Starting a washing programme

1.Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms are free to rotate

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 at which it was interrupted.

Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. There is risk of scalding.

2.Turn on the water tap

3.Press the On/Off button

The On/Off indicator light illuminates.

4. Setting and starting the programme

Select the washing programme and delay start with the door slightly opened. The start of the programme or the countdown of the delay start will occur only after the closure of the door. Until that moment it is possible to modify the set made.

To select a programme, press the button of the programme you wish to select, (see "Washing programmes" chart), the indicator light of the button illuminates and in the digital display will appear, flashing, the running time of the programme that has been set (in minutes).

The Wash indicator light illuminates.

Close the dishwasher’s door, the programme starts automatically.

In the digital display the running time of the programme will no longer flash, the Wash indicator light remains illuminated.

Setting and starting the programme with the delay start

After having selected the washing programme press the delay start button until the flashing number of the hours for the delay start will appear in the digital display (from 1h to 19h).

Close the dishwasher’s door, the countdown starts automatically.

The countdown will decrease with steps of 1 hour. The opening of the door during the countdown will not modify the delay start.

Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will start automatically.

Note: With the delay start function set, the Wash indicator light is off. Once the countdown of the delay start has elapsed, the washing programme will start automatically and the Wash indicator light will illuminate.

Note: the selection of the washing programme and delay start can also occur with the door closed. Keep in mind that in this way, once a washing programme button is pressed you have ONLY 3 seconds in which you can choose another programme or select a delay start, after which the selected programme will start automatically.

5. To interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress

Interrupt or cancel 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.

b)Press the On/Off button, in this case all the indicator lights turn off. Press the On/Off button again; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.

Cancel a washing programme in progress

To cancel a washing programme you have to reset the dishwasher; press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds. After about 2 seconds all the indicator lights will turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually the rinse aid and salt indicator lights) indicating that the running programme has been cancelled.

If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.

6. To cancel a delay start

To cancel a delay start in progress you have to reset the dishwasher; follow the same instructions given in "To cancel a washing programme in progress". Cancelling a delay start involves also the cancelling of the washing programme set. In this case you have to set the washing programme again.

7. End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop.

The Wash indicator light turns off.

The End indicator light is illuminated.

The indicator light of the programme just ended will remain on.

In the digital display appears 0, only in this case the programme has ended.

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.

Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

8. 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.

Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
