Start-up and use

Only available in selected models.

Measuring out the detergent

Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be

extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the

skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher

when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle

is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
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.
Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be

adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid

detergent.

In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately

either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent).

If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.
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.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown

on the detergent box.
For further questions please ask the detergent producers'

Advice Offices.

Compartment A:

Washing detergent

Compartment B:

Pre-wash detergent

. Open cover C by pressing

button D.

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.

Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser

and close the cover until it clicks.
Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the
closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the wash cycle.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS
option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing
and drying results are always achieved.

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, liquid rinse aid and salt should
be used.

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.

3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent

(see below).

4. Load the racks

(see Loading the racks)

and shut the door.

5. Select the wash cycle by turning the WASH CYCLE
SELECT knob in a clockwise direction: align the notch on the

knob with the number or symbol representing the desired

wash cycle. The START/PAUSE indicator light will flash.
6. Start the cycle by pressing the START button;the indicator

light will light up and remain lit in a fixed manner. The
indicator light corresponding to the wash phase will switch
on, signalling that the wash cycle has begun.

7. At the end of the wash cycle the END indicator light will

switch on (fixed light). Switch off the appliance by pressing

the ON/OFF button, shut off the water valve and unplug the

appliance from the electricity socket.

8. 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 minimise
electricity consumption.

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: once the wash cycle has started, switch

off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/Reset

button. Switch it back on using the same button and select
the desired wash cycle and options.

Adding extra crockery

Press the Start/Pause button (the corresponding indicator

light will flash). Open the door, taking care to avoid
the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the

appliance. Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle

starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the

machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start function
(if selected) is interrupted.
At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.

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.
