off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the
water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.
9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in

Modifying a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection
process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has
only just begun: open the door, taking care to avoid the
escaping steam, and press the WASH CYCLE SELECT
button, holding it for 4 seconds. After one long beep and three
short beeps, the WASH CYCLE indicator light will switch off:
select the new wash cycle and start the programme by
shutting the door.
Adding extra crockery
Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and
place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the
cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a
power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at
which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the
electricity supply is restored.
Loading the detergent
A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of
detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer.
Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a
more effective wash and pollutes the environment.
To obtain the best results from each washing and drying cy-
cle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be
used.

Washing options
Delayed start
It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle by 2, 4 or 6
hours.
1. Press the DELAYED START button: every time the button is
pressed, a beep is emitted and the selected delayed start
indicator light illuminates.
2. Select the wash cycle and shut the door: after the beep
sounds, the timer begins counting down.
3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off
and the wash cycle begins.
To adjust the delay time and select a smaller period of time,
press the DELAYED START button. To cancel it, press the
button repeatedly until the selected delayed start indicator
light switches off. The wash cycle will start automatically as
soon as the door is shut.
Half load using the upper or lower rack*
If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half load cycle
may be used in order to save water, electricity and detergent.
Before selecting the wash cycle press the HALF LOAD button
repeatedly: the indicator light will illuminate and the wash cycle
will take place only in the upper or the lower rack.
Remember to load the upper or lower rack only, and to reduce
the amount of detergent accordingly.
It is better to use powder detergent in this case.
Extra drying*
To make sure that the crockery is completely dry at the end of
the cycle, press the EXTRA DRYING button before selecting
the wash cycle. A prolonged beep will sound to indicate that
this option has been selected and a short beep will sound to
indicate when it has been deselected.
This option is incompatible with the soak cycle.
If the Extra drying option is selected, the wash cycles will last
longer.
* Only available in selected models.
• for powder detergent use
compartments A and B
• for tablets, use
compartment A and the
bottom of the appliance, i.e.
when the cycle requires 1
tablet, place it in compartment
A and close the cover; when it
requires 2, place the second
tablet at the bottom of the
appliance.
