How to start a wash cycle
After performing all the operations described in the previous
chapters, turn the water tap on completely, press ON-OFF
button "A"; you will hear a short beep and indicator light
"B" will come on.
The display turns on and 3 dashes appear: these indicate
that the appliance is awaiting instructions.
Starting and setting the cycle.
Turn the cycle selector "M" until the reference notch on the
knob corresponds with the symbol or number of the cycle
you wish to set (consult the wash cycle table contained in
this manual, especially when first using the appliance).
After a few seconds, a beep indicates the wash cycle has
started and indicator "G" displays the symbol corresponding
to the phase with which it has begun. The counter "L" will
indicate the estimated amount of time left until the end of
the wash cycle.
Do not expect a precise countdown as the wash cycle starts
with an estimated cycle time that is updated as the cycle
progresses and according to a number of parameters that
affect the cycle itself (such as water hardness, the tempera-
ture of the water, the degree of soil, etc.).
You want to wash on one rack only? Remember to use
half the amount of detergent.
If you only have a few dishes to wash, you can load these
onto one rack only, saving on both water and electricity.
Press button "I", a beep will sound and indicator "N" appears
on the display. Each time you press the button, a beep will
sound and symbol corresponding to the upper rack or
symbol corresponding to the lower rack will appear. If
you press the button once more, the selection will be reset
and the dishwasher will consequently wash on both racks.
To use the racks correctly, we recommend you read the
chapter entitled "Loading the dishes".
Cycle phase under way indicator
Your dishwasher is equipped with an indicator "G"
comprising 4 symbols which represent the different phases
of a wash cycle. When the wash cycle has started, the display
will indicate the phases under way in sequence.
These phases are:
pre-wash wash rinses drying
Cancelling and modifying a wash cycle in progress
Premise: a wash cycle in progress can only be modified if it
hasn't been running for long.
To modify it, turn the knob and set it to RESET. After a few
seconds, you will hear 4 beeps, indicator "G" relating to the
phase under way will turn off and 3 dashes will appear. At
this point, all the settings will have been cancelled.
To select a new wash cycle, repeat the instructions contained
in the paragraph entitled "Starting and setting the cycle".
You've left out a dish?
You can interrupt a wash cycle by pressing the "ON-OFF"
button, then place the forgotten dishes into the appliance,
which will start up from where it was interrupted when you
turn it back on.
There's been a power failure? Have you opened the
dishwasher door?
The wash cycle stops and then restarts when the electricity
comes back on or when you shut the door.
How to programme extra drying.
If you want your dishes to be perfectly dry, follow the
instructions below.
Set the knob to RESET and make any specific settings, such
as:
- upper or lower rack
- delayed start
Start the wash cycle by turning the knob and open the
appliance door. Observe symbol for drying: it will flash
for about 4 seconds, while the word "OFF" appears on the
display (extra drying disabled).
If you press button "I" immediately, you will hear a prolonged
beep and the word "ON" will appear on the display: the
extra drying has been enabled.
Once you have made your selection, shut the appliance door;
a beep will sound and the wash cycle will either start
immediately or after the delay, wherever set.
Remember that with extra drying, the wash cycle will last
longer, to provide you with drier dishes.
At the end of the wash cycle
At the end of the wash cycle, 2 beeps are sounded and the
word END flashes. Bring the selector back to the RESET
position, and the 3 dashes for programming cancellation
will appear.
Turn the appliance off by pressing the ON-OFF button, turn
off the water tap and open the door. Wait a few minutes
before removing the dishes: this way you won't have to
handle them while they're still hot and they will dry better.
Empty the bottom rack first.
Make sure the wash cycle has ended before removing the
dishes!
Warning
If opening the door soon after the end of the programme,or
during it, stand away from the Dishwasher, to avoid possible
injury from hot steam.
