NOTE!
In models with Energy Saving Device (ESD) cycle
duration is extended by 12 seconds. A device
lengthens the cycle time if the water in the boiler
has not reached the minimum temperature for
correct rinsing. The cycle times and the temper-
ature may be personalised (e.g. increase of the
rinse time and temperature). The cycle times
should only be set by a specialised personnel.
J.5 Operation
The filling and heating stage has finished when the display
shows the tank temperature:
The appliance is then ready for use:
• Leave the hood.
NOTE!
With automatic machines, press the button "B"
to open the hood and button "C" (Figure 23) to
close it.
• Pour the required amount of detergent into the tank (in
models without automatic dispenser).
• Arrange dishes in the rack, avoiding washing decorated
dishes, silverware in contact with other metals and the
drying of food residuals on dishes.
• Pre-wash the dishes by spraying them with cold or luke-
warm water, without using any detergent.
• Insert the rack containing the dirty dishes.
• Close the hood and select the suitable wash cycle; the
corresponding indicator light comes on and the wash cycle
starts:
• Cycle 1
For lightly soiled dishes: press button Wash cycle 1 (see
table of times).
• Cycle 2 (recommended)
For normally dirty dishes: press button Wash cycle 2 (see
table of times).
• Cycle 3
For very dirty dishes: press button Wash cycle 3 (see table
of times).
• High Productivity or NSF/ANSI 3 compliant mode
Press and hold down (5 sec.) this button to switch the
machine from “High Productivity“ mode to “NSF/ANSI 3
compliant“ mode and vice versa. This button is off when the
machine is set in “NSF/ANSI 3 compliant“ mode and lights
up when the button is pressed and the machine is
configured in “High Productivity“ mode (factory default
setting).
• To stop the wash cycle, just press the selected cycle button
or lift the hood.
• To continue the wash cycle, just press the selected cycle
button or close the hood. The cycle starts again from where
it stopped.
• At the end of the wash, the dishwasher emits a series of
beeps and “END“ blinks on the display:
• Lift the hood and remove the rack containing the clean
dishes. In models with “Energy Saving Device“ (ESD),
before the message “END“, the display shows a countdown
for a few seconds:
NOTE!
With automatic machines, the hood opens
automatically at the end of the wash cycle.
