[. . . ] • To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance). The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see adjacent information). [. . . ] Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers. Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended. The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option. To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used. Compartment A: Washing detergent Compartment B: Pre-wash detergent 1. Pour in the detergent after consulting the Table of wash cycles: • For powder detergent use compartments A and B. C • For detergent in tablet form: when the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the compartment and close the cover until it clicks. D A B Modifying a wash cycle in progress If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off with a long beep. To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that: 1 tablespoon = 15 grams of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 grams of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid * The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation standard AS/NZS 2007. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less energy and is less harmful to the environment. Note for Test Laboratories: for information relating to comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: ASSISTENZA_EN_LVS@indesitcompany. com 7 Rinse aid and refined salt EN Only use products specifically designed Do not use table salt washing up liquid. or industrial salt, or given on the packaging. level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5* see Water hardness table). (Salt cap with green float*) It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the container. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener beyond repair). When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed. The use of refined salt is not necessary for Eco wash cycle. Measuring out the refined salt 8 * Only available in selected models. Care and maintenance Shutting off the water and electricity supplies Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly. - Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water. - Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into position. • Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks. • Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. • The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. • Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. Cleaning the dishwasher Cleaning the filters The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash. The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the filter is loose. • After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below: 1. [. . . ] • Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle. • To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature. Disposal • Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. • The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle.
