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 results;
- 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.
Use the “½ load wash” option (if available) for washing small amounts of dish-
es; it saves water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack
selected for the ½ load wash; the other rack must remain empty. 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.
