Always turn off the water tap when your dishwasher is left unattended for any length of time, e.g. when you are away on holiday. Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position. Tipping it upside down during transport could cause salty water to leak into the internal compartment and lead to the formation of rust.
Disposing of packaging and old machines Disposing of the packaging Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary. Warning! Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous for children and can cause suffocation. You should therefore keep all packaging well away from children.

6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme. Setting the water hardness range The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
Filling with special salt Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very similar. The accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would ruin the water softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you have in your hand really is salt.
The salt refill indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. the function of the dishwasher is not affected.

Adjusting the dose The correct dosage of the rinse-aid should be regulated on the basis of the shine and drying results. For this purpose, set the quantity of liquid by means of the six-position selector (C) located on the inside of the filler opening (minimum quantity is position 1, maximum quantity is position 6).
Wooden platters. Items made from synthetic fibres. Attention! When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof. Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.
The cutlery basket Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards.
The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. To move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1.
Use of detergent Attention! Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes"...
