Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning").

10. Switch off the dishwasher
Open the door and switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler. 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.
4. 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. If half load option is selected remember to arrange crockery and cutlery only in the lower basket.
11. Cancel a programme
To change a programme in progress, open the door and press the push button of the programme under way for more then 1 second, until the corresponding indicator light goes out. The dishwasher is now reset and you can select a new programme.
5. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely
6. Measure out detergent
Add the required amount of detergent according to the dosage quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. If you select the half load option remember to reduce the quantity of detergent. Close the detergent dispenser lid.
Important! 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. Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Close the door. An audible signal advises you that the programme has started. The indicator light which corresponds to the programme under way is now permanently on.
