saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.

crockery and cutlery only in the lower basket.

rotate freely
6. Measure out detergent
Add the required amount of detergent according to the
dosage quantity given in the "Washing programmes"
chart.
If you select the half load option remember to reduce the
quantity of detergent.
Close the detergent dispenser lid.
7. Set the programme
The selection of the programme occurs with the open
door.
Press the programme push button which corresponds to
the washing programme you wish to select, the
corresponding indicator light will flash.
If you want to change washing programme, simply press
another programme push button.

Close the door.
An audible signal advises you that the programme has
started.
The indicator light which corresponds to the programme
under way is now permanently on.
9. At the end of the washing
programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and an audible
signal informs you that the programme has ended.
The "end of cycle" indicator light flashes.
The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off
push button is depressed.

the door.
10. Switch off the dishwasher
Open the door and 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.

more then 1 second, until the corresponding indicator

Important!
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the
machine is working; if the door is opened however, a
safety device ensures that the machine stops.
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot
phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as
steam may escape.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
