	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 using the Soak cycle

(see Wash cycles).

•Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash cycles:

-for dishes with a normal soil level use the Eco wash cycle, which ensures low energy/water consumption levels.

-If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half

Load option* (see Start-up and use).

•If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity-saving time bands, run wash cycles when electricity prices are lower. The Delayed

Start button * (see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

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. 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 appropriatequantitiesbasedonthemanufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water, the soil level and the quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature.

*Only available in selected models.

Installation and Assistance

	EN			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.Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

2.Arrange the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance

can also be recessed under a single worktop* (see the Assembly Instruction sheet.)

3. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance should 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.

4*. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it (see Building-in Instruction sheet attached to the documentation.)

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The dishwasher should not stand on the water hoses or electricity supply cable.

The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses.

Never use old or second hand hose sets. Do not reuse hose sets from any previously installed dishwasher.

The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

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 supplied 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.)

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table (see adjacent information.)

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm.

The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).

Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug (B).

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees anti-flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut, as it contains live electrical parts.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

•The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations.

•the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door

(see Description of the appliance);

•The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards (see Assistance.)

* Only available in selected models.

Anti-condensation strip*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack, if any. Immediately before the fist washing, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

Assistance

Before contacting Assistance:

•Check whether the problem can be resolved using the

Troubleshooting guide (see Troubleshooting).

•Restart the programme to check whether the problem has ceased to exist.

•If the problem persists, contact the Authorised

Technical Assistance Service.

Never use the services of unauthorised technicians.

Please have the following information to hand:

•The type of malfunction.

•The appliance model (Mod.).

•The serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the appliance data plate

(see Description of the appliance).

The machine has a buzzer/set of tones (depending on the dishwasher model) to inform the user that a command has EN been implemented: power on, cycle end etc. *

The symbols/indicator lights/LEDs on the control panel/ display may vary in colour and may have a flashing or fixed light (depending on the dishwasher model).

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. Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket.

Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic or stainless-steel dishes.

Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

	Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*.				EN
	They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes
	or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls
	easily.

Cutlery basket

The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.

Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.

*Only available in selected models with different numbers and positions.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.

Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*.

They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.

7

	EN	Tip-up compartments with adjustable position
		The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three
		different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside
		the rack.
		Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments
		by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.

Cutlery tray*

Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum washing performance, avoid positioning bulky crockery directly below the tray.

The cutlery tray can be removed (see Figure).

Before loading the tray, make sure the supports are properly coupled to the upper rack

(see Figure).

Theupperrackcanbeadjustedforheightbasedonrequirements: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments/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.

The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.

NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.

If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device* (see figure), lift it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.

Unsuitable crockery

•Wooden crockery and cutlery.

•Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.

•Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.

•Copper and tin crockery.

•Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number

of wash cycles too.

Damage to glass and crockery

Caused by:

•Type of glass and glass production process.

•Chemical composition of detergent.

•Water temperature of rinse cycle.

Tips:

•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.

* Only available in selected models.

8.At the end of the wash cycle the END indicator light will go on (fixed light). Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.

9.Wait a few minutes before removing the crockery to avoid getting burnt. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.

- The machine will switch off automatically during long periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity consumption.

Changing a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made in the wash-cycle selection process, it is possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun: once the wash cycle has started, in order to change the wash cycle switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/ OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and select the desired wash cycle and options.

Adding extra crockery

Press the Start/Pause button and open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the Start/Pause button: The cycle will start again after a long beep has been emitted.

If the delayed start has been set, at the end of the countdown the wash cycle will not start. It will stay in Pause mode.

Press the Start/Pause button to pause the machine; the wash cycle is stopped.

At this stage the wash cycle cannot be changed.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle or 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 restored.

* Only available in selected models.

	Measuring out the detergent
		EN
	A good wash result also depends on the correct
	amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated
	amount does not result in a more effective wash and
	increases environmental pollution.

Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid detergent.

In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box.

For further questions please ask the detergent producers' Advice Offices.

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.

Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

1.When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment B comprises a level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent that can be added to each cycle.

2.Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.

3.Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the wash cycle.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.

Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.

DO NOT USE washing-up liquid.

Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.

The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid and salt should be used.

Rinse aid and refined salt

EN			Only use products which have been specifically designed
		for dishwashers.
		Do not use table/industrial salt or washing-up liquid.
		Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add any rinse aid. However, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where 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 stay lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off the surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

•When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light* on the control panel is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available for 1-2 cycles;

A	X
M

1.Open the dispenser “D” by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid;

2.Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3.Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid. Switch the dishwasher on and off using the ON/OFF button. Press the Start/Pause button 3 times; switch on the machine using the ON/OFF button and access the adjustment menu - the rinse-aid indicator light is lit

(set to factory level).

