2. Installation and hook-up

Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.

Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the adjacent units. To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass.

Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.

Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic hob is absolutely forbidden.

A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided there is no break in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob are installed and secured correctly, so that no hazards are generated.

When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided by the appliance's manufacturer (minimum distances, installation procedures, etc.).

For free-standing models only:

• Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely forbidden.
• If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on on side, the door hinge area must be covered for safety reasons (injury hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from specialist dealers or the After-Sales Service.
• To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.

Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the appliance.

2.1 Water supply connection

Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to the appliance.

The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY

Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with 34 " gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your hands and then complete by tightening about 14 of a turn with pliers.

In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring.

Technical diagram showing two mechanical assembly steps with labeled component A and directional arrow

The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60^ C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.

DRAIN CONNECTION

Insert the dishwasher's drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap.

MAX 100 cm min 30 cm min Ø4 cm

The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground.

2.2 Electrical connection and precautions

CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE MAINS MATCH THE RATINGS ON THE NAME PLATE OF THE APPLIANCE POSITIONED ON THE INNER EDGE OF THE DOOR.

THE PLUG ON THE SUPPLY CORD AND THE CORRESPONDING SOCKET OUTLET MUST BE OF THE SAME TYPE AND MEET THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.

THE PLUG MUST BE ACCESSIBLE AFTER INSTALLATION.

IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUPPLY CORD, HAVE IT REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICAL SERVICE CENTRE.

DO NOT USE ADAPTORS OR SHUNT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERHEATING OR BURNING.

IF THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH A PLUGLESS SUPPLY CORD:

IT IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL IN THE FIXED WIRING AN ALL-POLE DISCONNECTION DEVICE HAVING A GAP BETWEEN CONTACTS OF AT LEAST 3.5MM. AFTER INSTALLATION THE DISCONNECTION DEVICE HAS TO BE EASY TO REACH.

THE CONNECTION TO THE MAINS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SCHEME SHOWN BELOW AND THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.

L N 20 mm L = brown N = blue ⊕ = yellow-green

In the event of damage to the supply cord, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an Authorized Technical Service Centre in order to avoid any risk.

FOR GREAT BRITAIN ONLY:

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Fuse replacement

"3/1" OPTION BUTTON

(available in all programs except the soak program)

By pressing the button (8) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as "3 in 1" or "triple action" products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could already be found in the dishwasher.

Note: When selecting the "3/1" button, it is normal that the salt and rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty.

SELECTING HALF LOAD WASH

(available in all programs except the soak program)

This function is ideal for small loads and saves water and electricity. It is controlled by the HALF LOAD (10) button, with two alternatives:

1) Press the button once to select washing in the top basket (the relative light comes on);
2) Press the button a second time to select washing in the bottom basket (the relative light comes on);
3) Press the button a third time to return to the normal full load washing mode (washing in both baskets, both lights off).

When washing in the bottom basket only, the cutlery basket can be divided so that only half is used.

- After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end of cycle.

CHANGING THE PROGRAM

To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically select the new program.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
- Do not wash the dishes in running water.
- Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load.
- Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity, observe the following:

• separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
  • do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it might cause problems in execution of the program.

To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF button (1).

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.

4. Operating instructions

Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows:

• Adjust the water softening system;
• Add the regenerating salt;
• Add the rinse aid and detergent.

4.1 Using the water softening system

The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water.

The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF - 24-31°dH).

SALT

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.

• When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
• Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated.
• Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.

• Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
• When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

4.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers

The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.

Line drawing of a vintage-style refrigerator with front panel and side door (no text or symbols)

With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required.

ADDING THE RINSE AID

The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door.

Line drawing of a mechanical component with a fan and gear (no text or symbols)

To add rinse aid:

• Open the door.
• Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by 14 of a turn and remove it.
• Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
• Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING

The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser's selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position.

• To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
• Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.
• Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.

• The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains.
• If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

ADDING THE DETERGENT

To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully.

During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.

• When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on models).
• Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
• The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
• Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher.
• Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.

- The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.

• Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
• Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.

For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.

- Also available are tablet detergents which state that no salt or rinse aid is required. In some cases, these detergents might not give good results, especially with short and/or low-temperature washing cycles.

If performance problems (e.g. a white coating on the tank or dishes, poor drying, dirt on dishes at the end of the wash) are noted, users are advised to return to conventional products (granular salt, powder detergent and liquid rinse aid).

However, please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again, so traces of white coating may still be found on the tank and dishes. If the problem persists for too long, contact the After-Sales Service.

- When using detergent in tablet form (bear in mind that we recommend the use of three separate products: detergent, salt and rinse aid), place the tablets in the cutlery rack. The dispenser is designed to use powder or liquid detergent and the door does not open completely during the washing cycle. This means that a tablet is not completely dissolved (released), which may lead to the following:

• not enough detergent released during the cycle, with poor washing results;
• the detergent forms a solid block in the distributor and is released during the final rinse cycle.

The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.

4.3 General warnings and recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading.

There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account.

Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:

• remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET.

There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.

Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.

WARNING!

• Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle.
• Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
• Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
• Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other.
• Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.

MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.

Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.
• Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
• Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour.
  • Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available.
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

4.4 Using the baskets

The dishwasher has a capacity of 14 place-settings, including serving dishes.

LOWER BASKET

The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.

The rear of the basket is fitted with a rack to take large plates (A). To use it, simply lift it until it locks in place.

A

In the front there are one or two supports (depending on the models) for small plates (B). To use them, they have to be turned towards the front of the dishwasher.

