• Let the dishes become cold before you remove them from the appliance. Hot dishes can be easily damaged.

• First remove the items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket.

• There can be water on the sides and on the door of the appliance. Stainless steel becomes cool more quickly than the dishes.

The water softener Hard water contains a high quantity of min- erals that can cause damage to the appli- ance and bad washing results. The water softener neutralises these minerals. The dishwasher salt keeps the water soft- ener clean and in good conditions. It is im- portant to set the right level of the water softener. This makes sure that the water softener uses the correct quantity of dish- washer salt and water. Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.

• The rinse aid helps, during the last rinsing phase, to dry the dishes without streaks and stains.

• Combi detergent tablets contain deter- gent, rinse aid and other added agents. Be sure that these tablets are applicable to the water hardness in your area. Refer to the instructions on the packaging of the products.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent de- tergent 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 in- structions on the detergent packaging. Loading the baskets Refer to the supplied leaflet with exam- ples of the load of 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.

• To remove easily remaining burned food, soak pots and pans in water before you put them in the appliance.

• 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 oth- er glasses.

• Put the small items in the cutlery basket.

• Put the light items in the upper basket. Make sure that they do not move.

• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme. Before starting a programme Make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly instal- led.

• The spray arms are not clogged.

• The position of the items in the baskets is correct.

• The programme is applicable for the type of load and for the degree of soil.

• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid (unless you use combi detergent tablets).

• The cap of the salt container is tight.

Warning! Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Dirty filters and clogged spray arms de- crease the washing results. Make a check regularly and, if neces- sary, clean them. leonard 31Cleaning the filters

1. Turn the filter (A) counterclockwise and

To disassemble the filter (A), pull apart (A1) and (A2).

Remove the filter (B).

positioned under the 2 guides (C).

Assemble the filter (A) and put it back in filter (B). Turn it clockwise until it locks. An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and dam- age 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.
