AUTO WASH CYCLES
*
:
some dishwasher models are
equipped
with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient
and economical wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto
wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.
Changing 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 display shows
PAUSE
. Open
the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the
crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the Start/Pause button: the
cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.
If the delayed start has been set, at the end of the countdown
the wash cycle will not start. It will stay in Pause mode.
Press the Start/Pause symbol to pause the machine; the wash
cycle is stopped.
At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, the text
CLOSE THE
DOOR
appears on the display. 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 the electricity supply restored.
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.
To open the detergent
d i s p e n s e r u s e t h e
opening device “A”.
Introduce the detergent
into the dry dispenser
“B” only. Place the
amount of detergent
for pre-washing directly
inside the tub.
1.
When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash
cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment
B
comprises a
level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent
that can be added to each cycle.
2.
Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser
and close the cover until it clicks.
3.
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 residues
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined
use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.
We recommend using detergents that do not contain
phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful
to the environment.
