PROGRAMME SELECTION
AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
(Use in conjunction with programme guide)
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher has two very practical
functions:
- the "recommended" programme
(which is set in the factory and is
ideal for full-load daily use) for quick
and accurate selection;
- the memory function which saves
the last programme used, so that if
you regularly use the same washing
cycle, you do not have to re-set the
programme every time, thereby
saving time and effort.
Programme settings
■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes
inside the appliance.
■ Press the "ON/OFF" button .
The indicator light for the "recommended"
programme or the indicator light for the
last programme used will flash.
■ If you wish to select an option, press the
option button (the corresponding indicator
light will light up).
The option button can be selected or
deselected WITHIN one minute of the
programme commencing.
■ Choose a programme by pressing the
corresponding button.
■ Close the door (after an audible signal
has sounded, the programme will start
automatically).
WITHIN one minute of the programme
commencing, another programme
can be selected, simply by pressing
the corresponding button.
IMPORTANT
To select the "COLD RINSE" programme,
simultaneously press the "RAPID"
programme button and "HALF LOAD"
option button.
Programme interruption
Opening the door when a programme is
running is not recommended especially
during the main wash and final hot rinse
phases. However, if the door is opened
while a programme is running (for example,
to add dishes) the machine stops
automatically. Close the door, without
pressing any buttons. The cycle will start
from where it left off.
WARNING!
If you open the door during the
drying cycle, an audible audio signal
advises you that the drying cycle has
not yet finished.
Changing a running programme
Proceed as follows to change or cancel a
running program:
■ Open the door.
■ Hold down the current programme button
(with the indicator light on) for at least 5
seconds. The programme indicator lights
will flash and some audible signals will
sound.
■ The running programme will be cancelled and
the indicator light for the “recommended”
programme will start to flash.
■ At this point a new programme can be set.
IMPORTANT
To cancel the "COLD RINSE"
programme, simultaneously hold
down the "RAPID" programme button
and "HALF LOAD" option button.
WARNING!
Before starting a new programme,
you should check that there is still
detergent in the dispenser.
If necessary, top up the dispenser.

Programme operations
When a programme is running the relevant
indicator light will remain on and the 3
“PROGRAMME STATUS” indicator lights
("WASH" , "RINSE" , and "DRY" )
will light singularly and in sequence to
indicate the current phase.
If there is any break in the power supply
while the dishwasher is operating, a
special memory stores the selected
programme and, when the power is
restored, it continues where it left off.
Programme end
A5 second alarm will sound (if not muted)
3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that
the programme has ended.
The selected programme indicator light (2
indicator lights for the "COLD RINSE"
programme) will start to flash.
Dishes can now be removed and the
dishwasher turned off by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded
for new cycle.
Option button
"HALF LOAD" button
In response to your everyday washing
requirement in addition to the normal wash
functions this dishwasher is equipped with
the “HALF LOAD” function. This function
enables the uses to wash a reduced
number of dishes yet retaining the freedom
of loading them both on the top and bottom
basket.
When this function is activated the dishwasher
will automatically reduce the water and
energy consumption and the wash time.
When selecting the “HALF LOAD” ensure
a reduced amount of detergent is used.
"DELAY START" button
The dishwasher start time can be set with
this button, delaying the start by 3, 6 or 9
hours.
Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:
■ Press the "DELAY START" button (each
time the button is pressed the start
will be delayed by 3, 6 or 9 hours
respectively and the corresponding time
indicator light will illuminate).
■ To start the countdown, press the selected
programme button (the relevant indicator
light will come on, while the set time
indicator light will start to flash).
If a 9 hour delay is set, countdown will be
displayed by the 6h indicator light after 3
hours and the 3h indicator light after 6
hours.
At the end of the last 3 hours (at the end
of countdown) the 3h indicator light will
stop flashing and remain on to indicate the
washing phase and the programme will
start automatically.
If countdown has not ended, whereby
the programme has not yet started, it is
possible to change or cancel the delayed
start and select another programme or to
select/deselect the option button, proceeding
as follows:
■ Hold down the selected programme
button for at least 5 seconds.The
programme indicator lights will flash and
some audible signals will sound.
■ The delayed start and the selected
programme will be cancelled. The indicator
light for the “recommended” programme
will start to flash.
■ Press the "DELAY START" button to
set another delayed start time (the
corresponding indicator light will turn on).
■ A new programme can be set after a
delayed time has been changed or
cancelled or an option button has selected
or deselected.
