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: press and hold the START/RESET button for 4 seconds. After one long beep and three short beeps, the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator light will switch off. Select the new cycle and switch the machine back on by pressing the START/RESET button.

Adding extra crockery

Press the STANDBY button and open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the STANDBY button again: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply is restored.

Loading the detergent

A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a more effective wash and pollutes the environment.
