Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on. 
2. Press the ON/OFF button: all the indicator lights on the control 
panel will light up for a few seconds.
3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent 

(see 

Measuring out the detergent).

4. Load the racks 

(see Loading the racks)

 and shut the door.

5. Select the wash cycle by turning the WASH CYCLE SELECT 

knob clockwise: align the notch on the knob with the number or 

symbol representing the desired wash cycle. The START/PAUSE 

indicator light will flash.
6. Select the wash options* 

(see  Special  Wash  Cycles  and 

Options)

.

7. Start the cycle by pressing the START button; the indicator 
light will stop flashing and stay 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 tap 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 long 

periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity 
consumption.

Changing a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made in 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, in order to change the wash 
cycle 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 and open the door, taking care to 
avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the 
dishwasher. Press the Start/Pause button: The cycle will start 
again after a long beep* has been emitted. 

If the delayed start has been set, at the end of the  countdown 

the wash cycle will not start. It will stay in Pause mode.

Press the Start/Pause button to pause the machine; the wash 

cycle is stopped.
At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle or 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 the electricity supply 
is restored.

Detergent and 

dishwasher use

Measuring out the detergent

Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of 
detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not 
result in a more effective wash and increases environmental 
pollution.
The amount can be adjusted to the soil level.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 
35g (powder detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent). If tablets 
are used, one tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed 
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the 
amount of detergent used accordingly. 
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown 
on the detergent box.

For further questions please ask the detergent producers.

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.

Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only.  
Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly 
inside the tub.

1.

 When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash 

cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment 

B

 comprises a 

level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent 

that can be added to each cycle.

2.

 Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser 

and close the cover until it clicks.

3.

 Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until 

the closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time     
according to the wash cycle.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS 
option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and 
drying results are always achieved.

Only use detergent which has been specifically designed 

for dishwashers.

DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residues 
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended. 
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined 
use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.

We recommend using detergents that do not contain 
phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful 
to the environment.
