PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

(Use in conjunction with programme guide)IMPORTANTThe dishwasher has two very practical functions:

-the "recommended" programme (which is ideal for full load daily use) for quick and accurate selection;

-the "Auto’ Memory", function saves any programme used at least 3 times consecutively, so that if you regularly use the same washing cycle you do not have to continually set the programme thereby saving time and effort.

Programme settings

■Open the door and place the dirty dishes inside the appliance.

■Press the "ON/OFF" button .

■After pressing the "ON/OFF" button, the indicator light which is factory set at "recommended”, or the indicator light for the “Auto Memory” programme will flash.

The length of the program will be shown on the display alternating hours with minutes [I.e: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].

■To select an option, press the corresponding button (the indicator light will light up).

Option buttons must be pressed BEFORE starting the programme for them to be accepted.

■To choose another programme, press the corresponding button (the relevant indicator light will flash to confirm the selection).

■To start the programme, press the selected programme button again to confirm. The programme starts automatically, the relevant indicator light will stop flashing and remain on and the cycle length will appear on the display.

If the previously described operations were performed with the door open, the programme will not start until the door is closed.

Programme interruption

Opening the door when a programme is running is not recommended especially during the main wash and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a programme is running (for example, to add dishes) the machine stops automatically and the display will flash the remaining time before the end of the cycle. Close the door, without pressing any buttons. The cycle will start from where it left off.

IMPORTANT

A running programme can be interrupted without opening the door by pausing the dishwasher.

To pause, hold the running programme button down for at least 2 seconds and release when the corresponding indicator light starts flashing.

Simply press the programme button again to restart the cycle from where it left off (the indicator light will stop flashing and remain on).

WARNING!

If you open the door during the drying cycle, an audible audio signal advises you that the drying cycle has not yet finished.

Changing a running programme

Proceed as follows to change or cancel a running programme:

■Hold down the current programme button (with the indicator light on) for at least 5 seconds. All programme indicator lights will turn on for one second. The running programme will be cancelled and the corresponding indicator light will start to flash. The display will go blank and the programme end indicator light will turn on in the display.

■At this point a new programme can be set.

WARNING!

Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser.

If necessary, top up the dispenser.

If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

Programme operations

When a programme is running, the time until the end of the cycle will be displayed and the 4 “PROGRAMME STATUS” indicator lights ("WASH", "RINSE", "DRY", "END") will light singularly and in sequence to indicate the current phase.

Programme end

The display will go blank and the last “PROGRAMME STATUS” indicator light will light to indicate that the cycle has ended.

A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted) 3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that the programme has ended. The programme end indicator light will light up and the display will go blank.

Dishes can now be removed and the dishwasher turned off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded for a new cycle.

Option buttons

IMPORTANT

All options MUST be turned on or off, BEFORE starting the programme.
"TIME SAVER" button

The "TIME SAVER" button provides over 20% time and energy savings by reducing the final water heating and drying times during the last rinse cycle.

This option is recommended for light soil washes, and for when the dishes are not required perfectly dry straight away.

If you want to get better drying, we advise to leave the dishwasher door slightly ajar at the end of the cycle, to allow for a natural circulation of air inside the dishwasher.

“3 in 1” button

This option optimises the use of “3 in 1” combined detergents. By pressing this button, the selected washing programme is modified to get the best performance from combined detergents; furthermore, the salt and rinse aid shortage lights are de-activated.

WARNING!

Once selected, this option keeps being on (light on) also for next washing cycles and it can be de-activate (light off) only by pressing the button once again.

IMPORTANT

When this option is selected, the "RAPID" cycle is 10 minutes longer.
"HALF LOAD" button

In response to your everyday washing requirement in addition to the normal wash functions this dishwasher is equipped with the “HALF LOAD” function. This function enables the uses to wash a reduced number of dishes yet retaining the freedom of loading them both on the top and bottom basket.

When this function is activated the dishwasher will automatically reduce the water and energy consumption and the wash time. When selecting the “HALF LOAD” ensure a reduced amount of detergent is used.
