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.

Wash options*

The OPTIONS may only be set, modified or reset after the
wash cycle has been selected and before the Start/Pause
button has been pressed.

Only the options which are compatible with the type of wash
cycle set may be selected. If an option is not compatible with the
selected wash cycle (

see Table of wash cycles

), the correspond-

ing LED flashes rapidly 3 times and 2 short beeps will sound.

If an option is selected which is incompatible with another (previ-
ously selected) option, the indicator light corresponding to the
option selected first will flash 3 times, 3 beeps will sound and it
will be deselected, while the most recently selected option will
remain active.
To deselect an option which has been set by mistake, press the
corresponding button again.

Only available in selected models.

Starting the dishwasher

2. Press the ON/OFF button: you will hear a short beep and
the display will light up.
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 P button.
6. Select the wash options

*

 (

see adjacent information

).

7. Start the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button: a long
beep signals the start of the wash cycle and the time
remaining until the end of the cycle is displayed.
8. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of the
wash cycle; the wash cycle indicator light flashes and the END
indicator light switches 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.

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. Press the
Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle will restart after a
prolonged beep is emitted.

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.
