The order in which the different wash programmes are displayed will change according to the frequency with which each cycle is used.

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: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off with a long beep. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle using the SELECT WASH CYCLE button; start the cycle by closing the door.

Adding extra crockery

Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: 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.

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct		EN

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.
	To achieve the best results from each washing

and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid
liquid and salt should be used.
