● Check if it’s necessary to refill with special salt or rinse aid
● Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
● Fill with dishwasher detergent .
● Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and
dishes.
● Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can
absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
● Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove large left-overs.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
● When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the
spray arms .
- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with
the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the
container or a deep base.
- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one
another, or cover each other.
- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
● Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendancy to
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
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 spray arms 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.
For best results we
recommend you to use the
cutlery grid provided (if the
size and dimensions of the
cutlery allow it).
In daily use
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are of limited suitability:
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour
during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and
mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number
of washes
are not suitable:
- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother-of-pearl handles
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not
temperature resistant
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes
- Pewter or copper items
- Lead crystal glass
- Steel items subject to rusting
- Wooden platters
- Items made from synthetic fibres

The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the cup racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates 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 basket is in the
higher position you will not
be able to use the cup
rack(s).
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.

(1) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres"). This programme, developed for the use of detergents with
enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of
washing and drying have been extended.
(2) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by
the variations of the power supply.

1. Check that the baskets have been
loaded correctly and that the spray
arms can rotate freely
2. Turn on the water tap
3. Close the dishwasher door
4. Setting and starting the programme
Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the letter
of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the
programme marker on the control panel (see "Washing
programmes" chart).
If necessary select the temperature of the main wash
according to the instructions given in the "Washing
programmes" chart (see "Required temperature push
button").
Press the On/Off push button; the On/Off indicator light will
illuminate and the programme will start automatically.
5. To interrupt a washing programme in
progress
Interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLY if
it’s absolutely necessary
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. Open the door carefully.
To interrupt a washing programme in
progress
● Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.
Close the door; the programme will start from the
point in which it was interrupted.
● Press the On/Off push button (in this case the On/Off
indicator light turns off). Press the On/Off push button
again; the programme will start from the point in which it
was interrupted.
6. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push
button. The On/Off indicator light turns off.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing
the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying
will be improved.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.
Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from
the appliance.
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.
