PROGRAMME SELECTION
AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
(Use in conjunction with programme guide)
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher has two very practical
functions:
- the "recommended" programme
(which is set in the factory and is
ideal for full-load daily use) for quick
and accurate selection;
- the memory function which saves
the last programme used, so that if
you regularly use the same washing
cycle, you do not have to re-set the
programme every time, thereby
saving time and effort.
"DEGREE OF SOILING" button
(VARIO POWER)
This button offers a choice of three levels of
wash intensity, according to how dirty the
dishes are. The default setting for this
function is the intermediate one (central
indicator light on).
To set the intensity of wash, press the button
to increase (top indicator light) or reduce
(lower indicator light) this will modify the
wash time and the wash temperature.
The combination of 3 different wash intensity
with the four main wash programmes
(indicated on the control panel) enable to
have up to 12 different wash cycles.
IMPORTANT
When the dishwasher is switched on,
the "DEGREE OF SOILING" last used
will be indicated. If a programme has
been cancelled while in process, the
"DEGREE OF SOILING" setting will
return to intermediate (central indicator
light on).
Programme settings
■
Open the door and place the dirty dishes
inside the appliance.
■
Press the "ON/OFF" button .
The indicator light for the
"recommended"
programme or the indicator light for the
last programme used will flash.
The length of the program will be shown on
the display alternating hours with
minutes [I.e: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].
■
To set another programme, press the
"PROGRAMME SELECTION" button.
■
If you wish to choose the "DEGREE OF
SOILING", press the corresponding button.
■
If you wish to select an option, press the
option button (the corresponding indicator
light will light up).
The option button can be selected or
deselected WITHIN one minute of the
programme commencing.
■
Press the "START" button (the selected
programme indicator light will stop
flashing and remain on).
■
When the door is shut, after an audible
signal has sounded, the programme will
start automatically. The display will show
the time remaining to the end of the cycle.
WITHIN one minute of the programme
commencing, another programme
can be selected, simply by pressing
the "PROGRAMME SELECTION"
button (it is also possible to change
the "DEGREE OF SOILING" setting, by
pressing the corresponding button).
“AUTOMATIC” programmes
The dishwasher is equipped with a
dirt
sensor
, able to analyse water murkiness
during all
"AUTOMATIC"
programme
phases
(see programme list)
; thanks to
this sensor the washing cycle parameters
are automatically adapted to the real
quantity of dirt on dishes. Thus excellent
washing results are guaranteed while
optimising water and energy consumption.
"IMPULSE" programmes
The “IMPULSE” programmes use an
impluse washing technology, which reduces
consumption, noise and increases
performances.
IMPORTANT
The “intermittent” working of the
washing pump MUST NOT BE
considered a malfunction, it is a
characteristic of the impulse washing
so must be considered a normal
function of the programme.
Programme interruption
Opening the door when a programme is
running is not recommended especially during
the main wash and final hot rinse phases.
However, if the door is opened while a
programme is running (for example, to add
dishes) the machine stops automatically and
the display will flash the remaining time
before the end of the cycle. Close the door,
without pressing any buttons
. The cycle will
start from where it left off.
IMPORTANT
A running program can be interrupted
without opening the door by
pressing the "ON/OFF" button. In
this case, simply press the "ON/OFF"
button again to restart the cycle from
where it left off.
WARNING!
If you open the door during the
drying cycle, an audible audio signal
advises you that the drying cycle has
not yet finished.
Changing a running programme
Proceed as follows to change or cancel a
running program:
■
Hold the "RESET" button down for at
least 5 seconds.
The programme indicator lights will flash
and some audible signals will sound.
■
The running programme will be cancelled
and the indicator light for the
“recommended”
programme will start
to flash.
■
At this point a new programme can be set.
WARNING!
Before starting a new programme,
you should check that there is still
detergent in the dispenser.
If necessary, top up the dispenser.
Programme operations
Whilst a programme is running, the display
shows the time remaining to the end of the
cycle, which is automatically updated.
If there is any break in the power supply
while the dishwasher is operating, a
special memory stores the selected
programme and, when the power is
restored, it continues where it left off.
Programme end
A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted)
3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that
the programme has ended.
The display and all the indicator lights will
switch off.
Dishes can now be removed and the
dishwasher turned off by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded
for new cycle.
Option button
"ALL in 1" button
This option optimises the use of "ALL in 1"
("3 in 1"/"4 in 1"/"5 in 1", ecc.) combined
detergents.
By pressing this button, the selected
washing programme is modified to get best
performance from combined detergents
(furthermore, the salt and rinse aid
shortage lights are de-activated).
WARNING!
Once selected, this option keeps
being on (light on) also for next
washing cycles and it can be de-activate
(light off) only by pressing the button
once again.
IMPORTANT
When this option is selected, the
"RAPID" cycle is 10 minutes longer.
