How to load your dishesBefore washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer.Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with toughincrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well

upper racklower rack

First of all.Before placing the dishes in theracks, remove the largest scrapsof food left over on your plates, youwill thus avoid blocking the filter,which would reduce the efficacyof the wash.If the saucepans and frying pansare very dirty, allow them to soakbefore being washed. To make iteasier to load your dishes, pull theracks out.

What goes into thelower rack?We recommend you place the mostdifficult dishes to wash into thelower rack: saucepans, lids, soupdishes and plates (a load exampleis shown in the photo).

� Serving dishes and largelids: place them on the sidesof the rack.

� Saucepans, salad bowls:must always be placed upsidedown

� Very deep dishes: placethem obliquely, thus allowingwater to run down them andcleaning them better

The cutlery basket is equipped withtwo removable grids: insert thecutlery one by one into the slots,with the handles at the bottom.Knives and utensils with sharpblades or tips should be positionedwith the sharp parts at the bottom..Position them so that they don'ttouch.The appliance can also be equippedwith one or two tip-up compart-ments onto which you can placemugs and cups, as well as long sharpknives and serving cutlery.

Load examples

What goes into theupper rack?Place delicate and lightweight di-shes in the upper rack: glasses, teacups and coffee cups, saucers - butplates too - shallow salad bowls,slightly dirty frying pans andshallow pans (the photo illustratesa few examples).Position lightweight dishes in sucha way as to avoid their being mo-ved by the spray of water.After loading the dishes, remem-ber to check that the blades on thesprayer arms can turn freely wi-thout knocking against any dishes.

How to adjust the toprack.The upper rack can be set in highor low position to enable you toorganise your dishes effortlessly.

Open the rail stop flaps and pull therack out completely. Now place it inhigh or low position, then slide italong the guide rails until the frontwheels also go in. Now close the railstop flaps. Follow the sequence ofactions illustrated in figure "F".

Low Salt IndicatorThis green device is located at thecentre of the cap for thedecalcification cartridge and itindicates whether the container isfull.When the indicator is not visible itmeans that the supply of salt mustbe replenished .

Salt adjustmentYour dishwasher can adjust its saltconsumption according to the hard-ness of the water in your home.This way, you can optimise andcustomise your dishwasher's saltconsumption (not too much, nor toolittle).To adjust salt consumption, do asfollows:1. Unscrew the salt container cap2. There is an arrow on the neck of

the container (see figure): ifnecessary, turn the arrow anti-clockwise from the "-" settingto the "+" setting.

Select the arrow positiondepending on the water hardness,referring to the table provided.

You don't knowhow hard thewater in your

home is? Ask thecompany that

supplies water inyour area.

Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home ishard, without water softening, incrustations would form on your dishes. Yourdishwasher is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid oflimescale in the water.

Using your electric household applianceswisely helps you make savings and isgood for the environment.

Savings are easy

Maximum load.To optimise consumption levels, try to use thedishwasher with a full load only. If it takesquite some time to fill up your dishwasher,use the soak cycle to avoid the formation ofbad odours and caked-on food.

The right wash cycle.Select the most suitable wash cycle for thetype of load you have placed in the dishwasher.The choice of wash cycle depends on the typeof dishes to wash and on how dirty they are.To select the right wash cycle, please consultthe wash cycle table on page 17.

How to look after and protectthe dishes you hold dear

■ For particularly delicate dishes,we recommend you use thespecific wash cycle offered byyour dishwasher.

Suggestions and advice for you.

Apart frommaking you savetime and energy,your dishwasherdisinfects yourdishes, washingthem at a hightemperature.

■ Silver plates and serving dishesshould be washed immediatelyafter use, especially if they havecontained salt, eggs, olives,mustard, vinegar, fruit juicesand cooked vegetables.

■ Almost all silverware can becleaned in a dishwasher.There are two exceptions: oldsilverware and silverwaredecorated with an oxidisingagent. Hot water can loosenthe handles on old silverwaread wear off the decorations onthe other.Never let silverware come intocontact with other metals: youwill thus avoid stains andblackening

Cleaning and special maintenanceThe filter assemblyIf you want consistent good resultsfrom your dishwasher, you need toclean the filter assembly.The food particles are removedfrom the wash water, allowing it tobe recirculated during the cycle,filtered perfectly. For this reason,it is a good idea to remove the lar-ger food particles trapped inside thesemi-circular filter A and cup�C�after each wash; to remove thefilter assembly, pull the cup handleupwards. All you need to do is rinsethem under running water.The entire filter assembly shouldbe cleaned thoroughly once a mon-th: semi-circular filter A + cup C +cylindrical filter B+ microfilter D.To remove filter �B�, turn it anti-clockwise. Use a small non-me-tallic brush for cleaning.

Reassemble the filter parts (as sho-wn in the figure) and reinsert thewhole assembly into the dishwa-sher. Position it into its housing andpress downwards.The dishwasher is not to be usedwithout filters. Improper replace-ment of the filters may reduce theefficiency of the wash and evendamage your dishwasher.

Cleaning the sprayerarms.Food residue may becomeencrusted onto the sprayer armsand block the holes where watercomes out. Check the sprayerarms regularly and clean themonce in a while (letters F and I �Howis it made?�).

Cleaning the Water InletFilterPeriodically clean the water inletfilter (see figure 2 under"Installation") located on the outletof the water supply tap. Afterturning off the water tap, unscrewthe end of the water supply hose,remove the filter and clean itcarefully under running water.Then, return the filter to its placeand tighten the water supply hoseback into position.

Once in a while,once a month,spend a little timeon the filterassembly and thesprayer arms.

Keep your dishwasher in shapeRespecting these few rules ensures you will alwayshave a reliable work companion by your side.

After every wash.When the wash cycle has ended,always remember to turn off thewater supply tap and to leave theappliance door ajar. This way,moisture and bad odours will notbe trapped inside.

Unplug the appliance.Before carrying out any cleaningor maintenance on the dishwasher,always remove the plug from theelectricity socket. Do not run risks.

No solvents! No abrasives!To clean the exterior and rubberparts of your appliance, do not usesolvents or abrasive cleaningproducts. Use a cloth dampenedwith lukewarm soapy water only.If there are any stains on thesurface of the appliance interior,use a cloth dampened with waterand a little white vinegar, or acleaning product specifically madefor dishwashers.

Going on holiday?When you go away for an extendedperiod of time, we recommend youdo the following:� run a cycle with the dishwasher

empty� turn off the water inlet tap.� leave the appliance door ajarThis will help the seals last longerand prevent unpleasant odoursfrom forming inside the appliance.

Moving the appliance.Should the appliance have to bemoved, try to keep it in a verticalposition. If absolutely necessary, itcan be positioned on its back.

The seals.One of the factors that causeunpleasant odours to form insidethe dishwasher is food that remainstrapped in the seals. Periodiccleaning using a damp sponge willprevent this from occurring.

Your dishwasher is not a wastedisintegrator!

Do not worry about removing everysingle bit of food residue from your

dishes, but do get rid of bones, peel andrind and any other left-overs before

placing them in the racks. Empty outall glasses and cups.
