[. . . ] 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 C 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. -The silverware basket can be doubled (see figure A) so that only one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans, and it can also be placed in the upper 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 loaded individually into the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. 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 top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights (top and bottom). Drying. 4+22gr. * 3) Delicates Wash 50°C Economic, fast cycle to be used for items which are sensitive to higher.

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. [. . . ] Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts. 9 GB Installation Positioning the Appliance Position the appliance in the desired location.

This dishwasher model can be built-in under the one worktop, and it therefore comes provided with an assembly kit complete with an instructions sheet. [. . . ]
