SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are certain basic safety rules
which are valid for any domestic
appliance.
Installation
■ Make sure that the plug fitted to the
machine is compatible with the power
supply socket. If it is not, get a suitably
qualified person to fit the correct type,
and to make sure that the cables to the
mains socket are able to cope with the
power rating of the appliance.
■ Ensure that the dishwasher does not
crush power cables.
■ In general it is not advisable to use
adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension
cables.
■ Should it be necessary to replace the
supply cord, call the After Sales Service
Centre.
Safety
■ Never touch the appliance when your
hands or feet are wet or damp.
■ Do not use when your feet are bare.
■ Do not remove the plug from the mains
supply socket by pulling the mains cable
or the machine itself.
■ Do not leave the appliance exposed to
the elements (rain, sun etc).
■ This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
■ Water left in the machine or on the
dishes at the end of the wash programme
should not be swallowed.
■ The door should not be left in the open
position since this could present a potential
hazard ( es. tripping ).
■ Leaning or sitting on the open door of
the dishwasher could cause it to tip over.
WARNING !
Knives and other utensils with sharp
points must be loaded in the basket
with their points down or placed in a
horizontal position.
Daily use
■ This appliance is be designed for domestic
use only.
■ The dishwasher is designed for normal
kitchen utensils.
Objects that have been contamined by
petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron,
corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis
must not be washed in the dishwasher.
■ If there is a water softening device installed
in the home there is no need to add
salt to the water softener fitted in the
dishwasher.
■ Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in
the basket with the handles downwards.
■ If the appliance breaks down or stops
working properly, switch it off, turn off the
water supply and do not tamper with it.
Repair work should only be carried out
by an approved service agent and only
genuine spare parts should be fitted. Any
failure to follow the above advice may
have serious consequences for the safety
of the appliance.
Disposal
■ The dishwasher has been made from
materials which can be recycled so that it
can be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly way.
■ If you wish to dispose of an old dishwasher
be careful to remove the door to
eliminate the risk of children becoming
trapped inside it.

Water connection
IMPORTANT
The appliance must be connected to
the water mains using new hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be reused.
■ The inlet and drain hoses can be directed
to left or right.
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher can be connected to
either cold or hot water, as long as it
is no hotter than 60 °C.
■ Water pressure must be between
0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is
below the minimum consult our service
department for advice.
■ The inlet hose must be connected to a
tap so that the water supply can be cut
off when the machine is not in use
(fig. 1 B).
■ The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded
connector (fig. 2).
1
2
Connecting the outlet hose
■ The outlet hose should disharge into a
standpipe, making sure that there are no
kinks (fig. 4).
■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm
above floor level and it must have an
internal diameter of at least 4 cm.
■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap
(fig. 4X).
■ If necessary the outlet hose can be
extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is
kept at a maximum height of 85 cm
above floor level. The extension pipe is
available from the After Sales Service
Centre.
4
■ The hose can be hooked over the side of
the sink, but it must not be immersed in
water, in order to prevent water from
being syphoned back to the machine
when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).
■ When installing the appliance under a
worktop the hose pipe clamp must be
attached to the wall in the highest possible
position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
■ Check that there are no kinks in the inlet
and outlet hoses.
■ Connect inlet hose “A” to water tap “B”
with a 3/4" attachment making sure that
it has been properly tightened.
■ If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be
lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension
pipe is available from the After Sales
Service Centre.
■ If limescale deposits or sand are present
in the water, it is advisable to obtain the
appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the
After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). The
filter “D” must be inserted between the tap
“B” and the inlet hose “A”, remembering
to fit the washer “C”.
■ If the dishwasher is connected to new
pipes or to pipes which have not been in
use for a long time run water through for
a few minutes before connecting the
inlet hose. In this way no deposits of
sand or rust will clog up the water inflow
filter.
3
Opening the door
If the machine comes open while it is working,
an electrical safety device automatically
switches everything off.
IMPORTANT
For the machine to work properly,
the door should not be opened while
it is in operation.
6 7
Closing the door
Place the baskets in the machine.
Make sure that both the spray arms are
free to rotate and are not obstructed by
cutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door,
pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.
WATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the
dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals
present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener unit which, through the use of
special regenerating salt, supplies
softened water for washing the dishes.
The degree of hardness of your water can
be obtained from your water supply
company.
