning the dishwasher

• Theexternalsurfacesofthemachineandthecontrolpanel

can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been

dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive

• Anymarksontheinsideoftheappliancemayberemoved

using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.

Preventing unpleasant odours

• Alwayskeepthedooroftheapplianceajarinordertoavoid

moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.

• Cleanthesealsaroundthedoorand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 spray arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the spray 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 spray arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper spray arm,

turn the plastic locking ring in an

anti-clockwise direction. The upper

spray arm should be replaced so that

the side with the greater number of

holes is facing upwards.

The lower spray arm can be removed

by pressing on the side tabs and

Cleaning the water inlet hose

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.

-Re-placethefilterandscrewthewaterhoseback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 must be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in
