Loading the Dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the larger
food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which
results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to
remove, we recommend that they be allowed to soak before they
are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on
the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as
shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig. A) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This
also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be
placed in the upper rack.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons
should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe-
cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at
the front of the upper rack.

Turning on the Appliance
Starting a wash cycle
After having completed all of the installation steps in the
previousparagraphs, turn on the water all the way and press the
ON-OFF button (B) located on the control panel. Indicator light "A"
light will come on. At this point, the appliance is on but you must
wait a few seconds before programming the wash cycle.
Cancelling or modifying a cycle while it is underway
Premise : A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has
been running for a short time only. Otherwise, the detergent may
have already been used, and the appliance may have already
drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dis-
penser must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading
the Detergent"). To modify a cycle that is already underway,
press the ON/OFF button (B): all of the settings will be cancelled.
To set a new cycle, follow the instructions contained in the para-
graph entitled "setting and starting a wash cycle".
Setting the Wash Cycle with a Delayed Start Time
1/2 load Button
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel", letter "E") al-
lows washing dishes using the upper rack only if there are not
enough dishes for a full load. This will allow you to save on water
and eletrical energy. It can be used before setting any of the
wash cycles, except for the intensive cycle (if included in the
wash cycle table). Please keep in mind that the amount of deter-
gent used should also be half.
During the delay period, it is preferable not to change any of the
settings. If this is necessary, all of the settings must be cancelled
by pressing the ON/OFF button (B).
At this point, all of the steps for "setting the wash cycle with a
Delayed Start Time" and "Setting and Starting a wash cycle" must
be repeated, following the instructions contained in the correspond-
ing sections.
If the door of the appliance is opened during the delay period, the
countdown will stop. It wil begin again when the door is closed.
The display will show the remaining time.
At the end of the wash cycle
An acoustic signal will sound six times, indicating that the
wash cycle has finished, and the cycle indicator light (J)
for the cycle will go out. Turn off the appliance using the
ON-OFF button. Turn off the water supply to the appliance
and open the door. Wait a few minutes before unloading
the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils
while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage.
They will also dry better.

Setting and Starting a wash Cycle
Select the desired cycle by pressing the selector button (I).
Each time the button is pressed, one of the "J" cycle indica-
tor lights will come on in succession. Choose the wash cycle
you feel is most appropriate for the type of dishes that need
washing (consult the wash cycle table contained in this
manual, especially when first using the appliance). After a
few seconds, the wash cycle startsand can no longer be
changed. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled "Cancel-
ling or modifying a cycle while it is underway".
Wash cycle Program Light
The dishwasher is equipped with a LED indicator light (J)
that blinks when the wash cycle indicated by the light itself
is activated.
By pressing button "D" (see close-up view-'Control panel") the start
of the wash cycle may be delayed 1 to 9 hours.
Each time the button is pressed, the display (C) will show the num-
ber of hours for the delay period. Choose the desired amount of
time. After selecting the wash cycle, a short acoustic signal will
sound and after a few seconds, the delay time on the display will
blink indicating that the countdown has begun.
After the delay time has elapsed, the cycle will start.

How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as
well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are
not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get
moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted in height (see fig.B).
