illuminate.
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.

and the DRYING indicator light will flash.

button, shut off the water tap and unplug the
appliance from the electricity socket.
10.Open the door and wait for a few minutes before
removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns.

Modifying the 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: press and hold the START/
RESET button for 4 seconds. After one long beep and
three short beeps, the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator
light will switch off: select the new cycle and switch
the machine back on by pressing the START/RESET
button.
Adding extra crockery
Press the ON/OFF button and open the door, taking
care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the
crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the ON/OFF
button again: the cycle starts 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.
Loading the detergent
A successful wash also depends on the correct
amount of detergent being used, as recommended by
the manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended
amount does not result in a more effective wash and
pollutes the environment.
To obtain the best results from each washing and
drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and
salt should be used.
