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. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button. 

3. Measure out the detergent. 

(see adjacent information).

4. Load the racks (

see Loading the racks

).

(see Table of wash cycles)

 by pressing the

. 

(see Special wash cycles and 

Options)

.

7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door.
8. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and by the 
flashing of the indicator light of the selected wash cycle. Open 

the  door,  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 in order to 

avoid burns. 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.

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. 

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: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, 

and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch 
off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and 

select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start the 
cycle by closing the door. 

Adding extra crockery

Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care 

to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the 
dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point at 
which it was interrupted.

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.
