Start-up and use

Starting the dishwasher

1.Turn the water tap on.

2.Open the door and press the ON/OFF button.

3.Measure out the detergent. (see adjacent information).

4.Load the racks (see Loading the racks).

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 Special wash cycles and

Options).

9.Wait 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.

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.

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: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start the cycle by closing the door.

Adding extra crockery

Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

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 restored.

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.