Regulating the water softener
The water softener can treat water with a
hardness level of up to 90°fH (French
grading) or 50°dH (German grading)
through 8 settings.
The settings are listed in the table below:

* The softener unit is set in the factory
at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the
requirements of the majority of users.
Regulate the setting of your water softener
unit according to the degree of hardness
of your water as follows:
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher must be ALWAYS
off before start this procedure.
1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME
SELECTION" button and at the same
time switch on the dishwasher by
pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief
audible signal will sound).
2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION"
button pressed for at least 5 seconds,
UNTIL a brief audible signal sounds.
The current water softener setting level
will be shown on the display.
3. Press the same button again to select
the required water softener level: each
time the button is pressed, the setting
will increase by one level. When you
have reached "d7", the display will go
back to "d0".
4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button to confirm the new
setting.
WARNING!
If any problem occurs, turn the
dishwasher off by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button and start the
procedure again from the beginning
(STEP 1).
LOADING THE SALT
■ On the bottom of the machine there is a
container for the salt for regenerating
the softener.
■ It is important to use only a salt that is
specifically designed for dishwasher.
Other types of salt contain small quantities
of insoluble particles which over a long
period of time may affect and deteriorate
the softener performance.
■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the
container.
■ During this operation a little water will
overflow; but keep adding salt until the
container is full. When the container is
full, clean the thread of salt residue and
retighten the tap.
■ After loading the salt, it is recommended
running a complete washing cycle,
or COLD RINSE programme. The salt
dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5
and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the
appliance, it should be refilled from time
to time according to the regulation of the
water softener unit.
IMPORTANT
(Only for first start up)
When the appliance is used for the
first time, after completely filling the
salt container, it is necessary to add
water until the container overflows.
Salt loading indicator
This model is provided with an indicator light
on the control panel which will light up
when it is necessary to reload the salt
container.
IMPORTANT
The appearance of white stains on
dishes is generally an important
sign that the salt container needs
filling.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE
UPPER BASKET
If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used,
load them onto the lower basket after the
upper basket has been placed in its upper
position and proceed as detailed below:
1. Pull out the upper basket;
1
LOADING DISHES
Using the upper basket
A standard daily load is represented in
figs. 1 and 2.
Upper basket (fig. 1)
1
■ The upper basket is provided with mobile
racks hooked to the sides of the basket,
which can be regulated into two positions:
upright and lowered.
2. Then grasp the basket from both sides
and lift it upwards (fig. 1).
Dishes that are bigger than 14 cm in
diameter can no longer be loaded onto the
upper basket and the mobile supports
cannot be used when the basket is in the
upper position.
ADJUST BASKET TO THE LOWER
POSITION:
1. Grasp the basket from both sides and lift
slightly upwards (fig. 2a);
2. Then slowly release into the correct
position (fig. 2b).
N. B. : NEVER LIFT OR LOWER THE
BASKET BY ONE SIDE ONLY (fig.3).
Attention :
it is advisable to adjust the basket before
loading the dishes.
2
■ In the lowered position the racks may be
used for such items as: tea and coffee
cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Also
glasses with stems may be safely hung
on the ends of the racks. Glasses, cups,
saucers and dessert plates may be loaded
under the racks.
■ In the upright position the racks allow
3
you to load dinner plates and soup plates
up to a maximum diameter of 19 cm.
Plates should be loaded vertically with
the underside of the plate towards the
back of the dishwasher with a space
between each plate to allow water to
pass freely.
■ It is advisable that the plates loaded into
the dishwasher together be the same
size in order to utilize total basket capacity.
■ Plates may be loaded in a single row or
in two rows.
Upper basket (fig. 2)
2
Using the lower basket
■ It is advisable to load large plates slightly
tilted towards the front to facilitate the
introduction of the basket into the
machine.
10
■ The upper basket has been designed to
offer maximum flexibility in use and can
be loaded with glasses, cups, small
plates and small-sized bowls.
■ Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad
bowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner plates
and soup plates can be loaded into the
lower basket.
■ Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery
holder with the handles pointing upwards
and place the cutlery holder on the lower
basket (fig. 6) making sure that the
cutlery does not get in the way of the
rotating arms.
11
■ The lower basket is fitted with a special
adjustable central rack (fig. 3 and 4).
This permits stable and optimum
loading, even when the size and/or
shape of the dishes is non-standard.
