plates, saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.

Slide the baskets back into the machine.

If you select "half load" programmes 
remember to load crockery and cutlery, only in 
the lower basket.

rotate freely.

dispenser according to the dosage quantity 
given in the "Washing programmes" chart.

Close the detergent dispenser lid.

Set 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.

If necessary select the temperature of the main 
wash according to the instructions in the 
"Washing programmes" chart (see "Required 
push buttons").

8.

Start the programme 

Depress the On/Off push button.

The On/Off indicator light will come on 
and the machine will start.

If you wish to interrupt the washing 
programme at any time press this button 
again.

At the end of the washing 
programme 

At the end of the programme the 
dishwasher will automatically stop.

The On/Off indicator light remains on until 
the On/Off push button is depressed.

10. Switch off the dishwasher

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the 
On/Off push button and open the door.

Wait a few minutes before removing the 
dishes; in this way they will be cooler and 
the drying will be improved.

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.

In general it is not advisable to open the 
door while the machine is working;if the 
door is opened however, a safety device 
ensures that the machine stops.

Important!
Care must be taken if the door is opened 
during the hot phase or immediately 
after a programme has finished, as 
steam may escape.
