Starting the dishwasher

2.Press the ON/OFF button: The ON/OFF indicator light and the display 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.

8.At the end of the cycle, the display shows END. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap 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 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 in 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, in order to change the wash cycle 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 and open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the Start/Pause button: The cycle will start again after a long beep has been emitted.

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 button 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 or 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 is restored.

*Only available in selected models.

Measuring out the detergent

 

GB

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.

 

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.When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment B comprises a level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent that can be added to each cycle.

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.

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.
