Operating sequence
1. Check the filters
Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning").
2.Check that there is rinse aid and salt
3.Load the dishes
Remove any scraps of food.
Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans, plates and cutlery in it.
Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates, saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.
Slide the baskets back into the machine.
4.Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
5.Measure out detergent
Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser according to the indications in the "Washing programmes" chart.
Close the detergent dispenser lid.
6.Close the dishwasher door
7.Set the programme
Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the number of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the programme marker.
8. Start the programme
Depress the On/Off push button.
The "Mains On" indicator light will come on and the machine will start.
If you wish to interrupt the washing programme at any time press this button again.
9. At the end of the washing programme
At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop.
The "Mains On" indicator light remains on until the On/Off push button is depressed.
10. Switch off the dishwasher
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.
Wait 15/20 minutes before opening the dishwasher’s door; in this way you will avoid burning yourself removing the dishes and avoid also the damage of the nearby furniture caused by the escape of steam.
Open the door.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.
Important!
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.
