TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• Always try to run the dishwasher

fully loaded

• Do not wash the dishes in running water.

disable the drying cycle

and leave the door open at the end of the washing cycle: the residual air and heat will dry the dishes perfectly.

the detergent directly on the dishes.

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.

indicators

nr 4 and 5 start blinking (the word

REMOVING THE DISHES
