Starting the dishwasher

EN
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 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 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.

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.
