3.Close the dishwasher door

4.Press the On/Off button

The On/Off indicator light will come on.

5. Setting and starting the programme

Press the button corresponding to the required programme (see "Washing programmes" chart).

The indicator light corresponding to the programme and the phase indicator lights foreseen for that programme will start blinking.

After about 3 seconds from the last pressure of a button the programme starts automatically.

Once the programme has started the phase indicator lights will turn off except for the phase under way.

Note: it is possible to select a washing programme also with the door slightly opened.

In this case the start of the programme will occur after the closure of the door.

a)Press On/Off button.

b)Select a washing programme.

c)Close the door.

The programme or the countdown will start automatically after about 3 seconds from the closure of the door.

6. To interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress

Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress ONLY if it’s absolutely necessary.

Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully.

To interrupt a washing programme in progress

a)Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.

b)Press the On/Off button (in this case all the indicator lights turn off). Press the On/Off button again; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.

To cancel a washing programme in progress

To cancel a washing programme in progress, press simultaneously the function buttons 2 and 3 until all the indicator lights will turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually the rinse aid and salt indicator lights) indicating that the running programme has been cancelled.

(If a new washing programme will be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser).

7 . End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop and the END phase indicator light will illuminate.

The indicator light of the programme just ended will remain on.

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button, the On/Off indicator light turns off.

Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

8. Unloading the dishwasher

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
