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.

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Press the ON/OFF button:  all the indicator lights on
the control panel will  light  up for a few seconds.
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 by turning the WASH CYCLE
SELECT knob in a clockwise direction: align the notch
on the knob with the number or symbol representing the
desired wash cycle. The START/PAUSE indicator light
will flash.
6. Select the wash options

*

 (

see adjacent information).

7. Start the cycle by pressing the START button; the
indicator light will light up and remain lit in a fixed
manner.  The indicator light corresponding to the 

wash

phase will switch on, signalling that the wash cycle has
begun.
8. At the end of the wash cycle the 

END

 indicator light

will switch 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.

- 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 starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

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.
