User instructions

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

•Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.

•Do not wash the dishes in running water.

•Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of

load.

•Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.

•If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.

•When possible, disable the drying cycle and leave the door open at

the end of the washing cycle: the residual air and heat will dry the

dishes perfectly.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT

THE ENVIRONMENT

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the

environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save

on electricity, observe the following:

•separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant

to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;

•do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program

will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will

signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1

minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is

closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This

operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it

might cause problems in execution of the program.

END OF CYCLE

At the end of the washing cycle the dishwasher

gives a short acustic signal and the program

indicators nr 4and 5start blinking (the word

"end" is displayed on the window).

To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF

button (1).

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before

removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water

droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower

basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the

upper basket.
