Loading the Dishwasher Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the large food particle to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance. If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycle. Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher. Lower Rack Upper Rack How to Use the Lower Rack We recommend that you place the items which are the most difficult to clean items on the lower rack:pots , lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. - The silverware basket can be doubled(see fig. A) so that only one section may be used when the silver ware load is light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans on the bottom rack. - Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom;if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. Load for 12 Standard Settings How to Use the Upper Rack The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans(as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water. The upper rack can be adjusted for height. (see fig. B) 1 2 3 4 fig. A fig. B . 5.

GB Installation Positioning the Appliance Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation. Drain Hose Connection Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. Use the speical plastic support that comes with the appliance (see fig . 2). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water. Levelling the Appliance Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2 . If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance. Cold Water Connection Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig. 1/ A). Some models have an "Acquablock" water supply pipe (see fig. 1/B) with filter in the threaded inlet. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance. fig. 2 Hot Water Connection The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 . In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. [. . . ]