- POSITION “A”: for a standard load, or
one that excludes pans, salad bowls and
the like.
- POSITION “B”: for dishes which,
although standard size, have a particular
shape (very deep bowls, square dishes
or ones without borders etc.).
- POSITION “C”: for larger than average
flat plates and/or ones with nonstandard shapes (square, hexagonal,
oval, pizza dishes etc.).

■ Smaller plates (used for dessert plates
for example), can also be placed into the
lower basket as shown in the figure 5,
with the support flap placed outwards
("B").
For normal or large plates the flap must
be in the position ("A").
WARNING!
If the small plates are placed in the
basket with the support flap in the
incorrect position, the plates will
interfere with the lower spraying arm
preventing it to rotate.

Please load the dishwasher sensibly to
ensure the best wash results.
IMPORTANT
The lower basket has a safety-stop
device, for its safe extraction, also
especially useful with a full load.
For loading salt, cleaning filter and for
ordinary maintenance, the complete
extraction of the basket is necessary.
Cutlery basket
The top of cutlery basket can be removed,
for enable various loading options.
12
Using the third basket
■ The third basket has been designed to
load items such as utensils of small
dimensions or flat and long shaped
items. By freeing the lower baskets from
these objects, loading big-size items
becomes more comfortable and easier,
making it possible for instance to load
plates and pots in the lower basket.
■ The third basket can be loaded with the
following items: coffee cups and side
plates, fruit or dessert cups, small bowls,
saucers, kitchen knives and forks, ladles
and large spoons, graters, and
accessories for small appliances (e.g.
food mixer blades).
ATTENTION!
The third basket is NOT designed for
loading cutlery. The absence of racks
for fixing cutlery could involve such
items being found in the lower
baskets.
■ In order to obtain optimum washing
results, it is advisable to load items with
their underside towards the ceiling of the
dishwasher (e.g. small plates and
bowls).
■ The third basket can be easily extracted
from the dishwasher, by removing the
front stops at the beginning of basket
tracks.
■ The third basket has been designed to
offer maximum flexibility in use. Due to
its partition in three tilted sections and
absence of fixed racks, it can be loaded
in numerous ways: only coffee cups and
side plates; or coffee cups mixed with
bowls and utensils; or again with side
plates, graters, and spoons.
A standard daily load is represented in
fig. 7.

INFORMATION FOR THE TEST
LABORATORIES
Please ask information required for
comparison testing and measuring noise
levels, according to EN normative, to the
following address:
testinfo-dishwasher@candy.it
In the request, please specify model name
and number of the dishwasher (see rating
plate).
13
LOADING THE DETERGENT
The detergent
IMPORTANT
It is essential to use a detergent
that is specifically designed for
dishwashers either in powder, liquid
or tablet form.
“FINISH” gives very good results and can
be easily obtained.
Unsuitable detergents (like those for
washing up by hand) do not contain the
proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher,
and stop the dishwasher from working
correctly.
Filling the detergent container
The detergent container is inside the door
(fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is
closed, press the button (A) to open.
At the end of every wash cycle the lid is
always open and ready for the next time
the dishwasher is used.
WARNING!
When loading the lower basket, please
ensure that the plates or others do not
obstruct the detergent dispenser.
The amount of detergent to be used varies
according to how dirty the dishes are and
on the type of dishes to be washed.
We advise using 20÷30 g of detergent in the
wash section of detergent compartment (B).
B
After pouring the detergent into the container,
close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then
pressing on it (2) until you hear the click.
Since not all detergents are the same the
instructions on the boxes of detergent can
vary. We should just like to remind users
that too little detergent does not clean the
dishes properly whilst too much detergent
will not produce better results and is also a
waste.
IMPORTANT
Do not use an excessive amount of
detergent and help limit damage to
the environment at the same time.
TYPES OF DETERGENT
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different manufacturers
dissolve at different speeds, for this
reason, during short programmes, some
detergent tablets may be not fully effective,
because they are not completely dissolved.
If these products are used, is recommended
to choose longer programmes to guarantee
the complete use of the detergent.
IMPORTANT
To get satisfactory washing results,
the tablets MUST be placed in the
wash section of the detergent
container and NOT directly in the
tub.
