In this fully integrated appliance the controls are located on the
top of the door. When selecting a programme, the door needs
to be open.

1. Check that the baskets have been 

loaded correctly and that the spray 
arms can rotate freely

2. Turn on the water tap

3. Press the On/Off button

4. Setting and starting the programme

a) Press the programme selection button until the 

name of the desired programme is displayed (see 
"Washing programmes" chart for the selection of the 
washing programme). The details concerning the set 
programme (programme name, duration, etc...) are 
displayed.
Select, if desired, options and/or delay start.
Press the confirm/start button.
Close the door, the set programme will start 
automatically.

b) If the "delay start" has been set,

the countdown will start automatically and will 
decrease with steps of 1 hour. Only in the last hour the 
decrease will occur from minute to minute.
Opening the door will not modify or interrupt the 
countdown. Once the delay start has elapsed the 
programme will start automatically.

Once the washing programme has started, a point-shaped 
optical signal appears on the floor beneath the 
dishwasher’s door. This optical signal will remain 
illuminated for all the duration of the washing programme. 
If the appliance has been installed higher up with a 
furniture door mounted flush, the optical signal will be no 
longer visible.

5. To interrupt a wash programme in 

progress

Interrupt a wash programme in progress ONLY if it’s 
absolutely necessary.
Attention! 
Hot steam may escape when the door is 
opened. Open the door carefully.

Open the dishwasher’s door, the programme will stop. The 
message PLEASE CLOSE DOOR is displayed. Close the 
door, the programme will start from the point in which it 
was interrupted.

6. To cancel a programme or a delay 

start in progress

Open the dishwasher’s door.

Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is 
opened during the running of a wash programme. 
Open the door carefully.

Press simultaneously both confirm/start and option 
selection 
buttons.

The message CONFIRM CANCEL? appears in the 
display.
Press the confirm/start button.
The dishwasher returns to setting mode and in the display 
will appear the message CHOOSE PROGRAMME.
If a delay start is cancelled, also the set programme will be 
cancelled. In this case the washing programme has to be 
set again.

(If a new washing programme will be selected, check that 
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser).

7. End of washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop and an audible 
signal informs you of the end of the washing programme. 

When the washing programme has ended, the optical 
signal on the floor beneath the dishwasher’s door will turn 
off. Open the dishwasher door only when this optical 
signal turns off.

If the door is not immediately opened at the end of the 
programme, air will circulate inside the dishwasher to 
prevent residual steam recondensing on the dishes as 
water droplets.
This device operates intermittently for about 20 
minutes, as long as the dishwasher is switched on.
If the On/Off button is pressed or the door is opened 
during these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically 
cancelled.

Hot steam may escape from the appliance when opening 
the door immediately after the end of the programme, 
therefore, open the door carefully.

The message END OF PROGRAMME alternated with 
PLEASE SWITCH OFF is displayed. 

In case refilling with salt and/or rinse aid is necessary, the 
message PLEASE SWITCH OFF is replaced with the salt 
and rinse aid refilling messages. If refilling is postponed, it 
is possible, however, to switch off the appliance.

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button. 

8. Unloading the dishwasher

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should 
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from 
the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this 
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the 
dishes in the lower one.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the 
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become 
cooler than the dishes.

When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
