1.3 Washing programs
The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel and an
INFORMATION
DISPLAY from which it is possible to carry out all the power switch-on,
switch-off and programming operations.
Before starting a washing program make sure that:
•The water supply tap is open.
•The correct amount of detergent has been added to the
dispenser.
•The baskets have been correctly loaded.
•The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without
obstruction.
•The dishwasher door is securely closed.
Warning:
during the initial phase of the washing program, the operation of
sprayers is not perceived because they start rotating about 5 minutes
after the start. This is the normal operation of the washing cycle.
LIGHTING

dishwasher pilot light. After approximately 3 second from this operation
the DISPLAY will be turned on with a visualization that will depend upon
the state of the dishwasher.

influenced by the washing conditions such as dishwasher type and
quantity, entry temperature etc. For this reason it is normal to see the
updating during a program (increment and decrease of minutes)
specially in the passage from one phase to the other (for example, from
washing to rinse).

the “End” visual notification on DISPLAY. By pressing one of the
