[. . . ] Loading the Salt into the Softener Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows: 1. Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container; 2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water; 3. [. . . ] If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting. B C A C Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser. F GB 4 Loading the Dishwasher Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the larger food particles 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. How to Use the Lower Rack We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, 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. - Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket (see figure A) with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets the spoons should be loaded individually in the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. The top rack is designed to hold delicate and light items, such as glasses, tea and coffee cups, and saucers, as well as plates, shallow serving bowls, and pans (as long as they are not too dirty). - Place these types of items so that they are not moved around by the spray of water. The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights (top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom position and then insert it along the guides until the front wheels are on as well. Remove the Plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers. When You Go on Holiday When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance. Moving the Appliance If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. Seals One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occuring. GB 8 Cleaning and Special Maintenance Filter Assembly For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. [. . . ] If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug, rather than using adpators or the like as they could cause overheating and burns. GB 10 Electrical Connection Electrical Connection If your appliance is supplied with a 13 amp. THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Replacing the fuse: When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. [. . . ]
