Start-up and use
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.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam
residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has
ended.
The use of tablets is only recommended for
models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL
TABLETS option.
To achieve the best results from each washing
and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid
and salt should be used.
Compartment A: Washing detergent
Compartment B: Pre-wash detergent
1. Open cover C by pressing
button D.
2. Pour in the detergent after
consulting the
Table of wash
cycles
:
• For powder detergent use
compartments A and B.
• For detergent in tablet form:
when the cycle requires 1 tablet,
place it in compartment A and
close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet
at the bottom of the appliance.
3. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the
compartment and close the cover until it clicks.
* Only available in selected models.
Starting the dishwasher
1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button: you will
hear a short beep and the display and option indicator
lights switch on.
3. Measure out the detergent (
see below
).
4. Load the racks (
see Loading the racks
).
5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of
crockery and its soil level (
see Table of wash cycles
), by
pressing the P button.
6. Select the wash options
* (
see adjacent information
).
7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: a long beep
signals the start of the wash cycle.
8. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of
the wash 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.
9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in
order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the
lower level.
- The machine will switch off automatically during
certain periods of inactivity, in order to minimise
electricity consumption.
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.
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.
