Start-up and use

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on. 
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent 

(see below).

4. Load the racks 

(see Loading the racks)

 and shut the door.

5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery 
and its soil level 

(see Table of wash cycles)

 by pressing the 

wash-cycle selection buttons.
6. Select the wash options

*

 (see adjacent information).

7. Start the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button: The wash 

indicator light comes on and the time left until the end of the 
cycle appears on the display.
8. At the end of the cycle, the display shows 

END.

  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.

AUTO WASH CYCLES

*

:

some dishwasher models are

equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient
and economical wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto
wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.

Changing 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 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.

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.
Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be 
adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid 
detergent.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately 
either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). 
If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or it has been rinsed 
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce 
the amount of detergent considerably. 
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown 
on the detergent box.
For further questions please ask the detergent producers' 
Advice Offices.
If the detergent dispenser is still closed, use the closing 
device “A” to open it.

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 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.
