1. Check the filters

Ensure they are clean and properly positioned
(see "Maintenance and cleaning").

2. Check that there is rinse aid and
salt

3. Load the dishes

Remove any scraps of food.
Pull the lower basket out and arrange the

saucepans, plates and cutlery in it.
Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates,

saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.
Slide the baskets back into the machine.

4. Ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.

5. Measure out detergent

Add the required amount of detergent into the
dispenser according to the "Washing programmes"
chart.

Close the detergent dispenser lid.

6. Set the programme

The selection of the programme occurs with the
door partially opened.

Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the
number of the programme you wish to select
corresponds with the programme marker on the
control panel.

7. Start the programme

Depress the On/Off push button and close the door,
the machine will start.

If you wish to interrupt the washing programme at
any time open the door and press this button again.

8. At the end of the washing
programme

At the end of the programme the dishwasher will
automatically stop.

9. Switch off the dishwasher

Wait 15/20 minutes before opening the
dishwasher’s door; in this way you will avoid
burning yourself removing the dishes and avoid
also the damage of the nearby furniture caused
by the escape of steam.

Open the door and switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off push button.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one;
this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket
onto the dishes in the lower one.

When the washing programme has finished, it
is recommended that the dishwasher is
unplugged and the water tap turned off.

In general it is not advisable to open the door
while the machine is working; if the door is
opened however, a safety device ensures that
the machine stops.

Important!
Care must be taken if the door is opened during
the hot phase or immediately after a
programme has finished, as steam may escape.

Operating sequence

Loading your appliance

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.

Do not load very small items which can fall
through the baskets.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids,
plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can
turn freely.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position
are a potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving knives must be positioned horizontally in
the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items
such as knives.

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket
with the handles facing downwards.

If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the
handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items on and underneath the cup rack so that water
can reach all surfaces.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper
basket and arranged so they do not move.

In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:

load them starting from the rear positions of the basket;
tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions
near the door.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray
arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper
basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after
moving the upper basket to the higher position.

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket

outwards and slide the basket out.

2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the
stops (A) in their original position.

When the top basket is in the higher position it
will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and
you will not be able to use the raised cup racks.

After loading your machine always close the
door, as an open door can be a hazard.
