Unloading the dishwasher

•Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.

The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appli- ance.

•Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

•Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

CAUTION!

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is un- plugged and the water tap turned off.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

IMPORTANT!

NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. In- correct repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results.
