DAILY USE
ADVICE AND TIPS
TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery
and empty the glasses.
You do not need to rinse beforehand under
running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip
over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards
and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the wa-
ter to reach every surface and flow freely.
Warning:
lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the spray-
er arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher
washing performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can
rotate freely.
UNSUITABLE CROCKERY
• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery.
Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can
change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g.
crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles
too.
DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY
• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer
as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash
cycle is over.
TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
• When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions,
washing tableware in a dishwasher usually
consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing.
• In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency it is recommended to
initiate
the wash cycle once dishwasher is fully loaded
. Loading the house-
hold dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will
contribute to energy and water savings. Information on correct load-
ing of tableware can be found in
LOADING THE RACKS
chapter.
• In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash
options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multizone), fiilling up only
selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dishwasher may
increase resources usage (such as water, energy and time, as well
as increase noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water
and energy consumption and is not recommended.
HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dish-
washer please
run a high temperature program at least one
a month
. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading
to clean your appliance.

Check that the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and
that the tap is open.

button
and open the door.
Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery - to avoid
burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower one.
The machine will switch off automatically during certain extended
periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity consumption.
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 RUNNING PROGRAM
If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided
that it has only just begun: press and hold the
ON/OFF
button, the
machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using the
ON/OFF
button and select the new wash cycle and any desired op-
tions; start the cycle by pressing the
START/Pause
button.
ADDING EXTRA CROCKERY
Without switching off the machine, open the door (
be ware of HOT
steam!
) and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door
and press the
START/Pause
button the cycle will begin 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. Once the door has been closed or the electricity sup-
ply is restored, to start again the cycle from where it was interrupted,
press the
START/Pause
button.
