2.Press the ON/OFF button: the display will light up.
3.Measure out the detergent (see below).
4.Load the racks (see Loading the racks) and shut the door.

7.Start the cycle by pressing the START/RESET button: the machine will emit a confirmation beep. The WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator lights display the status of the cycle: Pre- wash, Wash, Rinse, or Drying.
8.At the end of the cycle three short beeps will sound and END will appear on the display. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.
9.Open the door and wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.
Demo*
If dON appears on the display, this means that the appliance is in demonstration mode. To deactivate it, press the START/ RESET and ON/OFF buttons simultaneously: dOF should appear on the display.
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 ON/OFF button and open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the ON/OFF 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.
To obtain the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be
used.

Washing options
Delayed start
It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle for a period of time between 1 and 24 hours.
1.Press the DELAYED START button: every time the button is pressed, the time selected appears on the display and the delayed start indicator light illuminates.
2.Select the wash cycle and press the START/RESET button: after the beep sounds, the timer begins counting down. 3.Once this time is up, the indicator light switches off and the wash cycle begins.
To adjust the delay time and select a lower period of time, press the DELAYED START button. To cancel it, press the button repeatedly until the wash cycle begins and the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator light corresponding to the start of the cycle in progress illuminates.
Half load using the upper rack*
If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half load cycle may be used in order to save water, electricity and detergent. Before selecting the wash cycle press the HALF LOAD button repeatedly: the indicator light will illuminate and the wash cycle will take place only in the upper rack.
Remember to load the upper rack only, and to reduce the amount of detergent accordingly.
It is better to use powder detergent in this case.
Extra drying*
To make sure that the crockery is completely dry at the end of the cycle, press the EXTRA DRYING button before selecting the wash cycle. A prolonged beep will sound to indicate that this option has been selected and a short beep will sound to indicate when it has been deselected.
If the Extra drying option is selected, the wash cycles will last longer.
