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.

(

see Measuring out the detergent

).

4. Load the racks (

see Loading the racks

) and shut the door.

5. Press the

 symbol to select the wash cycle in accordance

with the type of crockery and its soil level 

(see

 

Table of wash

cycles).

see options

).

7. Press the Start/Pause symbol; the Start symbol on the display

lights up.  The wash cycle number, the symbols corresponding

to washing, any selected options and the time remaining until the

end of the cycle appear on the display.

8. Once the wash cycle has ended, its corresponding number

appears on the display, along with the text 

END

. Switch off the

appliance using the 

ON/OFF

 symbol; the text 

OFF

 will appear

on the display. 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 temporarily switch off automatically

during certain extended periods of inactivity, in order to

minimise electricity consumption.

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.

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. To change the wash cycle, switch off the machine by

pressing and holding the 

ON/OFF/Reset

 symbol; the text 

3-2-1

OFF

will appear on the display. Switch the machine back on

using the same symbol and select the wash cycle and any

desired options again.

Adding extra crockery

Press the Start/Pause symbol; the Pause symbol will light up.

Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and

place the crockery inside the appliance. Press the Start/Pause

symbol again: the Start symbol lights up and the cycle is

resumed.

 Press the Start/Pause symbol to pause the machine; the

wash cycle is stopped temporarily.

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 the

electricity supply is restored.
