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 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'
Advice Offices.
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.
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, liquid rinse aid and salt should
be used.
Starting the dishwasher
1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent
(see Measuring out the detergent).
4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks) and shut the door.

knob: align the notch on the knob with the number or symbol
representing the desired wash cycle. The START/PAUSE
indicator light will go on.

*
(see Options and Special Wash
Cycles).
7. Start the cycle by pressing the START button; the indicator
light will stop flashing and stay lit (fixed light). The indicator light
corresponding to the wash phase will go on, signalling that the
wash cycle has begun.
8. At the end of the wash cycle the END indicator light will go on
(fixed light). 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 a few minutes before removing the crockery to avoid
getting burnt. 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 models of dishwasher are
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.
Changing a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made in 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, in order to change the wash
cycle 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 the wash cycle cannot be changed.
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 restored.
