Operating sequence
1. Check the filters
Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). The start of the programme is shown in the digital display and will decrease from hour to hour. The progression of the countdown will be confirmed by a flashing dot after the number in the digital display. The opening of the door will not stop the countdown. Once the delayed time has elapsed the programme will start automatically and in the digital display will appear the duration of the programme. To cancel a delay start in progress, open the door and press the Cancel push button. The delay start will be cancelled without modifying the previous selection of the washing programme with relative options. In the digital display will appear the number of the programme.
2. Press the On/Off push button
The display will show the last selected programme.
3. Check that there is rinse aid and salt
The corresponding indicator lights will illuminate if refilling is necessary.
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.
8. To cancel a programme in progress
Open the door and press the Cancel push button. An audible signal will inform you that the programme has been cancelled and in the digital display first will appear three horizontal lines --- (for about 2 seconds) and then the number of the programme just cancelled. The dishwasher has returned to setting mode and it is now possible to select a new washing programme.
5. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely 6. Measure out detergent
Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser. Important! If you select the half load option remember to reduce the quantity of detergent. Close the detergent dispenser lid.
9. At the end of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and an intermittent audible signal will be heard when the programme has ended (when the delay start has been selected the audible signal "end of programme" is automatically excluded). 3 flashing horizontal lines will appear in the digital display and all the indicator lights will turn off. Open the door and press the On/Off push button. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. 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. 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.

Close the door, the programme will start automatically and an audible signal advises you of that. The display will show the running time of the programme.

Press the button again to select the number of hours by which you wish to delay the programme start (up to a maximum of 12 hours). If the a drying option and/or half load have been selected the corresponding indicator lights will turn off, but don�t worry, the delay start will not modify the settings made previously .