LOADING THE LOWER BASKET

Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a gap between them.

1 / 2 LOAD

CUTLERY BASKET

Cutlery must be placed with the tips facing downward.

Long items of cutlery (ladles, wooden spoons, kitchen knives, etc.), which might interfere with the upper spray arm must be placed in the upper basket, ensuring that knife tips do not project from the basket.

The cutlery basket features an exclusive system of independent sliding tip-up supports, offering a series of combinations to allow optimum use of the space available.

UPPER BASKET

It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly soiled.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET

Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards. The left-hand side of the basket can be loaded with two layers of cups and glasses. The centre can be filled with plates and side-plates, fitted upright into the supports provided.

Loading examples:

CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER

The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs to be cleaned periodically.

After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake hose back into position.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.

• To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.
- To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the central part.
- To remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.

R ORBITAL

CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT

• It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards;
• push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the micro-filter:
• separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;
• remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE:

• The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush.
• When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or foul the spray arm nozzles.
• It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.
• Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump.

PROLONGED DISUSE:

• Run the soak program twice in succession.
  • Unplug the power cord from the socket.
• Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours inside the washing tank.
  • Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
• Shut off the water supply tap.

BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE:

• Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes.
  • Plug the power cord back into the socket.
• Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.

TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS

In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions:

If the program fails to start, check that:

• the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;
• there is no power failure;
• the water tap is open;
- the dishwasher door is properly closed.

If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:

• the drain hose is not kinked;
• the drain siphon is not obstructed;
• the dishwasher filters are not clogged.

If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that:

• the correct amount of detergent has been added;
• there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
• the dishes are being loaded correctly;
- the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soiling;
- all the filters are clean and positioned correctly;
- the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
• there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:

• there is rinse aid inside the special container;
• the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
• the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).

If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that:

- the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.

If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:

• the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove such marks;
• check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain detergents can be more corrosive than others.
• check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that the water softening setting is correct.

If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.

WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be paid for by the user.

DIAGRAM FOR ESTABLISHING WHETHER THE LONG DOOR DISHWASHER (type "B") is COMPATIBLE WITH THE FITTED KITCHEN FRONTS AND LAYOUT

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE DIAGRAM FOR ESTABLISHING WHETHER THE LONG DOOR DISHWASHER (type "B") is COMPATIBLE WITH THE FITTED KITCHEN FRONTS H820mm: STL827B - STLA828B

STEP1: establishing the height above the floor

H MOD DISHWASHER BASE OF DISHWASHER h FLOOR

h = distance between dishwasher and floor h = (820 mm H)HWASHER
Mark the line of the floor at the distance (h) from the "BASE OF DISHWASHER" line

STEP2: door front dimensions

H MOD DISHWASHER INSIDE OF DOOR e.g. 25.4 17mm e.g. FOOR MIN.L=760mm e.g. 777mm h FLOOR

Draw the thickness of the door front starting from the mark: "INSIDE OF DOOR". Add the difference needed to reach the intended length of the door to the minimum length L_mm = 760 mm

E.g.: L077 mm.

Delta L=LDDOR777-760=17 mm.

Then choose the door front dimension line by selecting the curve closer to the outline of the door front just drawn; the whole of the door front profile must be contained within the curve chosen.

STEP3: plinth positioning

SPACE REQUIRED H_MOD DISHWASHER H_PLINTH PLINTH h FLOOR e.g. 25.4 DOOR MIN.L=760mm e.g. 777mm 17mm e.g. DISTANCE BY WHICH PLINTH IS RECESSED

Mark out the space required (e.g. with a dotted line), i.e. the zone which must be left unobstructed to allow the door to move (this will be all the space above the space occupancy line).

The position of the plinth, in terms of the height of the plinth and the amount by which it must be recessed behind the kitchen front (i.e. the visible part of the door front), can be defined, taking care to avoid the identified area.

H_MOD DISHWASHER BASE OF DISHWASHER h FLOOR

STEP1: establishing the height above the floor

h = distance between dishwasher and floor h = Hc4Vr(820mmx860mm)

Mark the line of the floor at the distance (h) from the "BASE OF DISHWASHER" line

H MOD DISHWASHER BASE OF DISHWASHER INSIDE OF DOOR e.g. 28mm DOOR MIN L##@00mm L##@40mm e.g. (MODEL820) 825 mm - (MODEL860) 865 mm e.g. 25mm h FLOOR

STEP2: door front dimensions

Draw the thickness of the door front starting from the mark: "INSIDE OF DOOR". Add the difference needed to reach the intended length of the door to the minimum length L 800mm = 840mm min(860=)

E.g.: L08252mm:

Delta(25)DobR=825.800=25mm

E.g.: Ld=865mm:

Delta(86)DobR7865.840=25mm

Then choose the door front dimension line by selecting the curve closer to the outline of the door front just drawn; the whole of the door front profile must be contained within the curve chosen.

SPACE REQUIRED H_MOD DISHWASHER BASE OF DISHWASHER h e.g. 28mm DOOR MIN Lm=600mm Lm=846mm e.g. (MODEL320) 825 mm - (MODEL860) 865 mm e.g. 25mm PLINTH PLINTH FLOOR

STEP3: plinth positioning

Mark out the space required (e.g. with a dotted line), i.e. the zone which must be left unobstructed to allow the door to move (this will be all the space above the space occupancy line).

The position of the plinth, in terms of the height of the plinth and the amount by which it must be recessed behind the kitchen front (i.e. the visible part of the door front), can be defined, taking care to avoid the identified area.
