[. . . ] If it was damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. EN Precautions and advice This appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following information has been provided for safety reasons and should be read carefully. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, make sure the manual is kept with the machine. [. . . ] Adjusting the height of the upper rack In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower position. The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY. Cutlery tray* Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum washing performance avoid positioning bulky crockery directly below the tray. If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device* (see figure), lift it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down. € Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures. The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Tips: • Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe. € Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over. *Only available in selected models with different numbers and positions. 22 Detergent and dishwasher use 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. In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35g (powder detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent). 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. To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”. Press the ON/OFF button: all the indicator lights on the control panel will light up for a few seconds. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent (see EN Measuring out the detergent). Select the wash cycle by turning the WASH CYCLE SELECT knob clockwise: align the notch on the knob with the number or symbol representing the desired wash cycle. Start the cycle by pressing the START button; the indicator light will stop flashing and stay lit in a fixed manner. The indicator light corresponding to the wash phase will switch on, signalling that the wash cycle has begun. [. . . ] Cleaning the spray arms The lower spray arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards. After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher. Leaving the machine unused for extended periods 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. [. . . ]