Concentrated detergents
The concentrated detergents, with reduced
alkalinity and with natural enzymes, in
conjunction with 50°C wash programmes,
have a smaller impact on the environment
and they protect the dishes and the
dishwasher.
The 50°C wash programmes purposely
exploit the dirt-dissolving properties of the
enzymes, allowing therefore, with the use
of the concentrated detergents, to achieve
the same results of the 65°C programmes
but at a lower temperature.
Combined detergents
The detergents that also contain the rinse
aid must be placed in the wash section of
the detergent container. The rinse aid
container must be empty (if it is not empty,
set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position
before using combined detergents).
■ the effectiveness of detergents containing
the built in water softener/salt depends
on the hardness of your water supply.
Check that the hardness of your water
supply is within the effective range given
on the detergent packaging.
If when using this type of product, you
don't get satisfactory washing results,
please contact the detergent
manufacturer.
In certain circumstances use of combined
detergents can cause:
■ limescale deposits on dishes or in the
dishwasher;
■ a reduction in washing and drying
performance.
IMPORTANT
Any problems which arise as a direct
result of the use of these products
are not covered by our warranty.
Please note that using the "ALL in 1"
combined detergents, the rinse aid and
salt indicator lights (only used on
selected models) are superfluous, so you
must ignore the lights.
If washing and/or drying problems occur,
we recommend you return to use traditional
separate products (salt, detergent and
rinse agent). This will ensure that the water
softener in the dishwasher operates
correctly.
In this case, we recommends that you:
A
14
"ALL in 1" combined detergents
If you are planning to use “ALL in 1” (“3 in 1 “/
“4 in 1”/ “5 in 1”, etc.) combined detergents i.e.
those with built in salt and/or rinse agent,
we would advise the following:
■ read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions given on the packaging;
■ refill both the salt and rinse aid container;
■ run one normal washing cycle without a
load.
Please note that on return to the use of
conventional salt, a number of cycles will
be required before the system becomes
fully efficient again.
15
LOADING THE RINSE AID
CLEANING THE FILTERS
The rinse aid
The rinse aid, which is automatically
released during the last rinsing cycle, helps
the dishes to dry quickly and prevents
spots and stains forming.
Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid container can be found to the
left of the detergent container (fig. A "3").
To open the lid, push the reference mark
and, in the same time, pull the tab of
opening.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid that
is specifically designed for dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid level through the
indicator eye (C) which is located on the
dispenser.
FULL EMPTY
dark light
C
The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:
a central container that traps the larger
particles;
a flat gauze that continuously filters the
wash water;
a micro filter, located beneath the gauze,
that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a
perfect rinse.
■ To achieve excellent results every time,
the filters should be checked and
cleaned after each wash.
■ To remove the filter unit, simply turn the
handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
■ For ease of cleaning, the central container
is removable (fig. 2).
■ Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and
wash the whole unit under a jet of
water. If necessary a small brush can
be used.
■ With the Self-cleaning Micro filter,
maintenance is reduced and the filter
unit need only be checked every two
weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it
is advisable to check that the central
container and the gauze filter are not
clogged.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6
The regulator (D) is placed under the lid
and can be turned using a coin.
The recommended position is 4.
The limestone content of the water
considerably affects the formation of
limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the
quantity of rinse aid to achieve good
washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the
dishes, decrease the amount by one
position. If whitish spots occur, increase the
amount by one position.
16
D
WARNING!
After cleaning the filters, make sure
that they are correctly reassembled
and that the gauze filter is properly
positioned at the bottom of the
dishwasher.
Make sure that the filter is screwed
back, clockwise, into the gauze, as
poor seating of the filter unit could
have an adverse effect on the
efficiency of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Never use the dishwasher without
the filters.

PRATICAL HINTS
How to get really good wash
results
■ Before placing the dishes in the
dishwasher, remove any remaining
food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or
vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit,
cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid
blocking the filters, water outlet and
washing arm nozzles.
■ Try not to rinse the dishes before
loading them into the dishwasher.
■ If saucepans and oven dishes are
encrusted with the remains of burnt or
roast food, it is advisable to leave them
to soak before washing.
■ Place the dishes face downwards.
■ Try to place the dishes in such a way
that they are not touching one another.
If they are loaded properly you will get
better results.
■ After loading the dishes check that the
washing arms can rotate freely.
■ Pans and other dishes that have
particularly stubborn food particles or
remnants of burnt food should be left to
soak in water with dishwasher
detergent.
