Starting a wash cycle
After having completed all of the installation steps in the preced- ing paragraphs, turn on the water to the unit, partially open the door of the dishwasher, and press the
At the end of the wash cycle...
The end of the cycle will be indicated by a double acoustical signal and the blinking of the "F" indicator light. Open the door, turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF switch and turn off the water supply to the unit. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes so as to avoid handling them while still hot (when they are more susceptible to breakage) and to get better drying results.
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down. |
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out. |
- The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that |
larger or more pots and pans can be loaded. |
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.B) so that only |
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This |
also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be |
placed in the upper rack. |
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the |

Setting and Starting a wash Cycle
Choose the desired cycle by pressing the cycle selection button "G". Each time it is pressed, one of the cycle indicator lights "F" will come on in succession.
Choose the wash cycle you feel is most appropriate for the type of dishes that need washing (consult the wash cycle table con- tained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance). Close the door and after a few seconds, a short acoustic signal will sound indicating that the wash cycle has begun and cannot be modified. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled, "Cancel- ling or modifying a cycle while underway. "The end of the cycle will be signalled by a double acoustic sound, and the indicator light "F" will begin to blink.
Setting The Start Delay Time
Open the door of the dishwasher partially. If the "J" button is pressed (see,
Each time the button is pressed, the "I" light will blink indicating the length of the delay.
After selecting the delay time, the wash cycle can be set, as explained in "Starting a wash cycle..." , close the door and at this point the delay period will begin to count down. During this pe- riod the delay indicator light (I) will come on. At the end of the delay time, the indicator will turn off and the cycle will start.

should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe- |
cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at |
the front of the upper rack. |
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs lo- cated on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.C).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom
basket.

Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required(see fig.D).
Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you the freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and out of harm’s way (see fig.E).

Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway...
Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time.
Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the para- graph entitled, "Loading the Detergent").
To change the cycle currently underway, open the door and press the
To set a new wash cycle, follow the instructions contained in the paragraph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle."
If you forget to load some of the dishes...
The wash cycle can be interrupted by opening the door carefully (in order to avoid being sprayed by hot water). When the door is closed again, the cycle will automatically restart at the point where it left off.
NOTE:
a)During the delay period, none of the settings can be modified. If necessary, they can be cancelled by pressing cycle selector "G" for about 5 seconds.
b)If the power to the appliance goes off or the door is opened during the delay period, the clock will stop the countdown. It will start again when the power has come back on, or when the door has been closed.