Adjust the level of rinse aid supply using the WASH CYCLE SELECT knob. There is a rinse aid level for each wash cycle (0 to 4 max).

Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.

•If there are streaks on the crockery, set a low number (1-2).

•If there are drops of water or limescale marks, set a high number (3-4).

Setting the water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed specially for this type of appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery.

This dishwasher has a setting that helps reduce pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water

hardness level in your area. Ask your local water supplier for this information.

- Switch on the dishwasher using the ON/OFF button, wait a few seconds and switch it off using the ON/OFF button. Hold down the Start/Pause button for min. 3 seconds; switch on the machine using the ON/OFF button and access the adjustment menu - the salt indicator light is lit.

-Select the desired level using the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob

(1 to 5* Max.)

(water softener set to medium level).

Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.

Even if using multi-functional tablets, fill the salt dispenser.

For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not recommend the use of salt. * a setting of 5 may increase cycle duration.

** 1 wash cycle per day.

(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness measured in French degrees – mmol/l = millimoles per litre)

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the salt 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:

•When the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser;

•When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel

is illuminated *;

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew

the cap (anticlockwise).

2. The first time you do this: fill the water

tank right up to its edge.

3. Position the funnel* (see figure) and

fill the salt dispenser up to the edge

(approximately 1 kg). It is normal for a

little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residues away from the opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out of the four slots (star-shaped arrangement) in the lower part of

the cap (cap with green float*).

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the dispenser.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed.

Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
•	Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.
•	Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when
	performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
•	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.
•	Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed
	using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.
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 seals, which is the main cause behind the
	formation of unpleasant odours.
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore
recommended that you check the arms from time to time and
clean them with a small non-metallic brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.
	To remove the upper sprayer arm,
	turn the plastic locking ring in an
	anti-clockwise direction. The upper
	sprayer arm should be replaced
	so that the side with the greater
	number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower sprayer arm can be

removed by pressing on the side

tabs and pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter*

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 impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

-Turn off the water tap.

-Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.

-Re-place the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

	Cleaning the filters
			EN
	The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food
	residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
	They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results
	in every wash.
		Clean the filters regularly.
		The dishwasher should not be used without filters or if the
	filter is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1.Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (fig. 1).

2.Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (fig. 2);

3.Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter A. (fig. 3).

4.Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER

REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (fig.4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

Leaving the machine unused for extended periods

•Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut off the water tap.

•Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

•When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.

* Only available in selected models.

Ahorrar y respetar el medio ambiente

Ahorrar agua y energía

•Poner en funcionamiento el lavavajillas sólo con plena carga. A la espera de que la máquina esté llena, prevenir los malos olores con el ciclo Remojo (ver Programas).

•Seleccionar un programa adecuado al tipo de vajilla y al grado de suciedad consultando la Tabla de programas:

-para la vajilla con suciedad normal utilizar el programa Eco, que garantiza un bajo consumo energético y de agua.

-si la carga es reducida, activar la opción Media carga* (ver Puesta en funcionamiento y uso).

•Si el suministro de energía eléctrica prevé horarios de ahorro energético, realizar los lavados en los horarios con tarifa reducida. La opción Inicio diferido* (ver Puesta en funcionamiento y uso) puede ayudar a organizar los lavados en ese sentido.

Detergentes sin fosfatos, sin cloro y con contenido de enzimas

•Se aconseja utilizar detergentes sin fosfatos y sin cloro, que son los más indicados para proteger el medio ambiente.

•Las enzimas ejercen una acción particularmente eficaz con temperaturas próximas a los 50°C, por lo tanto, utilizando detergentes con enzimas se pueden elegir lavados a bajas temperaturas y obtener los mismos resultados que si se realizaran a 65°C.

•Para evitar derroches, dosificar el detergente correctamente, teniendo en cuenta las indicaciones del fabricante, la dureza del agua, el grado de suciedad y la cantidad de vajilla. Aún siendo biodegradables, los detergentes contienen elementos que alteran el equilibrio de la naturaleza.

Cargar los cestos

Sugerencias

Antes de cargar los cestos, eliminar de la vajilla los residuos de alimentos y vaciar los vasos y las copas. No es necesario aclarar la vajilla con agua corriente.

