6. To interrupt or cancel a washing
programme in progress
Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress
ONLY if it's absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. Open the door carefully.
To interrupt a washing programme in progress
a) Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.
Close the door; the programme will start from the point
in which it was interrupted.
b) Press the On/Off button, in this case all the
indicator lights turn off (except for the On/Off indicator
light). Press the On/Off button again; the programme
will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
To cancel a washing programme in progress
To cancel a washing programme you have to reset the
dishwasher; press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3
for about 2 seconds, the indicator light of the running
programme starts flashing for about 2 seconds.
After about 2 seconds all the indicator lights will
turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually
the rinse aid and salt indicator lights) indicating that
the running programme has been cancelled.
If a new washing programme will be selected, check that
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.
7. To cancel a "delay start" in progress
To cancel a delay start in progress you have to reset the
dishwasher; follow the same instructions given in "To
cancel a washing programme in progress". Cancelling a
delay start involves also the cancelling of the setted
washing programme.
In this case you have to set the washing programme again.
8. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop.
The programme in progress indicator light turns off.
In the digital display appears 0 (remaining programme
time), only in this case the programme has ended.
If he 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 push button is pressed or the door is
opened during these 20 minutes, the device will be
automatically cancelled.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing
the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying
will be improved.
9. 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.
