ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery
and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand 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.
Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the spray-
er arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher
washing performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can
rotate freely.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
• When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufac-
turer's instructions, washing tableware in a dishwasher usually
consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing.
• In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency it is recommended to
initiate the wash cycle once dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading
the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the man-
ufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Information
on correct loading of tableware can be found in Loading chapter.
In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash
options if available (Multizone), fiilling up only selected racks. Incor-
rect loading or overloading the dishwasher may increase resources
usage (such as water, energy and time, as well as increase noise level),
reducing cleaning and drying performance.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and
energy consumption and is not recommended.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the machine.
CLEANING THE DISHWASHER
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be
removed using a cloth dampened with water and a
little vinegar.
The external surfaces of the machine and the control
panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth
which has been dampened with water. Do not use
solvents or abrasive products.

PREVENTING UNPLEASANT ODOURS
Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture
from forming and being trapped inside the machine.
Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly
using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the se-
als, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.

CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of im-
purities before performing the necessary connections. If this precau-
tion is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage
the dishwasher.

HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the
dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least one a
month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to
clean your appliance.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high
washing temperatures.
• Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dish-
washer. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents
used may damage them.
• Plastic dishes: these are not heat resistant and may lose their shape.
Heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose
their colour.
• Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be
washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crys-
tal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings.
Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive
program available.
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are
generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although
the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the
fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a
time for approximately one month.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY
• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as
dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash
cycle is over.
CHEKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged,
replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or
your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the
colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should
be replaced.
For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection window
(see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the
hose must be replaced by a new one.
For unscrewing this hose, press the release button while unscrewing
the hose.
