1. Check that the baskets have been

4. Setting and starting the programme
Turn the programme selector dial until the marker on the

"Washing programmes" chart).
The On/Off indicator light illuminates.
The indicator lights of the phases foreseen for the 
programme start flashing.
Press the START/CANCEL button, the programme starts 
automatically and the START/CANCEL indicator light 
illuminates.
The indicator light of the phase in progress is illuminated.
NOTE: during the running of the programme, it is not
possible to change the selection made by positioning the 
programme selector dial in correspondence of another 
programme. If you want to change the running washing 
programme you must cancel the selection made (see "To 
cancel a washing programme in progress").
NOTE: the washing programme will begin only after 
having pressed the START/CANCEL button. Until that 
moment it is possible to modify the selection made. 
5. To interrupt or cancel a washing
programme in progress
Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress 
ONLY if it’s absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is 
opened. Open the door carefully.
Interrupt a washing programme in progress
Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. 
Close the door; the programme will start from the point at 
which it was interrupted.
Cancel a washing programme in progress
Press the START/CANCEL button for about 5 seconds.
The START/CANCEL indicator light turns off and the 
phase indicator lights are flashing.
The running programme has been cancelled and it is now 
possible to set a new washing programme.
If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.
6. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will stop automatically.
The illumination of the END indicator light indicates that 
the programme has ended. 
Switch off the dishwasher by returning the programme 
selector dial to the Off position. 
The On/Off indicator light turns off.
Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar and wait a few 
minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will 
be cooler and the drying will be improved.
7. Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should 
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from 
the appliance.
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.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the 
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become 
cooler than the dishes.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
