Starting the dishwasher
1.Turn the water tap on.
2.Press the ON/OFF button: you will hear a short beep and the display will light up.
3.Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent (see below).
4.Load the racks (see Loading the racks) and shut the door.

7.Start the cycle by pressing the Start button: a long beep signals the start of the wash cycle; the name of the selected cycle is displayed, along with the time remaining until the end of the cycle.
8.Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of the wash cycle and the text “END OF CYCLE” appears on the display. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water valve and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.
9.Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.
The order in which the different wash cycles are displayed will change according to the frequency with which each cycle is used.
AUTO WASH CYCLES*: this model of dishwasher is equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient and economic wash cycle accordingly.
The duration of the auto wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.
Modifying a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: once the wash cycle has started, switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and select the desired wash cycle and options.
*Only available in selected models.
Adding extra crockery
Press the Start/Pause button (the corresponding indicator light will flash). Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the appliance. Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle will restart after a prolonged beep is emitted.
If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start function (if selected) is interrupted.
At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or once the electricity supply is restored.
Measuring out the detergent
A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution.
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used.
