HOW TO LOAD THE RACKS
UPPER RACK
- depending on model:
Long utensils (kitchen knives) must be arranged with the sharp end facing the
inside of the appliance.
The two handles
C
must be level.
Washing without the upper rack
If the appliance is equipped with the adjustable retainers shown, the upper rack can be removed
for washing large plates, trays etc. Open the two retainers
D
and remove the rack from the
runners, pulling towards you.
When the upper rack is in place the retainers must always be closed.
Sharp utensils that might cause injury must be placed in the cutlery basket with the sharp end facing downwards.
Arrange crockery to that water does not collect in cavities and the spray arms can turn freely.
Only use dishwasher-proof dishes. Do not use the dishwasher for washing wooden items, aluminium, tin, silver cutlery or
decorated crockery (unglazed).

SELECT PROGRAMME
Press the Programme Selection button until the required programme appears (Table 1.1, Page 1). The appliance will switch on automatically. If required,
select options (if supplied). These are saved at the end of the cycle even if another programme is selected. The corresponding indicator lamp lights up.
WASH CYCLE
The dishwasher door must be closed and the water tap open.
To load crockery, open the door carefully (the Start light will flash and a beep will
sound):
Hot steam
Press the Start button again. The programme resumes from where it was interrupted, with the door closed.
The wash cycle can be interrupted at any time by pressing Cancel/Off button. The appliance pumps water away for
approx. 60 sec. (with the door closed), then switches off automatically.
END OF PROGRAMME
Open the door carefully only after all the lights have switched off and a beep has sounded:
beware of hot steam!
For even better drying results,
leave the dishwasher door open a little before unloading in order to allow the steam to dissipate, helping the dishes to dry. Unload the appliance,
starting from the lower rack in order to avoid any residual drips of water falling onto and wetting the crockery below.
The underside of the kitchen worktop must be protected (see “Maintenance and Installation”).
Changing the programme in progress/RESET
-
Press the Cancel/Off button.
-
Water drains automatically for up to 60 seconds with
the door closed.
-
Select the programme and press the Start button.
