SELECTING HALF LOAD WASH

This function is ideal for small loads and saves water and electricity. It is
controlled by the

HALF LOAD (10)

button, with two alternatives:

1) press the button

once

to select washing in the

top basket

(the

relative light comes on);

2) press the button

a second time

to select washing in the

bottom

basket

(the relative light comes on);

3) press the button

a third time

to return to the normal

full load

washing mode (washing in both baskets, both lights off).

When washing in the

bottom basket

only,

the cutlery basket can be

divided

so that

only half is used.

EXTRA PROGRAMS

Button

(6)

gives access to

five extra programs

in addition to the ones
which can be selected directly using the program selector button.
This button must be pressed (the light comes on)

after

selection of the
"main" program (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5).
This function

is retained in the memory

, so the button has to be
pressed again (the light goes out) if the user wishes to execute one of
the 5 main programs at the next cycle.

"3/1" OPTION BUTTON
(available in all programs except the soak program)

By pressing the button

(8)

you activate the "

3/1

" option, confirmed when
the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of
dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of
regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as “3 in 1” or “triple
action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an
optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could
already be found in the dishwasher.

Note:

When selecting the "

3/1

" button, it is normal that the salt and

rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty.

DELAYING THE PROGRAM

The

PROGRAM DELAY

button

(12)

can be pressed to delay the start of

the program by up to

9 hours.

This means that the dishwasher can be
operated at the time of day of your choice. Press the button several
times in succession and the display will show the delay with which the
appliance will start, beginning from

9 hours

.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• Always try to run the dishwasher

fully loaded

.

• Do not wash the dishes in running water.

• Use the washing program that is

most appropriate

for each type of

load.

• Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.

• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save
on electricity, observe the following:

•

separate

the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant

to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;

•

do not pour

the detergent directly on the dishes.

If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program
will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will
signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about

1

minute

before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is
closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This
operation should

only be carried out if strictly necessary

, because it

might cause problems in execution of the program.

To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the

ON/OFF

button

(1)

.

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least

20 minutes

before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower
basket, it is

advisable

to unload the lower basket first, and then the

upper basket.
