Washing programmesStarting a washing programme

1. Check that the baskets have been

loaded correctly and that the spray

arms can rotate freely

2. Turn on the water tap

3. Close the dishwasher door

4. Setting and starting the programme

Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the letter
of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the
programme marker on the control panel (see "Washing
programmes" chart).
Press the On/Off push button; the On/Off indicator light will
illuminate and the programme will start automatically.

5. To interrupt a washing programme in

progress

Interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLYif it’s
absolutely necessary
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. Open the door carefully.
●Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.
Close the door; the programme will start from the point in
which it was interrupted.
●Press the On/Off push button (in this case the On/Off
indicator light turns off). Press the On/Off push button
again; the programme will start from the point in which it
was interrupted.

6. End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push
button, the On/Off indicator light turns off.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing the
dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be
improved.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.

Unloading the dishwasher

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from
the appliance.
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.
