USING YOUR DISHWASHER
Opening the door
Put your hand into the recess and push upwards.
If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety
device automatically switches everything off.
For the machine to work properly, the door should not be
opened while it is in operation.
Closing the door
Place the baskets in the machine.
Make sure that both the spray arms are free to rotate and are not
obstructed by cutlery, crockery or pans.
Close the door, pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.
Preliminary operations and cleaning the filters
Every time the machine is used, before you wash the pots, you should pass the filters
under a wide open water tap, brush them as necessary with a small laundry brush to
remove dirt and examine them carefully. In this fashion you can get the best washing
results. To remove filters, grip the whole filter (fig. 9 "B") by the handle and lift it up.
The central filter cup may be removed to assure easy cleaning.
Very little maintenance work is necessary for this model equipped with Self-
cleaningMicrofilter and the filter assembly should be inspected once fortnightly.
After each wash, make sure that the central filter cup is not clogged.
Beware: after you have cleaned the filters, make sure that they are fitted together
correctly and that the filter plate is fitted properly to the bottom of the appliance.
The appliance will not work properly when the filter assembly is fitted incorrectly.
Important: do not use the dishwasher without the filter.
The filtration system is made up of:
- The central cup, which retains the coarsest
dirt.
- The filter plate, that filters the dish water
continuously.
- The microfilter, under the filter plate which
traps even the smallest specks of dirt to en-
sure excellent rinsing.

Loading dishes
To load dishes
For good washing results it is important to remove any remains
from the dishes (bones, tooth picks, the remains of meat and
vegetables) to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing
arm nozzles and, as a result, reduce washing efficiency.
Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dish-
washer.
If saucepans and oven dishes are particularly encrusted with the
remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak
before washing.
Using the upper basket
The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the
sides of the basket which can be regulated in two positions:
upright and lowered. In the lowered position the racks may be
used for tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Glasses
with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.
Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert plates may be loaded
under the racks.
Soup plates and ordinary plates may be loaded with the rack in
the upright position.
Plates should be loaded vertically with the bottom of the plate
towards the back of the dishwasher with a space between each
plate to allow water to pass freely.
It is advisable to load plates of the same size together in order
to utilize maximum basket capacity.
Plates may be loaded in a single row (Fig. 1) or on both rows
(Fig. 2).
It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 270 mm.) slightly
tilted towards the rear to facilitate introduction of the basket into
the machine.
Salad bowls and other plastic bowls may also be loaded on the
upper basket. It is advisable to block these in place so that the
jets of water do not make them overturn.
The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility
in use and can be loaded with up to 24 plates on two rows, up
to 30 glasses on five rows or a mixed load.
Using the lower basket
Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad bowls, lids, serving
dishes, dinner plates, soup plates and ladles can be loaded on
the lower basket.
Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery holder with the handles
pointing upwards.
Place the cutlery holder on the lower basket (fig. 3), making sure
that the cutlery does not get in the way of the rotating arms.
