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 ON/OFF and wash
cycle indicator lights switch on for a few seconds.
3. Measure out the detergent (see below).
4. Load the racks (see chapter entitled 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; the indicator light
corresponding to the selected wash cycle will switch
on.
7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: after a
few seconds have passed, 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 indicator light
corresponding to the wash cycle flashes slowly. 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 order in which the different wash programmes
are displayed will change according to the frequency
with which each cycle is used.
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, taking care to
avoid 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 using the P button; 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 the electricity supply is restored.
