illuminates and in the digital display will appear, flashing, 
the running time of the programme that has been set (in 
minutes). 
The programme in progress indicator light illuminates.
After about 3 seconds from the last pressure of a button 
the programme starts automatically.
In the digital display the running time of the programme is 
no longer flashing, the programme in progress indicator 
light remains illuminate.

Setting and starting the programme with the 
delay start

The setting of the delay start occurs before selecting 
the programme

Press the delay start button until the flashing number of 
the hours for the delay start will appear in the digital 
display (from 1h to 19h).
Select a washing programme (see "Washing 
programmes"chart). In the digital display will appear, for a 
moment, the running time of the programme and then 
again appears the selected delay start time.
As soon as the number of hours is displayed without 
flashing, the countdown for the delay start is active. 
The countdown will decrease with steps of 1 hour.
The opening of the door during the countdown will not 
modify the delay start.
Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will start 
automatically.

Note: With the delay start function set, the programme
in progress 
indicator light is off. Once the countdown of 
the delay start has elapsed, the washing programme will 
start automatically and the programme in progress
indicator light will illuminate.

Note: it is possible to select a washing programme and 
the "delay start" also with the door slightly opened.
In this case the start of the programme or of the 
countdown will occur after the closure of the door.
Until that moment it is possible to modify the set made. 

6. To interrupt or cancel a washing 

programme in progress

Interrupt or cancel 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

a) Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. 

Close the door; the programme will start from the point 
at which it was interrupted.

b) Press the On/Off button, in this case all the indicator 

lights turn off. Press the On/Off button again; the 
programme will start from the point at which it was 
interrupted.

To cancel a washing programme in 
progress

To cancel a washing programme you have to reset the 
dishwasher; press simultaneously the function buttons 2
and for about 2 seconds, the indicator light of the 
running programme starts flashing for about 2 seconds. 
After about 2 seconds all the indicator lights will turn off 
(except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually the 
rinse aid and salt indicator lights) indicating that the 
running programme has been cancelled.

If a new washing programme will be selected, check that 
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.

7. To cancel a "delay start" in progress

To cancel a delay start in progress you have to reset the 
dishwasher; follow the same instructions given in "To 
cancel a washing programme in progress". Cancelling a 
delay start involves also the cancelling of the washing 
programme set. 
In this case you have to set the washing programme 
again.

8. End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop.

The programme in progress indicator light turns off.

The end of programme indicator light is illuminated.

In the digital display appears (remaining programme 
time), only in this case the programme has ended.

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.

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.

9. 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.

Water may appear on the sides and the door of the 
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become 
cooler than the dishes.

When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
