Loading the Dishwasher
Load for 12 Standard Settings
Turning on the Appliance
Starting a wash cycle
- Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall
socket.
- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
- Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading the
Dishwasher" on page 5).
- Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent
and Rinse Aid" on page 3 and 4).
- Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in
clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle set-
ting is aligned with the reference mark (see the section entitled,
"Wash Cycle Table" on page 8).
- Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON-OFF light will turn on. At
this point, the wash cycle will begin.
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting
A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has been
running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have al-
ready been used, and the appliance may have already drained
the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must
be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent"
on page 4).
Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON light will turn off. Rotate
the knob in clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting (see
the section entitled: Starting a wash cycle
. Then, turn the
dishwasher back on using the ON-OFF button.
If you forget to load some of the dishes
The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF button.
You can then load additional dishes and turn the appliance back
on. The cycle will start where it left off.
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid
handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more
susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons
Button
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel" on page 1, letter
"G" ) is used for normal dirty dishes, pots and pans. It is a stan-
dard daily cycle.
1/2 load Button
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel" on page 1, let-
ter "H" ) makes it possible to wash dishes using only the upper
rack if there are not enough dishes for a full load. This will allow
you to save on water and electricity.
Rapid
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel" on page 1, letter
"I" ) , when pressed with wash cycle 4 (glassware) make it pos-
sible to run the wash cycle at a lower temperature
(50
) and eliminates the drying phase.
It can be used before setting any of the wash cycles, except for
the intensive cycles (if included in the wash cycle table ). Please
keep in mind that the amount of detergent should also be cut in
half.
At the end of the wash cycle
When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP mark
(see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using
the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door
of the dishwasher.

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which re-
sults in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to
remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed. This
will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on
the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as
shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
- The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that
larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.B) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This
also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be
placed in the upper rack.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons
should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe-
cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at
the front of the upper rack.
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls
and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved
by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs lo-
cated on the sides of the rack itself (see fig.C).
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not
against other items to be washed (see fig.D).
Long items, serving cutlery, salad, servers or knives should be
placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the
spray arms. The shelf can be folded back when not required for
use.
