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: once the wash cycle has started, switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and select the desired wash cycle and options.

Adding extra crockery

Press the Start/Pause button (the corresponding indicator light will flash). Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the appliance. Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle will restart after a prolonged beep is emitted.

If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start function (if selected) is interrupted.

At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.

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 once the electricity supply is restored.

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution.

Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.

DO NOT USE washing up liquid.

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.

The OPTIONS may only be set, modified or reset after the wash cycle has been selected and before the Start/Pause button has been pressed.

Only the options which are compatible with the type of wash cycle set may be selected. If an option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle (see Table of wash cycles), the correspond- ing LED flashes rapidly 3 times and 2 short beeps will sound.
