Loading Cutlery and Dishes

Before Loading:

• Remove large leftovers and soften remnants of burnt food in pans.

Loading Notes:

• Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
• Load hollow items (cups, glasses, pans) with the opening downwards so water cannot collect.
• Dishes and cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, ensure they do not touch.
• Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

The Lower Basket

The lower basket is designed for saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring the spray arms can turn freely.

The Cutlery Basket

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery, such as carving knives, must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with handles facing downwards, and knives with handles facing upwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

The Upper Basket

The upper basket is designed for plates, salad bowls, cups, and glasses. Arrange items so water can reach all surfaces. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards. Light items (plastic bowls, etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

Fill with Detergent

Note: Only use detergents specifically designed for dishwashers.

1. If the lid is closed, press the release button (1). The lid springs open. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels.
2. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10g) placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3). This detergent takes effect during the prewash phase.
3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Washing Programmes

The following table details the available washing programmes:

Starting a Washing Machine

1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and the spray arms can rotate freely.
2. Set the washing programme by pressing the programme selection/cancel button until the indicator light corresponding to the desired washing programme illuminates. The end of cycle indicator light flashes.
3. Once the washing programme has been set, close the dishwasher's door; the programme will start automatically.

To Interrupt a Washing Programme in Progress

1. Open the dishwasher's door; the programme will stop.
2. Close the door; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.

To Cancel a Washing Programme in Progress

1. Open the dishwasher's door.
2. Press the programme selection/cancel button for about 3 seconds, until the indicator light of the running programme turns off and the end of cycle indicator light flashes. The machine has returned to setting mode and it is possible to select another washing programme.

Note: Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress only if it is absolutely necessary. Hot steam may escape when the door is opened.

End of the Washing Programme

1. The dishwasher will automatically stop.
2. An audible signal informs you of the end of the washing programme.
3. Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar, and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes.
4. The end of cycle indicator light is on. The indicator light of the programme just ended is on.
5. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.

Unloading the Dishwasher

1. Allow the dishes to cool down before removing from the appliance.
2. 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.
3. Water may appear on the sides and door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.
