USER INSTRUCTIONS

Only run the soak program with half loads.
To run programs 6, 7, 8, 9 (see tab. 2-03b), select the required standard pro­gram (see programs 2, 3, 4, 5 in tab. 2-03a) and then press the “soak” button
(program 1 in tab. 2-03a).
The half-load option (ref. 3 fi g. 2-03) is available for all programs, except the

soak program.

After using the above tables to choose the most suitable washing cycle, pro­gram the appliance.

Before starting a washing program, make sure that:

The water supply tap is open.

•

There is regenerating salt in the water softener tank (to add

•

salt, see the instructions in the general manual).

The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dis-

•
penser (to add detergent, see the instructions in the general

manual).
The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruc-

•
tion.
The racks have been correctly loaded (see the instructions in

•
the general manual).
The dishwasher door is securely closed.

•

2.2.1 Switching on

Press the on/off button (ref. 1 fi g. 2-03) to start the dishwasher. The relative
indicator light (ref. 6 fi g. 2-03) shines. Approximately 3 seconds later, the dis-
play (ref. 8 fi g. 2-03) will light up, showing information that will depend upon
the state of the dishwasher.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

2.2.2 Selecting a program

In this dishwasher model all programming operations can only be performed
with the door closed. With the door open, the symbols “--” appear on the
display (ref. 8 fi g. 2-03) and the program indicator lights (ref. 7 fi g. 2-03)
remain off.
Select the programs using the relative buttons (see P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 fi g. 2-

04). Press the button relative to the required program (see tab. 2-03a, 2-03b).
The relative indicator light shines to confi rm the operation and the estimated
cycle time in hours and minutes (“h.mm”) appears on the display (ref. 8 fi g.
2-03).
If required, press the relative buttons to select any complementary programs
(e.g.: “Half-load”, “Sani option”, “program delay”; see para 2.2.8 “Options”).

EN

Fig. 2-04

2.2.3 Starting a program

To start the dishwasher, simply press the start/pause button (ref. 5 fi g. 2-03)
for a few seconds until the “Time to end” message on the display starts fl ash­ing and a beep is heard. From now on, the cycle time shown on the display
(ref. 8 fi g. 2-03) will decrease. This time, which is updated during the washing
cycle, is “indicative” given that it is affected by washing conditions such as the
quantity and type of dishes, the inlet water temperature, etc.. It is therefore
normal to see this time change during a program (increases or decreases in
minutes), especially when moving on from one phase to the next (e.g.: from
washing to rinsing).

EN

USER INSTRUCTIONS

2.2.4 End of program

The end of the program is signaled by a short beep and the message “End”
appears on the display (ref. 8 fi g. 2-03). Press any of the program buttons to
cancel “End” from the display and prepare the dishwasher for a new cycle; this
can also be done by opening and closing the door or switching the appliance
off and back on again.

2.2.5 Interrupting a program

To interrupt the current program:

•

press the start/pause button (ref. 5 fi g. 2-03) for a few seconds until “Time
to end” shines steady on the display (and a beep is heard). At this point the
cycle can be resumed, by pressing the start/pause button (ref. 5 fi g. 2-03),
changed or cancelled.

2.2.6 Changing the current program

To change the current program:

interrupt it (see para 2.2.5 “Interrupting a program”);

•
select a new program (see para 2.2.2 “Selecting a program”);

•
press the start/pause button (ref. 5 fi g. 2-03) to start the new program.

•

2.2.7 Canceling the current program

To cancel the current program, fi rst interrupt it (see para 2.2.5 “Interrupting a
program”). Then press buttons P1+P2 (see fi g. 2-05) together until the fi rst three
program indicator lights turn on. The display indicates “P0” and the dishwasher
automatically goes to the end of the cycle, draining the water from the tray (dur­ing this phase, “Time to end” fl ashes on the display). When draining has been
completed, the end of cycle message “End” appears on the display.

Fig. 2-05

EN

IF YOU OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE APPLIANCE IS WORK­ING, YOU MUST CLOSE IT AGAIN AND START THE PROGRAM
AGAIN AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 2.2.3 “STARTING A
PROGRAM”. THE PROGRAM WILL RESUME FROM WHERE IT
WAS INTERRUPTED. IF THE TEMPERATURE IN THE TRAY EX-

CEEDS 50°C (122° F), THE PROGRAM WILL RESUME AFTER
ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

IF THE DOOR OF THE DISHWASHER HAS NOT BEEN CLOSED OR
HAS BEEN INCORRECTLY CLOSED, THE WASHING CYCLE WILL
NOT BEGIN.

3 ENERGY SAVING AND ENVIRONMENTAL

RESPECT

•

Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.

•

Do not wash the dishes under a running tap.

•

Use the most suitable washing program for each type of load.

•

Do not pre-rinse.

•

If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water system with a tempera­ture of up to 60°C (140°F).

•

When possible, skip the drying cycle by opening the door after washing:
the air and the residue heat will dry the dishes to perfection.

3.1 Reducing the consumption of detergent

and respecting 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:

Separate the more delicate items from those that are more resistant to ag-

•
gressive detergents and high temperatures;

Do not pour the detergent directly onto the dishes.
