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.

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 display and option indicator lights switch on.

3. Measure out the detergent 

(see below).

4. Load the racks 

(see 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.

6. Select the wash options 

(see adjacent information).

7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: 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 wash cycle number flashes on the display. 

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.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed 

with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the 

amount of detergent used accordingly.

AUTO WASH CYCLES

*

: this model of dishwasher is 

equipped with a special sensor which can be used to 

assess the level of soiling and automatically select the 

most efficient and economic wash cycle accordingly.

The duration of the auto wash cycles may vary due to the 

operation of the sensor.

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, avoiding 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 and any options desired; 

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 once the electricity 

supply is restored.

Multi-functional tablets*

This option optimises washing and drying results.

FUNCTIONAL  TABLETS  button.  The  corresponding  indicator 

light will illuminate.  The “Multi-functional tablets” option results

for subsequent wash cycles if it is not deselected.

The use of tablets is only recommended for models which 

offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

This option is not recommended for use with wash cycles 

which do not specify the use of multi-functional tablets

.

If an option is not compatible with the selected was cycle 

(see Table of wash cycles), the corresponding LED flashes 

rapidly 3 times and 2 short beeps will sound.

a buzzer sounds and the selected period of time is displayed.

the timer begins counting down.

3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off 

and the wash cycle begins.

To adjust the delay time and select a smaller period of time, 

press the DELAYED START button. To cancel it, press the 

button repeatedly until the selected delayed start indicator light 

switches off. The wash cycle will start automatically as soon as 

the door is shut.

Half load using the upper or lower rack

*

If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half load cycle may 

be used in order to save water, electricity and detergent. Select 

the wash cycle and press the HALF LOAD button repeatedly: the 

triangle corresponding to the selected load will illuminate and the 

wash cycle will take place only using the upper or the lower rack.

The Half load option is not compatible with the Rapid 

cycle. 

Remember to load the upper or lower rack only, and to 

reduce the amount of detergent accordingly.
