Turning on the Appliance, Starting a wash cycle

Turning on the Appliance

Starting a wash cycle....

1.Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall socket.

2.Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.

3.Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading the Dishwasher").

4.Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid").

5.Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in the clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle setting is aligned with the reference mark (see the section entitled, "Wash Cycle Table").

6.Press the ON-OFF botton, and the ON-OFF light will turn on. At this point, the wash cycle will begin.

Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting...

Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent").

Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON light will turn off. Rotate the knob in the clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting (see the section entitled, "Starting a wash cycle..."). Then, turn the dishwasher back on using the ON- OFF button.

If you forget to load some of the dishes...

The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF button. You can then load additional dishes and turn the appliance back on. The cycle will start where it left off.

At the end of the wash cycle...

When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP mark (see figure), the cycle has

finished. Turn off the appliance using the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door of the

dishwasher.STOP Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the

dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons

PLUS 65°C Button

This button (see "Close-up View - Control Panel", letter "E") is used with the normal cycle in the case where pots and pans with dry caked-on food must be washed.

This is not recommended for delicate items in so far as the high temperatures could make their surfaces opaque or lighten decorative colors after repeated washing.

Rapid 50°C Button

This button (see "Close-up View - Control Panel", letter "F"), when pressed with wash cycle 4 (glassware) makes it possible to run the wash cycle at a lower temperature (50°C) and eliminates the drying phase.
