Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Before using your dishwasher for the first time 1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions Adjusting the dose 2.
Using your appliance Loading your appliance The upper basket Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. 3. Always close the lid. 4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent over the lid of the dispenser.

Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 10. Switch off the dishwasher Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button and open the door. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. 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. 2.
Maintenance and cleaning The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. Internal cleaning Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.