Disponer la vajilla de manera que quede firme y no se vuelque. Los recipientes deben colocarse con la abertura hacia abajo y las partes cóncavas o convexas en posición oblicua, para permitir que el agua alcance todas las superficies y fluya.

Asegurarse de que las tapas, las asas, las sartenes y las bandejas no impidan la rotación de los rociadores. Colocar los objetos pequeños en el cesto de los cubiertos.

La vajilla de plástico y las sartenes antiadherentes tienden a retener las gotas de agua, por lo que quedarán menos secas que las vajillas de cerámica o acero.

Es conveniente colocar los objetos livianos (por ejemplo, los recipientes de plástico) en el cesto superior, de modo que no puedan moverse.

Una vez terminada la carga, comprobar que los rociadores giren libremente.

Cesto inferior

El cesto inferior puede contener ollas, tapas, platos, ensaladeras, cubiertos, etc. Los platos y las tapas grandes se deben colocar preferentemente a los costados.

	Algunos modelos de lavavajillas tienen sectores reclinables*,				ES
	que se pueden utilizar en posición vertical, para colocar platos,
	u horizontal, para colocar ollas y ensaladeras.

Cesto de los cubiertos

El cesto de los cubiertos tiene rejillas superiores para facilitar la disposición. El cesto se debe colocar sólo en la parte delantera del cesto inferior.

Los cuchillos y los utensilios con puntas cortantes se deben colocar con las puntas hacia

abajo o en los cestos adicionales del cesto superior en posición horizontal.

Cesto superior

Cargar la vajilla delicada y liviana: vasos, tazas, platitos, ensaladeras bajas.

Se recomienda poner la vajilla muy sucia en el cesto inferior, donde los chorros de agua son más enérgicos y permiten obtener mejores prestaciones de lavado.

Algunos modelos de lavavajillas tienen sectores reclinables*, utilizables en posición vertical para colocar platitos de té o de postre, o en posición horizontal para colocar escudillas y recipientes.

* Presente sólo en algunos modelos.

21

	ES	Cestos adicionales de posición variable
		Los cestos adicionales laterales se pueden colocar a tres alturas
		diferentes para optimizar la disposición de la vajilla en el cesto.
		Las copas se pueden colocar de forma estable en los
		cestos adicionales, introduciendo el pie en las ranuras
		correspondientes.

Bandeja para cubiertos*

Algunos modelos de lavavajillas poseen una bandeja deslizable que se puede utilizar para contener cubiertos para servir o tazas de pequeñas dimensiones. Para mejores prestaciones de lavado, evite cargar vajilla voluminosa debajo de la bandeja.

La bandeja para cubiertos se puede extraer. (ver la figura)

Antes de cargar la bandeja, controle que los soportes estén bien enganchados en el cesto superior. (ver la figura)

* Presente sólo en algunos modelos.

El cesto superior es de altura regulable según las necesidades; la posición más alta facilita la disposición de vajillas voluminosas en el cesto inferior; la posición más baja permite aprovechar los espacios de los cestos adicionales y los sectores reclinables creando más espacio hacia arriba.

Regular la altura del cesto superior

Para facilitar la colocación de la vajilla, el cesto superior se puede ubicar en posición alta o baja.

Es preferible regular la altura del cesto superior con el CESTO VACÍO.

No levantar ni bajar el cesto de un solo lado.

Si el cesto tiene Lift-Up* (ver la figura), sujetarlo por los costados y levantarlo. Para volver a la posición inferior, pulsar las palancas (A) a los costados del cesto y acompañarlo hacia abajo.

Vajillas no aptas para el lavado en lavavajillas

•Cubiertos y vajillas de madera.

•Vasos decorados delicados, vajillas artesanales y antigüedades. Las decoraciones no son resistentes.

•Partes en material sintético no resistentes a la alta temperatura.

•Vajilla de cobre o estaño.

•Vajilla sucia de ceniza, cera, grasa lubricante o tinta.

Las decoraciones sobre vidrio, aluminio y plata durante el lavado pueden cambiar de color o descolorarse. Ciertos tipos de vidrio

(por ejemplo, los objetos de cristal) después de muchos lavados pueden perder brillo.

Daños al vidrio y a la vajilla

Causas:

•Tipo de vidrio y procedimiento de producción del vidrio.

•Composición química del detergente.

•Temperatura del agua del programa de aclarado. Consejo:

•Utilizar sólo vasos y porcelana cuya resistencia al lavado en lavavajillas esté garantizada por el fabricante.

•Utilizar detergente delicado para vajilla.

•Sacar los vasos y los cubiertos del lavavajillas lo más pronto posible al finalizar el programa.
