Detergent and
dishwasher use
Measuring out the detergent
Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of
detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not
result in a more effective wash and increases environmental
pollution.
The amount can be adjusted to the soil level.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either
25g (powder detergent) or 25ml (liquid detergent). If tablets
are used, one tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent used accordingly.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown
on the detergent box.
For further questions please ask the detergent producers.
Open the detergent dispenser using button
D
and measure out
the detergent according to the Table of wash cycles:
• powder or liquid: compartments
A
(wash detergent) and
B
(pre-
wash detergent)
• tablets: when the cycle requires
1 tablet, place it in compartment
A
and close cover
C
; when it requires
2 tablets, place the second tablet
on the bottom of the appliance.
Remove detergent residues from
the edges of the compartment and close cover
C
until it clicks.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the wash cycle.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS
option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and
drying results are always achieved.
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residues
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined
use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.
We recommend using detergents that do not contain
phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful
to the environment.

The machine will switch off automatically during long

AUTO WASH CYCLES
*
:
some models of dishwasher are
equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient and
economic wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto wash
cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.
Changing a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made in the wash-cycle selection process, it is
possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun:
Once the wash cycle has started, in order to change the wash
cycle switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/
OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and
select the desired wash cycle and options.
Adding extra crockery
Press the Start/Pause button - the corresponding indicator light
will flash. Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping
steam, and place the crockery inside the appliance. Press the
Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle starts again.
If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the
machine, both the wash cycle and the Delayed Start function (if
selected) are interrupted.
At this stage the wash cycle cannot be changed.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle or there is a power
cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it
was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity
supply restored.
