Start-up and use
Measuring out the detergent
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.
Only use detergent which has been
specifically designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam
residue remaining in the machine after the cycle
has ended.
The use of tablets is only recommended for
models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL
TABLETS option.
To achieve the best results from each washing
and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid
liquid and salt should be used.
Compartment A:
Washing detergent
Compartment B:
Pre-wash detergent
1. Open cover C by pressing
button D.
2. Pour in the detergent after
consulting the
Table of wash
cycles
:
For powder detergent use
compartments A and B.
For detergent in tablet form:
when the cycle requires 1 tablet,
place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it
requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the
appliance.
3. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the
compartment and close the cover until it clicks.

7. Start the cycle by pressing the START button; the
indicator light will flash and remain lit in a fixed manner.
The indicator light corresponding to the wash phase will
switch on, signalling that the wash cycle has begun.
8. At the end of the wash cycle the END indicator light
will switch on (fixed light). Switch off the appliance by
pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water valve and
unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.
9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery,
in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with
the lower level.
- The machine will switch off automatically
during certain periods of inactivity, in order to
minimise electricity consumption.
Modifying 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 corresponding
indicator light will flash). Open the door, taking care to
avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside
the appliance. Close the door and press the Start/Pause
button (fixed light): the cycle starts from the point at
which it was interrupted.
If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the
machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start function
(if selected) is interrupted.
At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or 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 once the electricity supply is restored.
