Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct 

amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated 

amount does not result in a more effective wash and 

increases environmental pollution.

Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be 

adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid   

detergent.

In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately 

either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). 

If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed 

with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce 

the amount of detergent used accordingly.  

For good washing results also follow the instructions shown 

on the detergent box.

For further questions please ask the detergent producers' 

Advice Offices.

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.

                                    
Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only.  

Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly 

inside the tub.

1.

 When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash 

cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment 

B

 comprises 

a  level  showing  the  maximum  quantity  of  liquid  or  powder 

detergent that can be added to each cycle.

2.

 Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser 

and close the cover until it clicks.

3.

 Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until 

the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time     

according to the wash cycle.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS 

option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing 

and drying results are always achieved.

Only use detergent which has been specifically designed 

for dishwashers.

DO NOT USE washing-up liquid.

Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue 

remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.  

The use of tablets is only recommended for models which 

offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

To achieve the best results from each washing and drying 

cycle, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid and salt should 

be used.

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on. 
2. Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent 

(see Measuring out the detergent).

4. Load the racks 

(see Loading the racks)

 and shut the door.

5. Select the wash cycle by turning the SELECT WASH CYCLE 

knob: align the notch on the knob with the number or symbol 

representing  the  desired  wash  cycle.  The  START/PAUSE 

indicator light will go on.
6. Select the wash options

*

(see  Options  and  Special  Wash 

Cycles).

7. Start the cycle by pressing the START button; the indicator 

light will stop flashing and stay lit (fixed light). The indicator light 
corresponding to the wash phase will go on, signalling that the 
wash cycle has begun.

8. At the end of the wash cycle the END indicator light will go on 
(fixed light). Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF 

button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from 
the electricity socket.

9. Wait a few minutes before removing the crockery to avoid 

getting burnt. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.

- The machine will switch off automatically during long 

periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity 
consumption.

Changing a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made in the wash-cycle selection process, it is 
possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun: 
once the wash cycle has started, in order to change the wash 

cycle switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/
OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and 

select the desired wash cycle and options.

Adding extra crockery

Press the Start/Pause button and open the door, taking care to 

avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the 

dishwasher. Press the Start/Pause button: The cycle will start 

again after a long beep has been emitted. 

If the delayed start has been set, at the end of the countdown 

the wash cycle will not start. It will stay in Pause mode.

Press the Start/Pause button to pause the machine; the wash 

cycle is stopped.
At this stage the wash cycle cannot be changed.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle or there is a power 
cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it 
was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity 
supply restored.
