Starting a wash cycle
After having completed all of the installation steps in the preced-
ing paragraphs, turn on the water all the way and press the ON-
OFF button (B) located on the control pannel. The "A" indicator
light will come on. At this point, the appliance is on but you must
wait a few seconds before programming the cycle setting.
Cancelling or modifying a cycle
A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been
running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have al-
ready been used, and the appliance mayhave already drained
the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must
be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent").
To modify a cycle that is already underway, press the ON/OFF
button (B), all of the settings will be cancelled. To set a new
cycle, follow the instructions contained in the paragraph entitled
"Setting and starting a wash cycle".
Setting the Wash Cycle with a Delayed Start Time
1/2 load Button
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel", letter"E") makes
it possible to wash dishes using only the upper rack if there are
not enough dishes for a full load. This will allow you to save on
water and power. It can be used before setting any of the wash
cycle, except for the intensive cycle ( if included in the wash cycle
table). Please keep in mind that the amount of detergent should
also be cut in half.
During the delay period, it is preferable not to change any of the
settings, If this is necessary, all of the settings must be cancelled
by pressing the ON/OFF button (B).
At this point, all of the steps for "setting the wash cycle with a
Delayed Start Time" and "Setting and Starting a wash cycle" must
be repeated, following the instructions contained in the correspond-
ing sections.
If the door is opened to the unit during the delay period, the count-
down will stop. It wil begin again when the door is closed.
All of the wash cycle set to reverse time function, we may in
focus stat circulate time.
At the end of the wash cycle
Six beeps will indicate that the wash cycle has finished and the
cycle indicator light (J) for the cycle will begin to die out. Turn off
the appliance using the ON-OFF button. Turn off the water sup-
ply to the appliance and open the door. Wait a few minutes be-
fore unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and
utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage.
They will also dry better.

Setting and Starting a wash Cycle
Select the desired cycle by pressing the selector button (I). Each
time the button is pressed, one of the "J" cycle indicator lights will
come on in succession. Choose the wash cycle you feel is most
appropriate for the type of dishes that need washing (consult the
wash cycle table contained in this manual. After a few seconds,
the wash cycle has begun and can no longer be changed. If
necessary, read the paragraph entitled "Cancelling or modifying a
cycle"
Wash Cycle Program Light
The dishwasher is equipped with a LED indicator light (J) that
turns on when the appliance is running the wash cycle.
By pressing the "D" button (see close-up view-'Control panel")
the start of wash cycle can be delayed for between 1 to 12 hours.
Each time the button is pressed, the display (C) will show the
number of hours for the delay period. Choose the amount of
time desired. After selecting the wash cycle, a short acoustic sig-
nal will sound and after a few seconds, the delay time on the dis-
play will blink, This indicates that the countdown has begun.
After the time has lapsed, the cycle will start.

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results
in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to
remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed. This
will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on
the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as
shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
- The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that
larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.B) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This
also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be
placed in the upper rack.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons
should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe-
cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at
the front of the upper rack.
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls
and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved
by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs lo-
cated on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.C).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more
space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom
basket.
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not
against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack.
The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required(see
fig.D).
Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you the
freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and out of
harm’s way (see fig.E).
