Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the 
letter of the programme you wish to select corresponds 
with the programme marker on the control panel (see 
"Washing programmes" chart). 

Depress the On/Off push button; the On/Off indicator 
light will come on and the machine will start.

5. Interrupting a washing programme

Interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLY if 
it’s absolutely necessary

To interrupt a washing programme

Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is 
opened. There is risk of scalding. Open the door 
carefully.

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

Pressing the On/Off (in this case the On/Off indicator 
light turns off). Press the On/Off push button again; 
the programme will start from the point in which it was 
interrupted.

6. End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push 
button, the On/Off indicator light turns off.
Hot steam may escape from the appliance when opening 
the door immediately after the end of the programme, 

therefore, open the door carefully.

Unloading the dishwasher

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should 
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from 
the appliance.
Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15 
minutes, with the door ajar, after the end of programme 
so that they dry better and will be cooler.
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.
