Starting a washing programme

loaded correctly and that the spray

3. Close the dishwasher door
4. Press the On/Off button
5. Setting and starting the programme
a) Press the programme selection button until the
name of the desired programme is displayed (see
"Washing programmes" chart for the selection of the
washing programme). The details concerning the set
programme (programme name, duration, etc...) are
displayed.
Select options and/or "delay start", if required.
Press the confirm/start button, the set programme will
start automatically.
If refilling with salt and/or rinse aid had been postponed
or if the salt has not yet dissolved completely, salt and
rinse aid refilling messages will appear in the display.
In this case it is necessary to press the confirm/start
button twice to start the wash programme.
b) If "delay start" has been set, the countdown will start
automatically and will decrease with steps of 1 hour.
Only in the last hour the decrease will occur from
minute to minute.
The number of hours before the start of the wash
programme and the delay start symbol is flashing in
the display.
Opening the door will not modify or interrupt the
countdown. Once the delay start has elapsed the
programme will start automatically.
6. To interrupt a wash programme in
progress
Interrupt a wash programme in progress ONLY if it's
absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. Open the door carefully.
a) Open the dishwasher's door; the programme will stop.
The message PLEASE CLOSE DOOR is displayed.
Close the door; the programme will start from the point
at which it was interrupted.
b) Press the On/Off button, in this case all the indicator
lights turn off. Press the On/Off button again; the
programme will start from the point at which it was
interrupted.
7. To cancel a delay start in progress
Press cancel button.
The message CONFIRM CANCEL? appears in the
display.
Press the confirm/start button.
The wash programme will start automatically.
8. To cancel a wash programme in
progress
Press cancel button.
The message CONFIRM CANCEL? appears in the
display.
Press the confirm/start button.
The dishwasher returns to setting mode and the message
CHOOSE PROGRAMME is displayed.
(If a new washing programme will be selected, check that
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser).
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. Open the door carefully.
9. End of washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and an audible
signal informs you of the end of the washing programme.
If the door is not immediately opened at the end of the
programme, air will circulate inside the dishwasher to
prevent residual steam recondensing on the dishes as
water droplets.
This device operates intermittently for about 20
minutes, as long as the dishwasher is switched on.
If the On/Off button is pressed or the door is opened
during these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically
cancelled.
The message PROGRAMME END alternated with
PLEASE SWITCH OFF is displayed.
In case refilling with salt and/or rinse aid is necessary, the
message PLEASE SWITCH OFF is replaced with the salt
and rinse aid refilling messages. If refilling is postponed, it
is possible, however, to switch off the appliance.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
Open the door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before
removing the dishes: in this way they will be cooler and
the drying will be improved.
10. Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from
the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
