It is possible to change the programme selection simply pressing the push button of another programme within 6 seconds.
Once the programme has started the phase indicator lights will turn off except for the phase under way.
6. Interrupting/cancelling a washing programme in progress
Change or interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLY if it’s absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully.
To interrupt a washing programme in progress
a)Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
b)Press the On/Off push button (in this case all the indicator lights turn off). Press the On/Off push button again; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
To cancel a washing programme in progress
A programme in progress can be cancelled at any time. Press for about 3 seconds the push button of the running programme until all indicator lights are off.
Only the On/Off indicator light will remain illuminated. It is now possible to select a new washing programme.
7. Setting/cancelling the "Delay start"
The setting of the delay start occurs before selecting the programme.
Setting the "Delay start"
Press the "delay start" push button until the indicator light corresponding to the chosen hours flashes (3, 6 or 9 hours).
Press the push button corresponding to the required washing programme; the indicator light corresponding to the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights for that programme start flashing.
From the moment that the washing programme has been set, the delay start will begin with the countdown.
The countdown will decrease with step of 3 hours. During the countdown, the indicator light of the selected programme and the indicator light of the number of hours to the start of the programme will remain illuminated. Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will start automatically, the indicator lights for delay start turn off and the indicator light of the phase underway illuminates.
Cancelling the "delay start"
It is possible to cancel a countdown in progress or before it starts, simply pressing the delay start push button until the indicator lights corresponding to the delay start hours are off.
In this case the selected washing programme will start automatically after 6 seconds.
8. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and the end of programme phase indicator light will illuminate.
The indicator light of the programme just ended will remain on.
The dishwasher has finished the programme only when the end of programme indicator light (END) is illuminated. If you do not wait for the end of the programme it will not be possible to start a new programme until the previous programme has been cancelled.
(For instructions on how to cancel a programme see the corresponding instructions).
If during the drying phase (DRY indicator light illuminated) the dishwasher door is opened or the On/Off push button is pressed, the running programme is automatically cancelled and the machine returns to setting mode (in this case it is possible to select a new programme without cancelling the previous)
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.
