lights will turn off except for the phase under way. 

6. Interrupting/cancelling a washing 

programme in progress

Attention! 
Hot steam may escape when the door is 
opened. Open the door carefully.

To interrupt a washing programme in 
progress

a) Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. 

Close the door; the programme will start from the 
point in which it was interrupted.

b) Press the On/Off push button (in this case all the 

indicator lights turn off). Press the On/Off push button 
again; the programme will start from the point in 
which it was interrupted.

To cancel a washing programme in

A programme in progress can be cancelled at any time. 
Press for about 3 seconds the push button of the running 
programme until all indicator lights are off.
Only the On/Off indicator light will remain illuminated. 
It is now possible to select a new washing programme.

7. Setting/cancelling the "Delay start"

The setting of the delay start occurs before selecting 
the programme.

Setting the "Delay start"

Press the "delay start" push button until the indicator light 
corresponding to the chosen hours flashes (3, 6 or 9 
hours).
Press the push button corresponding to the required 
washing programme; the indicator light corresponding to 
the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights 
for that programme start flashing.
The start of the countdown will occur after about 6 
seconds from the last pressure of a programme push 
button.
The countdown will decrease with step of 3 hours and 
you are informed of this by the indicator lights of the 
hours.
During the countdown, only the indicator light of the 
selected programme and the indicator light of the number 
of hours to the start of the programme will remain 
illuminated.
Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will 
start automatically.

Cancelling the "delay start"

It is possible to cancel a countdown in progress or before 
it starts, simply pressing the delay start push button until 
the indicator lights corresponding to the delay start hours 
are off.
In this case the selected washing programme will start 
automatically after 6 seconds.

8. End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop and the end of
programme (END) phase indicator light will illuminate.
The indicator light of the programme just ended will 
remain on.
The dishwasher has finished the programme only when 
the end of programme indicator light (END) is illuminated.
If you do not wait for the end of the programme it will not 
be possible to start a new programme until the previous 
programme has been cancelled.
(For instructions on how to cancel a programme see the 
corresponding instructions).
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push 
button, the On/Off indicator light turns off.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing 
the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying 
will be improved.

Water may appear on the sides and the door of the 
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become 
cooler than the dishes.

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.

When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
