When the appliance is used for the first time, set the hardness of the water and also set the buzzer as required (enabled/disabled). For the relative instructions, see "CUSTOMISING YOUR APPLIANCE".

SWITCHING ON

With the door open press the ON/OFF key (A). The dishwasher comes on and the

message shown below appears on the

DISPLAY (G).

PROGRAMMING

On this model of dishwasher, all programming operations are only possible with the door open.

PROGRAM SELECTION

After the initial message, the system offers you the assisted programming function (Wizard), in which you only have to select the level of dirt and the washing strategy.

Shown on the display:

indicates its type (e.g. 45° delicate programs, 55° economy, 65° intensive, etc.); the actual temperature is displayed, stage by stage, while washing is in progress.

x Programs' duration, temperature and consumption figures are

guideline, since they depend on various factors, such as type of load, intake water temperature, room temperature, etc.

User instructions

User instructions

CONTENTS OF DISPLAY WHEN PROGRAM IS IN PROGRESS

The top line displays the temperature in the tank, alternating (every 4 seconds) with the program being performed and the current program stage. The bottom line will show the program duration "Duration XX min", where XX is the time left before the end of the program, in minutes.

If DELAYED START (C) is set, until the program starts the second line shows the message "Starting in YY hh/mm", where YY are the hours (from 1-12/1-24 depending on model) or minutes (when less than 1 hour) left before the program starts.

Any warning messages (e.g. "No salt") will appear on the DISPLAY (G) during the washing stage, alternating with the time left to the end of the program.

If the 3/1 PRODUCTS function (only available on some models) is set, the no salt and no rinse aid warning messages do not appear.

INTERRUPTING A PROGRAM

To interrupt a program, press the START/PAUSE key (F) and keep it pressed until "In pause" appears on the bottom line of the DISPLAY (G).

To restart the program, repeat this operation until "Duration XX min" reappears on the bottom line of the display.

Opening the door only cuts out the program in progress, but this is not recommended, since water splashes or gusts of steam might escape. When the door is closed the program restarts automatically, even it was interrupted by pressing the START/PAUSE key (F).

User instructions

CHANGING THE PROGRAM

To change a program while it is running, proceed as follows:

x press key (F) to set the program in pause status; x open the door and select the new program using key (B); x close the door; the changes relating to the new program will

appear on the DISPLAY (G).

ANNULLING A PROGRAM

x To annul a program while it is running, it must first be interrupted by

pressing key (F);

x then open the door and press key (B) in repetition until you obtain

"Cancel program";

x close the door. "Draining" will appear on the DISPLAY (G) and the

dishwasher will start to pump out the water. This will be completed in about 1 minute and "Program end" will appear on the top line of the display.

Before the door is closed, a long washing time will appear alongside "Draining". This is not a malfunction but simply a stage in the time update process; the time will be corrected to 1 minute when the door is closed.

END OF PROGRAM

At the end of the program the buzzer sounds (if enabled), after which the temperature and program name will alternate with "Program end" on the top line of the DISPLAY (G); the bottom line continues to show "Duration XX min".

User instructions

OPTIONS (available in all programs except the soak program)

Options must be chosen before closing the door to start the program, or at the end of assisted programming, when the DISPLAY (G) offers the option selection function (button B/C to accept). If DELAYED START (C) has been set, before the program starts the user may open the door and set one of the other options, or modify the DELAYED START.

To select the option press (D); to enable/disable it press (E).

For an option to be confirmed it needs only to appear on the display. Then close the door to start the program, or move on to select another option.

Depending on the model the dishwasher may feature one, some or all of the options listed below.

All the options are disabled at the end of the program.

DELAYED START (depending on model)

Shown on the DISPLAY (G): "Start delay h 0, 1, .....12/24".

The start of the washing program can be set with a delay from 1 to 12/24 hours. This function allows you to set the dishwasher to work at your preferred time of day and avoid having several appliances (washing machine, oven, etc.) in operation simultaneously.

The start delay can only be set in steps of 1 hour. Press key (C) in repetition until you obtain the delay required, then close the door to start or select another option. When the door is closed the dishwasher performs a prewash, after which the countdown to the starting time begins. The bottom line of the DISPLAY (G) shows "Starting in X h" or "Starting in Y min" (when less than 1 hour is left).

User instructions

The delay selected can be modified during the time between setting of the option and the program start; simply open the door and repeat the

DELAYED START selection procedure.

HALF-LOAD WASH (depending on model)

Shown on the DISPLAY (G): "Half load Off/Upper/Lower".

Press key (D) to display the "Half load" option, then use key (E) to select "Upper" if you wish to wash in the top basket only, or "Lower" to wash in the bottom basket only. Return to "Off" for normal washing with full load in both baskets.

One half of the cutlery basket can be placed in the basket selected for the HALF LOAD program.

WARNING: dishes and cutlery placed in the basket not selected will not be washed.

USE OF 3/1 PRODUCTS OPTION (depending on model)

Shown on the DISPLAY (G): "3/1/Normal detergent".

Press (D) to display the option and press (E) to enable the (3/1) option or return to the use of normal detergent (Normal).

This option has been developed for use with powder or tablet detergents containing substances that substitute for regenerating salt and rinse aid, known on the market as "3 in 1" or "triple action" products. In this case the dishwasher will make the most effective use of the product, not using any salt or rinse aid which the appliance may contain.

User instructions

If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the 3/1 option is activated, the DISPLAY (G) flashes, warning of a setting error,

because these products are not suitable for use with very hard water. This does not prevent the use of the option, but the washing results might not be of the best.

EXTRA SANITISATION RINSE (depending on model)

Shown on the DISPLAY (G): "Extra hygiene 1/0".

Press (D) to display the option and press (E) to enable (1 on display) or disable (0 on display) it.

This function performs an extra sanitising rinse at the end of the washing cycle, assuring a further reduction in the number of bacteria present.

If the temperature falls while the sanitisation rinse is in progress (e.g. due to a power blackout or because the door is opened), the DISPLAY (G) flashes until the dishwasher is switched off or a new program is set, to warn that the option has not been carried out.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

x Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. x Do not wash the dishes in running water. x Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of

load.

x Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing. x 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: x separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more

resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;

x do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

REMOVING THE DISHES
