(1) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres"). This programme, developed for the use of detergents with
enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of
washing and drying have been extended.
(2) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by
the variations of the power supply.

1. Check that the baskets have been
loaded correctly and that the spray
arms can rotate freely
2. Turn on the water tap
3. Close the dishwasher door
4. Setting and starting the programme
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 (see "Washing
programmes" chart).
If necessary select the temperature of the main wash
according to the instructions given in the "Washing
programmes" chart (see "Required temperature push
button").
Press the On/Off push button; the On/Off indicator light will
illuminate and the programme will start automatically.
5. To interrupt a washing programme in
progress
Interrupt 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.
To interrupt a washing programme in
progress
● Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.
Close the door; the programme will start from the
point in which it was interrupted.
● Press the On/Off push button (in this case the On/Off
indicator light turns off). Press the On/Off push button
again; the programme will start from the point in which it
was interrupted.
6. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push
button. The On/Off indicator light turns off.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing
the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying
will be improved.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.
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.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
