Unsuitable crockery

• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique
crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high tempera-
tures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

(e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash
cycles too.
Hygiene
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the
dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least once
a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the
loading to clean your appliance.
TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
• When the household dishwasher is used according to the
manufacturer's instructions, washing tableware in a dish-
washer usually consumes less energy and water than hand
dishwashing.
• In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency it is recommended
to initiate the wash cycle once dishwasher is fully loaded.
Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated
by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings.
Information on correct loading of tableware can be found in
Loading chapter. In case of partial loading it is recommended to
use dedicated wash options if available (FLEXIBLE WASH), fiilling
up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dish-
washer may increase resources usage (such as water, energy
and time, as well as increase noise level), reducing cleaning and
drying performance.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased wa-
ter and energy consumption and is not recommended.
7. END OF WASH CYCLE
The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and by the
flashing of the wash cycle number on the display. Open the
door and switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF
button.
Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery - to
avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower one.
The machine will switch off automatically during certain ex-
tended 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 dishwash-
er, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.
Modifying a running program
If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided
that it has only just begun: open the door, press and hold the ON/OFF
button, the machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using
the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any desired
options; Start the wash cycle by pressing START/Pause button and
closing the door within 4 sec.
If it takes more than 4 seconds the appliance automatically pauses
and you must restart the appliance again by repeating the last
operation.
