	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 long
	periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity
	consumption.
			AUTO WASH CYCLES*:some dishwasher models are
	equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
	the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient
	and economical wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto
	wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.
	Changing 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 display shows PAUSE. Open
	the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the
	crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the Start/Pause button: the
	cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.
			If the delayed start has been set, at the end of the countdown
	the wash cycle will not start. It will stay in Pause mode.
			Press the Start/Pause symbol to pause the machine; the
	wash cycle is stopped.
	At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.
	Accidental interruptions
	If the door is opened during the wash cycle, the text CLOSE THE
	DOOR appears on the display. 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 the electricity supply 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.

Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid detergent.

In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent considerably.

For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box.

For further questions please ask the detergent producers' Advice Offices.

If the detergent dispenser is still closed, use the closing device “A” to open it.

Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

1.Pour in the detergent after consulting the Table of wash cycles: The dosage-level divisions in the detergent dispenser helps introduce the right amount.

2.Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.

3.Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the wash cycle.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.
