Saving energy and respecting the environment Saving water and energy • Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle (if available, see Wash Cycles). • Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level using the Table of Wash Cycles: - For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels.
Installation GB If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back. Positioning and levelling 1. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating. 2.

Refined Salt and Rinse Aid GB Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt. Follow the instructions given on the packaging. If you are using a multi-function product, we recommend that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard or very hard. (Follow the instructions given on the packaging.) If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will remain lit.
Loading the racks Tips Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No preventive rinsing is needed under running water. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
GB Third rack The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure. The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low position to make the most of the tip-up dispensers/sectors by creating more space upwards. Adjusting the height of the upper rack In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower position.

Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution. 1. Turn the water tap on. 2. Press the ON/OFF button. 3.