■ To wash silver properly:
a) rinse the silver immediately after
use, especially if it has been used for
mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;
c) keep it separate from other metals.
How to make savings
■ If you want the dishwasher to give a
complete wash, place the dishes in the
dishwasher at the end of each meal and
if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE
cycle to soften the food remains and
remove bigger particles of food from the
new load of dishes.
When the dishwasher is full start the
complete wash cycle programme.
■ If the dishes are not very dirty or if the
baskets are not very full select an
ECONOMY programme, following the
instructions in the program list.
What not to wash
■ It should be remembered that not all
dishes are suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.We advise against using
the dishwasher to wash items in
thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or
plastic handles, saucepans with
wooden handles, items in aluminium,
crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise
stated.
■ Certain decorations may fade. It is
therefore a good idea before loading the
whole batch to wash just one of the
items first so as to be sure that others
like it will not fade.
■ It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery
with non-stainless steel handles into
the dishwasher as there could be a
chemical reaction between them.
IMPORTANT
When buying new crockery or
cutlery always make sure that they are
suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
Useful hints
■ In order to avoid any dripping from the
top rack, remove the lower rack first.
■ If the dishes are to be left in the
machine for some time, leave the door
ajar, to let some air circulate and to
improve the drying performance.
18
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do not
use solvents (degreasing action) neither
abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with
water.
■ The dishwasher does not require special
maintenance, because the tank is
self-cleaning.
■ Regularly wipe the door gasket with a
damp cloth to remove any food remains
or rinse aid.
■ It is advisable to remove limestone
deposits or dirt periodically, by doing an
empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on
the bottom of the tank and select the
light wash.
■ If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the
filters, you notice that the dishes or pans
are not properly washed or rinsed, check
that all the spray heads on the rotor
arms (fig. A “5”) are clear.
If they are blocked, clean them in the
following way:
1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it
until it lines up with the stop marked
by the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards
(fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in,
unscrew it in a clockwise direction
(to reassemble it repeat the same
operation, but turn it anticlockwise).
The lower rotor arm can be removed
simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);
2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of water
to clear any blockage in the spray
heads;
3. when you have finished, refit the rotor
arms in the same position, remembering
to re-align the arrow and screw into
position.
■ Both the door lining and the tank lining
are in stainless steel; however, should
spots caused by oxidation occur, this is
probably due to a high level of iron salts
presents in the water.
■ The spots can be removed with a mild
abrasive agent; never use chlorine
based materials, steel wool, etc.

WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED
After every wash it is essential to turn off
water supply and to switch off the machine
by pressing the On/Off button to the off

PROGRAMME SELECTION
AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
(Use in conjunction with programme guide)
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher has two very practical
functions:
- the "recommended" programme
(which is set in the factory and is
ideal for full-load daily use) for quick
and accurate selection;
- the memory function which saves
the last programme used, so that if
you regularly use the same washing
cycle, you do not have to re-set the
programme every time, thereby
saving time and effort.
"ACTION PRO" buttons
These buttons allows you to modify the
wash intensity, according to how dirty your
dishes are, by modifying the wash time
and temperature.
Pressing the button the intensity of
wash will be increased, pressing the
button the intensity of wash will be
reduced and the wash time will be
remarkably shorter.
The combination of the buttons with the 4
main wash programmes enable to have 8
additional wash cycles (achieving a total of
12 programmes of washing).
IMPORTANT
When the dishwasher is switched on,
the setting last used will be indicated.
Programme settings
■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes
inside the appliance.
■ Press the "ON/OFF" button . The
display will show the "recommended"
programme, or the last programme
used.
■ To set another programme, press the
"PROGRAMME SELECTION" button
("PROGR.").
■ If you wish, press the "ACTION PRO +"
or "ACTION PRO –" button.
■ If you wish, press the option button (the
corresponding indicator light will turn on).
The option button can be selected or
deselected WITHIN one minute of the
programme commencing.
■ Press the "START" button.
The length of the program will be shown on
the display alternating hours with minutes
[I.e.: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].
■ Close the door (after an audible signal
has sounded, the programme will start
automatically).
WHITIN one minute of the programme
commencing, another programme
can be selected, by pressing the
"PROGRAMME SELECTION" button
(it is also possible to select or deselect
the "ACTION PRO" buttons).
