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 SELECT WASH CYCLE 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 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, 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 SELECT WASH CYCLE 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.
