automatically.
5. Interrupting, changing or cancelling
a washing programme
Interrupt, change 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
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) Pressing the On/Off (in this case all the indicator lights
turn off). Press the On/Off push button again; the
programme will start from the point in which it was
interrupted.
To change a washing programme
Open the dishwasher door.
Press the push button of the programme you want to
select for about 6 seconds, the indicator light of the
running programme starts to flash.
The indicator light of the running programme turns off and
at the same time the indicator light of the new selected
programme will illuminate.
The new programme will start automatically once the
dishwasher door is closed.
To cancel a washing programme
Open the dishwasher door.
Press simultaneously the function push buttons 2 and 3
for about 2 seconds, the indicator light of the running
programme will start flashing. After about 2 seconds all
the indicator lights of the programme push buttons will
illuminate indicating that the running programme has been
cancelled and that the machine has returned to setting
mode.
It is now possible to select and start a new washing
programme.
6. Setting/cancelling the "delay start"
The setting of the delay start occurs after selecting
the programme.
Setting the "delay start"
Press the "delay start" push button until the indicator light
corresponding to the chosen hours flashes (3, 6 or 9
hours).
The countdown will start only once that the door has
been closed, until that moment it is still possible to
change the selection made. If the countdown has not yet
started (closed door) it is also possible to cancel the
delay selection by simply pressing the "delay start" push
button until the indicator lights of the hours are no longer
illuminated. (In this case the selected washing
programme will start automatically once the door is
closed).
Close the door, the countdown will start automatically.
The countdown will decrease with step of 3 hours.
The opening of the door will not stop the countdown.
Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will
start automatically.
Cancelling a "delay start" in progress
To cancel a delay start in progress you must follow the
same procedure as for cancelling a running programme
(see "To cancel a washing programme") .
In this case the washing programme must be set again.
7. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and an
intermittent audible signal informs you of the end of the
washing programme.
Open the dishwasher's door, the indicator light of the
programme just ended remains illuminated and the end
of programme indicator light is illuminated.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push
button.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this
way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.
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.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
