control panel will light up for a few seconds.
3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of
detergent ( see below ).
4. Load the racks ( see Loading the racks ) and shut the
door.

crockery and its soil level ( see Table of wash cycles ) by
pressing the P button.
6. Select the wash options
7. Start the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button (fixed

the wash cycle indicator light is illuminated and the time
remaining until the end of the cycle is displayed.
8. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of
the wash cycle; the Start/Pause button switches off and
the word END appears on the display. Switch off the
appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the
water valve 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.
AUTO WASH CYCLES
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: once the wash cycle has started,
switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/
OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button
and select the desired wash cycle and options.
Adding extra crockery
Press the Start/Pause button (the corresponding indicator
light will flash). Open the door, taking care to avoid the
escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the
appliance. Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the
cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.
If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the
machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start
(if selected) is interrupted.
At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.

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.

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.
