INTRODUCTION
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. Following the cleaning instructions
provided here will keep dishwasher performance at peak
levels in the long term. This user- friendly manual will provide answers to all your questions about use of the dishwasher.
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.
Useful advice is provided for the use of racks, spray
arms, containers and filters.
WARNINGS: a list of warnings concerning safety and
use of the dish- washer.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: for the qualified tech-
nician who must carry out the installation, hook-up and
testing of the appliance.
Nomenclature of figures and tables:
The progressive number of each figure is shown in the
bottom right- hand corner of the relative box. An example
of a progressive number is “Fig. 4-01”, where the first
number (4) indicates the section to which the figure belongs, while the second number (01) indicates the progressive number of the figure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is
the first figure 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 first 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”).

USER INSTRUCTIONS
2.2.2 Selecting and starting the program
• Press the program selection button (ref. 3 fig. 2-02) several times until
the indicator light corresponding to the required program turns on (ref.
2 fig. 2-02);
• if required, press the relative buttons to select any complementary functions (e.g.: “extra drying”, “program delay”; see para 2.2.7 “options”);
• close the door; the program will start after about 2 seconds and the
relative indicator light will flash throughout the cycle (program¬ running
signal).
IMPORTANT
The door of the dishwasher must be closed within 4 seconds
after use of the program selection button for all functions
(e.g. program selection, change, deletion, etc.).
If the door is not closed within 4 seconds, one or more pro-
gram lights (depending on the current operation) will flash at
high speed to indicate that the operation must be confirmed
before the door is closed.
To confirm, simply press the program selection button
once and the flashes will slow down; close the door at once to
start/ restart the dishwasher.
The same applies if the dishwasher is opened with the pro-
gram delay option set and the cycle not started (e.g. to
add more dishes): the program selection button must be
pressed before the door is closed, restarting the program
delay countdown.
If the door of the dishwasher has not been closed or has been
incorrectly closed, the washing cycle will not begin.
FAST CYCLES OPTION
• Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak
program) to SHORTEN the cycle by a minimum of 10% to a maximum
of 55%, depending on the cycle selected. To activate this option, press
the FAST CYCLES button (light comes on) after selecting the
program required. The option is automatically deactivated at the end of
the program.

PROGRAM IN PROGRESS INDICATOR LIGHT
(on some models only)
When a program is running, a flashing light is projected onto the floor under the right-hand corner of the door. At the end of the program, the light
goes out to reduce sleep mode electricity consumption.
2.2.4 Interrupting a program
To interrupt the current program simply open the door of the dishwasher;
to restart the program, simply close the door again. The program restarts
from where it was interrupted.

and select the new program. Close the door to run the new program automatically.
2.2.6 Canceling the current program
• To cancel the current program, open the door and press and hold down the
program selection button (ref. 3 fig. 2-02) for a few seconds until the indicator lights of the fourth and fifth programs turn on (ref. pr. 4, pr. 5 fig. 2-03).

2.2.7 Options
Function designed for loads with hard to dry item s such as saucepans,
non-stick pans and plastic containers. Increases the hot rinse temperature and can be used in programmes featuring a final drying phase (see
programmes table).
PROGRAM DELAY
(available for all programs except soak)
The “Program delay” function delays the beginning of the washing program up to 24 hours from the moment in which programming takes place.
This makes it possible to use the dishwasher at a certain time of day.
Before programming a delay, open the door of the dishwasher, select the
required washing program (see para 2.2 “Setting the washing program
and switching on and off”). Select the day by pressing the Program delay
button (ref. 11 fig. 2-02); each time you press the button, the display increases the delay before the appliance starts by 1 hour.
SPREAD HALF LOAD
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy
and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load
the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load.
˜˜˜
ENERSAVE OPTION
This option further reduces energy consumption by opening the
door at the end of the cycle for more effective drying. At the end
of the wash an automatic device releases the door, which slowly
opens by a few centimetres. This allows optimal drying even with
low rinsing temperatures, for significant energy saving.
The dishwasher remains in an idle state between the rinse stage
and the end of the cycle to allow proper drying (the display
shows the time left until the end of the cycle). Opening the door
at this stage causes the cycle to stop and ends the program.
The program end is signalled by a short beep and the flashing
of the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5.
Enersave is activated automatically if the selected program is
compatible with the option. It can be deactivated before the program is started.
When the function is activated, opening of the door must not
be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the necessary
space in front of the door to allow it to open. Do not force the
door lock before the end of the cycle is signalled, as this would
damage the mechanism.

To access the setting function, hold the button down for more than 15
seconds. The WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT
(4) flashes, while the SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (2)
show the current setting. Each pressure on the button changes the setting
following the sequence in the table below:

3 ENERGY SAVING AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSID-
ERATIONS
• 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 wash-
ing: the air and the residue heat will dry the dishes to perfection.
3.1 Reducing the consumption of detergent and re-
specting 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
aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
• Do not pour the detergent directly onto the dishes.
