WARNING: SOME DISHWASHER DETERGENTS ARE STRONGLY ALKALINE. THEY CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF SWALLOWED. AVOID CONTACT WITH THE SKIN AND EYES AND KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. CHECK THAT THE DETERGENT RECEPTACLE IS EMPTY AFTER COMPLETION OF THE WASH CYCLE.
Safety instructions DO NOT DRINK THE WATER RESIDUES WHICH MAY BE PRESENT INSIDE THE DISHES OR DISHWASHER AT THE END OF THE WASHING PROGRAM AND BEFORE THE DRYING CYCLE. LEANING OR SITTING ON THE DISHWASHER DOOR WHEN OPEN MAY CAUSE THE APPLIANCE TO OVERTURN, PUTING PEOPLE AT RISK.
Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance.
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60° C . Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness.

Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening. When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.

User instructions Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser’s selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position.
Page 27
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.
Page 28
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading.

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 crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available.
