Operating sequence
1. Check the filters
Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning").
9. Switch off the dishwasher
Open the door and switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
2. Check that there is rinse aid and salt
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.
3. Load the dishes
Remove any scraps of food. Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans, plates and cutlery in it. Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates, saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it. Slide the baskets back into the machine.
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops. Important! Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.
4. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 5. Measure out detergent
Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser according to the dosage quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. Close the detergent dispenser lid.
6. Set the programme
The selection of a programme occurs with the door partially opened. 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. If necessary select the temperature of the main wash according to the instructions in the "Washing programmes" chart (see "Required push buttons").
7. Start the programme
Depress the On/Off push button and close the door, the machine will start automatically. If you wish to interrupt the washing programme at any time open the door and press this button again.
8. At the end of the washing programme
At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop.
