If dON appears on the display, this means that the appliance
is in demonstration mode. To deactivate it, press the START/
RESET and STANDBY buttons simultaneously: dOF should
appear on the display.
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: press and hold the START/RESET
button for 4 seconds. After one long beep and three short
beeps, the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator light will switch
off. Select the new cycle and switch the machine back on by
pressing the START/RESET button.
Adding extra crockery
Press the STANDBY button and open the door, taking care to
avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the
dishwasher. Press the STANDBY button again: 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 the
electricity supply is restored.
Loading the detergent
A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of
detergent being used, as recommended by the
manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended amount does
not result in a more effective wash and pollutes the
environment.
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
Wash cycle table
:
• for powder detergent use
compartments A and B
• for tablets, use compartment
A and the bottom of the
appliance, i.e. 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.
Washing options
Delayed start
It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle for a period
of time between 1 and 24 hours.
1. Press the DELAYED START button: every time the button
is pressed, the time selected appears on the display and the
delayed start indicator light illuminates.
2. Select the wash cycle and press the START/RESET button:
after the beep sounds, the timer begins counting down.
3. Once this time is up, the indicator light switches off and
the wash cycle begins.
To adjust the delay time and select a lower period of time,
press the DELAYED START button. To cancel it, press the
button repeatedly until the wash cycle begins and the WASH
CYCLE PHASE indicator light corresponding to the start of
the cycle in progress illuminates.
Half load using the upper rack
If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half load cycle
may be used in order to save water, energy and detergent.
Before selecting the wash cycle press the HALF LOAD
button: the indicator light will illuminate and the wash cycle
will take place only in the upper rack.
Remember to load the upper rack only, and to reduce the
amount of detergent accordingly.
! It is better to use powder detergent in this case.
! This button cannot be used with the Fast wash, or Baby
Care wash cycles.
4in1
When using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1),
press the 4in1 button. By using this function the overall time
of the wash cycle increases by approximately 10 minutes.
! This button cannot be used with the quick wash, soaking or
baby wash cycles.
