TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

 

Always try to run the dishwasher

 fully loaded

.

 

Do not wash the dishes in running water.

 

Use the washing program that is 

most appropriate

 for each type of

load.

 

Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.

 

If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to
60°C.

 

When possible, 

skip the drying cycle

 by leaving the door open

when the washing cycle is complete; the air and the residual heat
will dry the dishes perfectly.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to
save on electricity, observe the following:

 

separate 

the more delicate items from dishes that are more

resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;

 

do not pour 

 the detergent directly on the dishes.

If it is necessary to open dishwasher door during the washing cycle,
there will be a 

1-minute delay

 before the program can be resumed.

After correctly closing the door, the washing program will start again from
where it was interrupted. This operation may negatively affective the
progress of the washing cycle.

END OF CYCLE

At the end of the washing cycle, a brief acoustic device is sounded and
the

 indicator light for the program

 which has just ended blinks.

To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the 

ON/OFF

button 

(1)

.

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least 

20 minutes 

before

removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower
basket, it is 

advisable 

to unload the lower basket first, and then the

upper basket.
