1. Check that the baskets have been
loaded correctly and that the spray
arms can rotate freely
2. Turn on the water tap
3. Close the dishwasher door
4. Setting and starting the programme
Turn the programme selector dial until the letter on the
programme selector dial, corresponding to the desired
programme, is parallel with the On/Off indicator light
(see "Washing programmes" chart).
The On/Off indicator light illuminates.
The indicator lights of the phases foreseen for the
programme start flashing.
Press the start/cancel button, the programme starts
automatically and the start/cancel indicator light
illuminates.
The indicator light of the phase in progress is illuminated.
NOTE: during the running of the programme, it is not
possible to change the selection made by positioning the
programme selector dial in correspondence of another
programme. If you want to change the running washing
programme you must cancel the selection made (see "To
cancel a washing programme in progress").
NOTE: the washing programme will begin only after
having pressed the start/cancel button. Until that moment
it is possible to modify the selection made.
5. To interrupt or cancel a washing
programme in progress
Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress
ONLY if it’s absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. Open the door carefully.
Interrupt a washing programme in progress
Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.
Close the door; the programme will start from the point at
which it was interrupted.
Cancel a washing programme in progress
Press the start/cancel button for about 5 seconds.
The start/cancel indicator light turns off and the phase
indicator lights are flashing.
The running programme has been cancelled and it is now
possible to set a new washing programme.
If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.
6. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will stop automatically.
The illumination of the end of programme indicator light
indicates that the programme has ended.
Switch off the dishwasher by returning the programme
selector dial to the Off position.
The On/Off indicator light turns off.
Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar and wait a few
minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will
be cooler and the drying will be improved.
7. Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from
the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
