[. . . ] • To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance). The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see adjacent information). [. . . ] • For detergent in tablet form: C when the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance.

Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the appliance. Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted. If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start* function (if selected) is interrupted. At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle. Accidental interruptions If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or once the electricity supply is restored. * Only available in selected models. 7 Wash cycles EN 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. The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model. Wash cycle selection instructions Wash cycle Detergent (A) = compartment A (B) = compartment B Powder Liquid Tablets Wash cycles which include drying Wash cycle duration (tolerance ±10%) Hrs. Min. Heavily soiled dishes and pans (not to be used for delicate items). 1. Intensive 30 g (A) 30 ml (A) 1 (A) Yes 2:15’ Normally soiled pans and dishes. Pre-wash for dishes while awaiting completion of the load with the dishes from the next meal. Environmentally-friendly wash cycle with low energy consumption levels, suitable for pans and dishes. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener beyond repair). When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed. Adjusting the amount of rinse aid If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): • If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device to a lower number (1-3). • If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). Setting the water hardness Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery. This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained from the organisation which supplies your household with water. - Set the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob first to wash cycle 5, then to wash cycle 1, then to wash cycle 5 again. - Press the ON/OFF button; the wash cycle phase (washing, * Only available in selected models. 9 Care and maintenance EN • Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks. • Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. • The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. • Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. Shutting off the water and electricity supplies Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly. [. . . ] • The door should not be left open as it may create a dangerous obstacle. • The packaging material should not be used as a toy. Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes • We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. • Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with lowtemperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle. • To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of crockery to be washed.
