the start of the wash cycle.

cycle and the wash cycle number flashes on the display. Open
the door, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button,
shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity
socket.

AUTO WASH CYCLES
*: this model of dishwasher is
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.
- The machine will switch off automatically during certain
periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity
consumption.
Modifying a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it
is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just
begun: open the door, avoiding the escaping steam, and press
and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off with a
long beep. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button
and select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start the
cycle by closing the door.
Adding extra crockery
Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care to
avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the
dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point at
which it was interrupted.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if 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 once the electricity
supply is restored.
Measuring out the detergent
A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of
detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount does not
result in a more effective wash and increases environmental
pollution.
Only use detergent which has been specifically
designed for dishwashers.
