How to start a wash cycle

Starting and setting the cycle.

Turn the cycle selector "M" until the reference notch on the knob corresponds with the symbol or number of the cycle you wish to set (consult the wash cycle table contained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance).

After a few seconds, a beep indicates the wash cycle has started and indicator "G" displays the symbol corresponding to the phase with which it has begun. The counter "L" will indicate the estimated amount of time left until the end of the wash cycle.

Do not expect a precise countdown as the wash cycle starts with an estimated cycle time that is updated as the cycle progresses and according to a number of parameters that affect the cycle itself (such as water hardness, the tempera- ture of the water, the degree of soil, etc.).

You want to wash on one rack only? Remember to use half the amount of detergent.

If you only have a few dishes to wash, you can load these onto one rack only, saving on both water and electricity. Press button "I", a beep will sound and indicator "N" appears on the display. Each time you press the button, a beep will

sound and symbol corresponding to the upper rack or

symbol corresponding to the lower rack will appear. If you press the button once more, the selection will be reset and the dishwasher will consequently wash on both racks. To use the racks correctly, we recommend you read the chapter entitled "Loading the dishes".

Cycle phase under way indicator

Your dishwasher is equipped with an indicator "G" comprising 4 symbols which represent the different phases of a wash cycle. When the wash cycle has started, the display will indicate the phases under way in sequence.

You've left out a dish?

You can interrupt a wash cycle by pressing the "ON-OFF" button, then place the forgotten dishes into the appliance, which will start up from where it was interrupted when you turn it back on.

There's been a power failure? Have you opened the dishwasher door?

The wash cycle stops and then restarts when the electricity comes back on or when you shut the door.

How to programme extra drying.

If you want your dishes to be perfectly dry, follow the instructions below.

Set the knob to RESET and make any specific settings, such as:

-upper or lower rack

-delayed start

Start the wash cycle by turning the knob and open the

appliance door. Observe symbol for drying: it will flash

for about 4 seconds, while the word "OFF" appears on the display (extra drying disabled).

If you press button "I" immediately, you will hear a prolonged beep and the word "ON" will appear on the display: the extra drying has been enabled.

Once you have made your selection, shut the appliance door; a beep will sound and the wash cycle will either start immediately or after the delay, wherever set.

Remember that with extra drying, the wash cycle will last longer, to provide you with drier dishes.

At the end of the wash cycle

At the end of the wash cycle, 2 beeps are sounded and the word END flashes. Bring the selector back to the RESET position, and the 3 dashes for programming cancellation will appear.

Turn the appliance off by pressing the ON-OFF button, turn off the water tap and open the door. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes: this way you won't have to handle them while they're still hot and they will dry better. Empty the bottom rack first.
