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 
25g (powder detergent) or 25ml (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.

Open the detergent dispenser using button 

D

 and measure out 

the detergent according to the Table of wash cycles:

• powder or liquid: compartments 

A

 (wash detergent) and 

B

 (pre-

wash detergent) 
• tablets: when the cycle requires 
1 tablet, place it in compartment 

A

 and close cover 

C

; when it 

requires  2  tablets,  place  the 
second tablet on the bottom of 
the appliance.
Remove detergent residues from 

the edges of the compartment and close cover 

C

 until it clicks. 

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.

(see detergent information).

(see Loading the racks)

.

and its soil level 

(see table of wash cycles)

 by pressing the 

button.
6. Select the wash options

*

(see  Special  wash  cycles  and 

options)

.

7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door.
8. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and by the 
flashing of the wash cycle number on the display. Open the door, 
switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
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 extended periods of inactivity, in order to 
minimise electricity consumption.

AUTO WASH CYCLES

*

:some models of dishwashers are 

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

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. 

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: open the door taking care to avoid the escaping steam, 
by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button, the machine will 
switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button 
and select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start the 
cycle by closing the door. 

Adding extra crockery

Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care 
to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the 
dishwasher. Shut the door and the cycle will begin from the point 
at which it was interrupted.

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 the electricity supply 
is restored.
