Detergent and
dishwasher use
Measuring out the detergent
Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of
detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not
result in a more effective wash and increases environmental
pollution.
The amount can be adjusted to the soil level.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either
25g (powder detergent) or 25ml (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.
Open the detergent dispenser using button D and measure out
the detergent according to the Table of wash cycles:
• powder or liquid: compartments
A (wash detergent) and B (pre-
wash detergent)
• tablets: when the cycle
requires 1 tablet, place it in
compartment A and close cover
C; when it requires 2 tablets,
place the second tablet on the
bottom of the appliance.
Remove detergent residues
from the edges of the compartment and close cover C until it
clicks.
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 residues
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined
use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.
We recommend using detergents that do not contain
phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful
to the environment.
* Only available in selected models.
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.
AUTO WASH CYCLES*: some models of dishwasher are
equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient and
economic wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto wash
cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.
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.
