**This is a special programme for quick washing a full load of lightly soiled dishes, glasses and crockery (except pots) so that you may re-use them promptly.

Operating sequence

1. Check the filters

Ensure that they are clean and properly positioned. (See "Maintenance and cleaning" - Instruction book - part 1)

2. Check that there is rinse aid and salt

(See "Instruction book" - part 1)

3. Load the dishes

Remove any scraps of food.

Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans, plates and cutlery in it.

Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates, saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.

Slide the baskets back into the machine.

4.Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely

8. Start the programme

Depress the On/Off push button.

The On/Off indicator light will come on and the machine will start.

If you wish to interrupt the washing programme at any time press this button again.

9. At the end of the washing programme

At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop.

The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off push button is depressed.

10. Switch off the dishwasher

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

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.

5. Measure out detergent

Add the detergent into the dispenser according to the dosage quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart.

Close the detergent dispenser lid.

6.Close the dishwasher door

7.Set the programme

Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the letter of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the programme marker.

If necessary select the temperature of the main wash according to the instructions in the "Washing programmes" chart (see "Required push buttons").

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.

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

Attention!

In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.

Important!

Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.
