3.Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent

(see Measuring out the detergent).

8.At the end of the cycle, the display shows End of Cycle.

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 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.

*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 if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

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

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

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.

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, liquid rinse aid and salt should be used.
