USER INSTRUCTIONS EN

•When using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery basket. The dispenser has been designed for powder or liquid detergent. As the cover does not open completely during the washing cycle, tabs are not fully released (dis- solved). This could generate the following problems:

-insuffi cient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing re- sults;

-the detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during the fi nal rinse cycle.

THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID DISPENSER, EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE DISH- WASHER.

4.3 General warnings and recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the fi rst time, it is advisable to read the follow- ing recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the racks it is necessary to:

•remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fi sh-bones, etc. which may clog the fi lter or damage the wash pump;

•soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER RACK.

There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.

WARNING!

•make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle;

•do not place very small objects in the racks as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump;

•containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to al- low the water to drain out;

•do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other;

•do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.