“AUTOMATIC” programmes
The dishwasher is equipped with a dirt
sensor, able to analyse water murkiness
during all "AUTOMATIC" programme
phases (see programme list); thanks to
this sensor the washing cycle parameters
are automatically adapted to the real
quantity of dirt on dishes. Thus excellent
washing results are guaranteed while
optimising water and energy consumption.
20
21
"IMPULSE" programmes
The “IMPULSE” programmes use an
impluse washing technology, which reduces
consumption, noise and increases
performances.
IMPORTANT
The “intermittent” working of the
washing pump MUST NOT BE
considered a malfunction, it is a
characteristic of the impulse washing
so must be considered a normal
function of the programme.
Programme interruption
Opening the door when a programme is
running is not recommended especially
during the main wash and final hot rinse
phases. However, if the door is opened
while a programme is running (for example,
to add dishes) the machine stops
automatically and the display will flash the
remaining time before the end of the cycle.
Close the door, without pressing any
buttons. The cycle will start from where it
left off.
WARNING!
If you open the door during the
drying cycle, an audible audio signal
advises you that the drying cycle has
not yet finished.
Changing a running programme
Proceed as follows to change or cancel a
running programme:
■ Open the door.
■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at
least 5 seconds (the running programme
will be cancelled).
■ The display will show the "recommended"
programme.
■ At this point a new programme can be set.
WARNING!
Before starting a new programme,
you should check that there is still
detergent in the dispenser.
If necessary, top up the dispenser.
If there is any break in the power supply
while the dishwasher is operating, a
special memory stores the selected
programme and, when the power is
restored, it continues where it left off.
Programme end
A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted)
3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that
the programme has ended.
Dishes can now be removed and the
dishwasher turned off by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded
for a new cycle.
Option button
“SUPER ECO” button
This button provides an energy and time
saving of 25% on average (according to
the select cycle) reducing the wash water
temperature and the drying time during the
final rinse.
This programme is recommended for light
soil washes, and for slightly wet dishes that
are not fully dry, & improved drying results.
We advise you to leave the door of the
dishwasher half-open at the end of the
cycle, to allow for a natural circulation of air
inside the dishwasher.
22
"DELAY START" button
Dishwasher start time can be set with this
button, delaying start from 1 to 23 hours.
Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:
■ Press the "DELAY START" button ("00"
will appear on the display).
■ Press the button again to increase the
delay in hours (each time the button is
pressed the delay is increased by 1 hour
to a maximum of 23). The “DELAY
START” indicator light will turn on.
■ To start the countdown press the
"START" button (the “DELAY START”
indicator light will start to flash). At the
end of the countdown, the programme
will automatically start (the “DELAY
START” indicator light will turn off).
If you wish to see which programme has
been selected, press the "PROGRAMME
SELECTION" button.
Proceed as follows to cancel a delayed
start:
■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at
least 5 seconds.
■ The delayed start and the selected
programme will be cancelled.
The display will show the "recommended"
programme.
■ At this point, a new programme and
option buttons must be set to start a
new programme as indicated in the
"PROGRAMME SETTINGS" section.
Alarm mute for the PROGRAMME
END
The alarm for the programme end may be
muted as follows:
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher must be ALWAYS off
before start this procedure.
1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME
SELECTION" button and at the same
time switch on the dishwasher by
pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief
audible signal will sound).
2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION"
button pressed for at least 15 seconds
(during this time, 2 audible signals will
sound).
3. Release the button when the second
audible signal sounds ("b1" will appear on
the display to indicate that the alarm is on).
4. Press the same button again ("b0" will

anti-overflow safety device which will
automatically discharge any excess
water should a problem occur.
WARNING!
To ensure the correct operation of
the anti-overflow safety device, we
recommend that the dishwasher is
not moved or tilted during operation.
If however it is necessary to tilt or
move the dishwasher, please ensure
that the washing cycle is complete
and that there is no remaining water
inside the dishwasher.

Clean the filter plate.
If the problem persists, contact
Customer Service.
The water-stop device protects against water damages caused by leaks on the fill
hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose.
In the water-stop system the leaking water fills the corrugated hose and activates a
stop valve which cuts off the water supply to the machine.
This fault is shown by a red sector on the window «A».
Would this occur, please refer to your Service Agent.
If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer
one. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.
