PROGRAMME SELECTION
AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
(Use in conjunction with programme guide)
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher has two very practical
functions:
- the "recommended" programme
(which is ideal for full load daily use)
for quick and accurate selection;
- the "Auto’ Memory", function saves
any programme used at least 3 times
consecutively, so that if you regularly
use the same washing cycle you
do not have to continually set the
programme thereby saving time and
effort.
Programme settings
■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes
inside the appliance.
■ Press the "ON/OFF" button .
■ After pressing the "ON/OFF" button,
the indicator light which is factory set at
"recommended”, or the indicator light
for the “Auto Memory” programme will
flash.
The length of the program will be shown on
the display alternating hours with
minutes [I.e: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].
■ To select an option, press the
corresponding button (the indicator light
will light up).
Option buttons must be pressed
BEFORE starting the programme for
them to be accepted.
■ To choose another programme, press
the corresponding button (the relevant
indicator light will flash to confirm the
selection).
■ To start the programme, press the selected
programme button again to confirm.
The programme starts automatically, the
relevant indicator light will stop flashing
and remain on and the cycle length will
appear on the display.
If the previously described operations
were performed with the door open, the
programme will not start until the door
is closed.
Programme interruption
Opening the door when a programme is
running is not recommended especially
during the main wash and final hot rinse
phases. However, if the door is opened
while a programme is running (for example,
to add dishes) the machine stops
automatically and the display will flash the
remaining time before the end of the cycle.
Close the door, without pressing any
buttons. The cycle will start from where it
left off.
IMPORTANT
A running programme can be
interrupted without opening the door
by pausing the dishwasher.
To pause, hold the running programme
button down for at least 2 seconds
and release when the corresponding
indicator light starts flashing.
Simply press the programme button
again to restart the cycle from where
it left off (the indicator light will stop
flashing and remain on).
WARNING!
If you open the door during the
drying cycle, an audible audio signal
advises you that the drying cycle has
not yet finished.

Changing a running programme
Proceed as follows to change or cancel a
running programme:
■ Hold down the current programme
button (with the indicator light on) for at
least 5 seconds. All programme indicator
lights will turn on for one second. The
running programme will be cancelled
and the corresponding indicator light will
start to flash. The display will go blank
and the programme end indicator light
will turn on in the display.
■ At this point a new programme can be set.
WARNING!
Before starting a new programme,
you should check that there is still
detergent in the dispenser.
If necessary, top up the dispenser.
If there is any break in the power supply
while the dishwasher is operating, a
special memory stores the selected
programme and, when the power is
restored, it continues where it left off.
Programme operations
When a programme is running, the time
until the end of the cycle will be displayed
and the 4 “PROGRAMME STATUS”
indicator lights ("WASH", "RINSE",
"DRY", "END") will light singularly and in
sequence to indicate the current phase.
Programme end
The display will go blank and the last
“PROGRAMME STATUS” indicator light
will light to indicate that the cycle has
ended.
A5 second alarm will sound (if not muted)
3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that
the programme has ended. The programme
end indicator light will light up and the
display will go blank.
Dishes can now be removed and the
dishwasher turned off by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded
for a new cycle.
Option buttons
IMPORTANT
All options MUST be turned on or off,
BEFORE starting the programme.
"TIME SAVER" button
The "TIME SAVER" button provides over
20% time and energy savings by reducing
the final water heating and drying times
during the last rinse cycle.
This option is recommended for light soil
washes, and for when the dishes are not
required perfectly dry straight away.
If you want to get better drying, we advise
to leave the dishwasher door slightly ajar at
the end of the cycle, to allow for a natural
circulation of air inside the dishwasher.
“3 in 1” button
This option optimises the use of “3 in 1”
combined detergents. By pressing this
button, the selected washing programme is
modified to get the best performance from
combined detergents; furthermore, the salt
and rinse aid shortage lights are de-activated.
WARNING!
Once selected, this option keeps
being on (light on) also for next
washing cycles and it can be de-activate
(light off) only by pressing the button
once again.
IMPORTANT
When this option is selected, the
"RAPID" cycle is 10 minutes longer.
"HALF LOAD" button
In response to your everyday washing
requirement in addition to the normal wash
functions this dishwasher is equipped with
the “HALF LOAD” function. This function
enables the uses to wash a reduced
number of dishes yet retaining the freedom
of loading them both on the top and bottom
basket.
When this function is activated the dishwasher
will automatically reduce the water and
energy consumption and the wash time.
When selecting the “HALF LOAD” ensure
a reduced amount of detergent is used.
