[. . . ] Connecting the water inlet hose • To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection. €¢ To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance ). [. . . ] At the end of the cycle two short beeps will sound and the DRYING indicator light will flash. Turn the knob anti-clokwise to RESET in order to reset all the settings. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Open the door and wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Modifying the duration of a wash cycle already in progress If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: turn the knob anti-clockwise until it reaches the RESET position. After a few seconds one long beep and three short beeps, the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator light will switch off: select the new cycle. Adding extra crockery Press the ON/OFF button and open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the ON/OFF button again: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted. Accidental interruptions If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply is restored. Loading the detergent A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer. If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1, etc. ) and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2. Loading the refined salt In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled: 20 The default setting of the water softening system is +. ) fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +. Care and maintenance Shutting off the water and electricity supplies • Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks. €¢ Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning the machine and when carrying out maintenance work. Cleaning the filters The filters remove food residue from the water used in the wash cycle: to obtain the best results from each wash, they should be cleaned. After cleaning check that the filter assembly has been replaced correctly. Clean the filters: • after every wash cycle, remove the largest pieces of residue from semicircular plate A and glass B (these may be removed by pulling the handle) by rinsing them under running water. [. . . ] Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes • We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. €¢ Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle. €¢ To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of the crockery. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances that may alter the balance of nature. [. . . ]
