1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of our products. To use this dishwasher
correctly and safely, please read this manual carefully. The manual is
divided into sections giving you a step-by-step guide to all your appliance’s functions. The texts are easy to understand and are complete with detailed illustrations. This user-friendly manual will provide
answers to all your questions about use of the dishwasher.
Before using this dishwasher, carefully read chapter 2 “Use and
safety warnings” of the attached general manual.
For any other information about use and maintenance of the dishwasher, read the enclosed general manual carefully.
This manual comprises the following sections:
INTRODUCTION: general information about the manual
USER INSTRUCTIONS: advice on using the washing programs and
information about all the dishwasher functions.
Nomenclature of fi gures and tables:
The progressive number of each fi gure is shown in the bottom righthand corner of the relative box. An example of a progressive number
is “Fig. 4-01”, where the fi rst number (4) indicates the section to
which the fi gure belongs, while the second number (01) indicates
the progressive number of the fi gure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is the
fi rst fi gure in section 4). The tables are numbered in the same way,
bearing in mind that “Tab.” is used instead of “Fig.” (e.g.: Tab. 4-01
is the fi rst table in section 4). If a table occupies more than one page,
a letter is added after the progressive number (e.g.: “Tab. 4-01a”,
Tab. 4-01b”).

2.2.4 Interrupting a program
To interrupt the current program simply open the door of the dishwasher; to
