Start-up and use
Starting the dishwasher
1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button: you will
hear a short beep and the display and option indicator
lights witch on.
3. Measure out the detergent (see below).
4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks).
5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of
crockery and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles), by
pressing the P button.
6. Select the wash options (see adjacent information).
7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: a long beep
signals the start of the wash cycle.
8. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of
the wash cycle and the wash cycle number flashes on the
display. Open the door, 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 certain
periods of inactivity, in order to minimize electricity
consumption.
AUTO WASH CYCLES*: this model of dishwasher is
equipped with a special sensor which can be used to
assess the level of soiling and automatically select the
most efficient and economic wash cycle accordingly.
The duration of the auto wash cycles may vary due to
the operation of the sensor.
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.
Modifying 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: open the door, avoiding the escaping
steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the
machine will switch off with a long beep. Switch the
machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the
new wash cycle and any options desired; start the cycle by
closing the door.
Adding extra crockery
Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking
care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery
inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts
from the point at which it was interrupted.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or 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
once the electricity supply is restored.
Measuring out the detergent
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.
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, rinse aid liquid and
salt should be used.
Compartment A: Washing detergent
Compartment B: Pre-wash detergent
1. Open cover C by pressing button D.
2. Pour in the detergent after consulting
the Table of wash cycles:
• For powder detergent use
compartments A and B.
• For detergent in tablet form: when the cycle requires 1
tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover;
when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of
the appliance.
3. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the
compartment and close the cover until it clicks.
Wash options
If an option is not compatible with the selected was cycle
(see Table of wash cycles), the corresponding LED
flashes rapidly 3 times and 2 short beeps will sound.
Delayed start
It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle by 3, 6 or 9
hours.
1. Press the DELAYED START button: every time it is
pressed a buzzer sounds and the selected period of time
is displayed.
2. Select the wash cycle and shut the door: after the beep
sounds, the timer begins counting down.
3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches
off and the wash cycle begins.
To adjust the delay time and select a smaller period of
time, press the DELAYED START button. To cancel it,
press the button repeatedly until the selected delayed start
indicator light switches off. The wash cycle will start
automatically as soon as the door is shut.
