PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

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

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

-the memory function which saves the last programme used, so that if you regularly use the same washing cycle, you do not have to re-set the programme every time, thereby saving time and effort.

Programme settings

■Open the door and place the dirty dishes inside the appliance.■Press the "ON/OFF" button .

The indicator light for the "recommended" programme or the indicator light for the last programme used 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 choose another programme, press the corresponding button (the relevant indicator light will flash to confirm the selection).

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

The option buttons can be selected or deselected WITHIN one minute of the programme commencing.

■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.

WITHIN one minute of the programme commencing, another programme can be selected, simply by pressing the corresponding button.

“AUTOMATIC” programme

The dishwasher is equipped with a dirt sensor, able to analyse water murkiness during "AUTOMATIC" programme phases (see program list); thanks to this sensor the washing cycle parameters are automatically adapted to the real quantity of dirt on dishes. Thus excellent washing results are guaranteed while optimising water and energy consumption.

"IMPULSE" programmes

The “IMPULSE” programmes use an impluse washing technology, which reduces consumption, noise and increases performances.

IMPORTANT

The “intermittent” working of the washing pump MUST NOT BE considered a malfunction, it is a characteristic of the impulse washing so must be considered a normal function of the programme.

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 program can be interrupted without opening the door by pressing the "ON/OFF" button. In this case, simply press the "ON/OFF" button again to restart the cycle from where it left off.

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.

The programme indicator lights will flash and some audible signals will sound.

■The running programme will be cancelled and the indicator light for the “recommended” programme will start to flash.

■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.

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.

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 end

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

“ALL IN 1” button

This option optimises the use of “ALL in 1” (“3 in 1”/ “4 in 1”/“5 in 1”, etc...) 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.
"POWER JET" button

The "POWER JET" option always guarantees the best results by more effectively dealing with heavier soiling. By using this option, the strength of the selected cycle will be increased, adding one rinse and increasing the temperature and water pressure in the washing phase where foreseen.

This option is recommended for very dirty dishes or when dirty dishes may not have been pre-treated allowing the soiling to dry up.

IMPORTANT

With this option selected the “IMPULSE” wash is turned off.
"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.
