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.

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.

Switching the appliance on for the first time

Selecting the language

Press the ON/OFF button, you will hear a short beep and the
display will show the set language.
Use the DELAYED START button to scroll forwards, or the HALF
LOAD button to scroll backwards through the list until you reach
the desired language. Press the P button to confirm the selection;
you will then automatically enter the list of wash cycles.
Every time the dishwasher is switched on subsequently, the list
of wash cycles will be displayed.

The language may also be changed at a later date, by pressing
the P button and the DELAYED START button simultaneously for
a few seconds.

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on.
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 button: a long beep
signals the start of the wash cycle; the name of the selected
cycle is displayed, along with the time remaining until the end of
the cycle.
8. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of the
wash cycle and the text “END OF CYCLE” appears on the display.
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.

AUTO WASH CYCLES

*

:

 this model of dishwasher is

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

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

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.

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.
