Nomenclature of fi gures and tables:

The progressive number of each fi gure is shown in the bottom right-
hand corner of the relative box. An example of a progressive number
is “Fig. 4-01”, where the fi rst number (4) indicates the section to
which the fi gure belongs, while the second number (01) indicates
the progressive number of the fi gure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is the
fi rst fi gure in section 4). The tables are numbered in the same way,
bearing in mind that “Tab.” is

used instead of “Fig.” (e.g.: Tab. 4-01
is the fi rst table in section 4). If a table occupies more than one page,
a letter is added after the progressive number (e.g.: “Tab. 4-01a”,
Tab. 4-01b”).

RESPECT

• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.

• Do not wash the dishes under a running tap.

• Use the most suitable washing program for each type of load.

• Do not pre-rinse.

• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water system with a tempera-

ture of up to 60°C (140°F).

• When possible, skip the drying cycle by opening the door after washing:

the air and the residue heat will dry the dishes to perfection.
