EN

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.

5.Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles) by pressing the P button.

6.Select the wash options* (see adjacent information).

7.Start the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button: a long beep signals the start of the wash cycle and the time remaining until the end of the cycle is displayed.

8.Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of the wash cycle; the wash cycle indicator light flashes and the END indicator light switches on (fixed light). 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 machine will switch off automatically during certain periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity consumption.

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.

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.

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.

The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used.

Compartment A: Washing detergent

Compartment B: Pre-wash detergent

1. Open cover C by pressing button D.

2. Pour in the detergent after consulting the Table of wash cycles:

• For powder detergent use compartments A and B.

•For detergent in tablet form: when the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover;

when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance.

3.Remove detergent residues from the edges of the compartment and close the cover until it clicks.

Wash options*

The OPTIONS may only be set, modified or reset after the wash cycle has been selected and before the Start/Pause button has been pressed.

Only the options which are compatible with the type of wash cycle set may be selected. If an option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle (see Table of wash cycles), the correspond- ing LED flashes rapidly 3 times and 2 short beeps will sound.

If an option is selected which is incompatible with another (previ- ously selected) option, the indicator light corresponding to the option selected first will flash 3 times, 3 beeps will sound and it will be deselected, while the most recently selected option will remain active.

To deselect an option which has been set by mistake, press the corresponding button again.

*Only available in selected models.
