9.1.4 Preparation of the dishes
Before washing the dishes, the preparatory steps below should be followed:
• Remove the largest pieces of waste from the dishes before placing them in the baskets to
avoid blocking the filters, nozzles and tubes.
• Wash glassware first.
• Put the plates in the rack basket.
• Place the glasses upside down.
• Place the cutlery in the cutlery baskets with the handles downwards. The different pieces of
cutlery can be mixed.
• Place the cutlery baskets in the lower baskets.
9.1.5 Selecting the wash cycle
Before starting the wash cycle, place the corresponding basket containing the dishes in the
machine and close the hood/door.
Before starting the wash cycle, the machine should have the ideal temperature for washing
the dishes properly, indicated by the temperature on thermometers, advising the user that the
machine is ready. The required temperature of the machine is over 180 ºF (see thermo-stop
chapter) in the rinse boiler and over 158 ºF in the wash tub.
In undercounter dishwasher, to start the wash cycle, a wash cycle button must be pressed (P1)
with the door closed.
When the wash cycle starts, the selected program led will switch on blinking.
The door must be closed for the machine to start the wash cycle. For safety
reasons, if the door is open, the wash cycle will not start.
If you start your dishwasher prior to your boiler reaching a minimum of
180ºF (83 ºC), YOU WILL HAVE AN EXTENDED WASH CYCLE!
