[. . . ] 4. Fundamental rules to follow when using the appliance: - Never touch the dishwasher when barefoot or with wet hands or feet; - We discourage the use of extension cords and multiple sockets; - During installation, the power supply cord must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened; - If the appliance is not operating properly or maintenance must be performed, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. 5. Keep detergents out of the reach of children, who must also be kept away from the dishwasher when it is open. 6. This appliance cannot be installed outdoors, not even if the area in which it is installed is covered by a roof; it is also very dangerous to leave it exposed to the rain and elements. 8. Do not lean or sit on the door when it is open, as this could overturn the dishwasher. [. . . ] F 4 5 GB Turning on the Appliance How to start a wash cycle After performing all the operations described in the previous chapters, turn the water tap on completely, press ON-OFF button "A"; you will hear a short beep and indicator light "B" will come on. The display turns on and 3 dashes appear: these indicate that the appliance is awaiting instructions. Turn the cycle selector "M" until the reference notch on the knob corresponds with the symbol or number of the cycle you wish to set (consult the wash cycle table contained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance). After a few seconds, a beep indicates the wash cycle has started and indicator "G" displays the symbol corresponding to the phase with which it has begun. The counter "L" will indicate the estimated amount of time left until the end of the wash cycle. Do not expect a precise countdown as the wash cycle starts with an estimated cycle time that is updated as the cycle progresses and according to a number of parameters that affect the cycle itself (such as water hardness, the temperature of the water, the degree of soil, etc. ). If you only have a few dishes to wash, you can load these onto one rack only, saving on both water and electricity. Press button "I", a beep will sound and indicator "N" appears on the display. Each time you press the button, a beep will sound and symbol corresponding to the upper rack or symbol corresponding to the lower rack will appear. If you press the button once more, the selection will be reset and the dishwasher will consequently wash on both racks. To use the racks correctly, we recommend you read the chapter entitled "Loading the dishes". Drying 15 gr. * GB 8 Energy Saving Tips - It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the hold cycle. - Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty they are. - Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the environment. - There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils before placing them in the dishwasher. How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape After Every Wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside. 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. [. . . ] 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. Levelling the Appliance Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher, making it level. This dishwasher model can be built-in under the one worktop, and it therefore comes provided with an instructions sheet. [. . . ]
