[. . . ] Wash with soaking cycle If setting the Intensive wash programme, a second dose of about 20 gr of detergent (1 table-spoon) must be added to the machine in the prewash section of detergent compartment (2). This dose should be placed directly in the prewash section of detergent compartment (2). 14 15 If you select a programme with a prewash cycle, the performance will be improved by adding a small amount of detergent during this part of the cycle. IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED DETERGENTS If you are planning to use combined detergents i. e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following: - read carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions given on the packaging; - some combined detergents, particularly those with built in rinse agent, provide best results when used with specific programmes; - the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging. In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause: - limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher; - a reduction in washing and drying performance. Should this occur, we would recommend using traditional separate products ­ salt, detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly. Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again. NOTE Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty. Cleaning the filters 1 The filter system (fig. A "4") consists of: a central container that traps the larger particles. a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse. To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash. Remove the gauze filter (fig. 3) and wash the whole unit under a jet of water. With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, maintenance is reduced and the filter unit need only be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged. NB: after cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled and that the gauze filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher. Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, as poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance. Warning: never use the dishwasher without the filters. 2 Filling the rinse aid container 4 3 FULL EMPTY The rinse aid container can be found to the right of the detergent container: it has a capacity of about 130 ml (fig.
