PROGRAMME SELECTION
AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
(Use in conjunction with programme guide)
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher has two very practical
functions:
- the "recommended" programme
(which is ideal for full load daily use)
for quick and accurate selection;
- the "Auto’ Memory", function saves
any programme used at least 3 times
consecutively, so that if you regularly
use the same washing cycle you
do not have to continually set the
programme thereby saving time and
effort.
Programme settings
■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes
inside the appliance.
■ Press the "ON/OFF" button .
■ After pressing the "ON/OFF" button, the
programme which is factory set at
"recommended” or the "Auto’ Memory"
programme will appear on the display.
■ To select an option, press the
corresponding button (the indicator light
will turn on).
Option buttons must be pressed
BEFORE starting the programme for
them to be accepted.
■ To set another programme, press the
"PROGRAMME SELECTION" button
("PROGR.").
■ When the required programme is shown
in the display, press the "START" button.
The length of the program will be shown on
the display alternating hours with minutes
[I.e.: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].
If the previously described operations
were performed with the door open, the
programme will not start until the door
is closed.
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 and the display will flash the
remaining time before the end of the cycle.
Close the door, without pressing any
buttons. The cycle will start from where it
left off.
IMPORTANT
A running program can be interrupted
without opening the door by pausing
the dishwasher.
To pause, hold the "START" button
down for at least 3 seconds and
release when the running program
starts blinking on the display.
Simply press the "START" button
again to restart the cycle 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 programme:
■ Hold the "START" button down for at
least 5 seconds (the running programme
will be cancelled).
■ At this point a new programme can be set.
WARNING!
Before starting a new programme,
you should check that there is still
detergent in the dispenser.
If necessary, top up the dispenser.
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 operations
When a programme is running, the time
until the end of the cycle will be displayed
and the 4 “PROGRAMME STATUS”
indicator lights ("WASH", "RINSE",
"DRY", "END") will light singularly and in
sequence to indicate the current phase.
Programme end
A5 second alarm will sound (if not muted)
3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that
the programme has ended. The programme
end indicator light will light up and the
display will go blank.
Dishes can now be removed and the
dishwasher turned off by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded
for a new cycle.
Option buttons
IMPORTANT
All options MUST be turned on or off,
BEFORE pressing “START” button.
“5 IN 1” button
This option optimises the use of “3 in 1”/
“4 in 1”/“5 in 1” combined detergents. By
pressing this button, the selected washing
programme is modified to get the best
performance from combined detergents;
furthermore, the salt and rinse aid shortage
lights are de-activated.
WARNING!
Once selected, this option keeps
being on (light on) also for next
washing cycles and it can be de-activate
(light off) only by pressing the button
once again.
IMPORTANT
When this option is selected, the
"RAPID" cycle is 10 minutes longer.
"BOOST" button
The "BOOST" button provides over 20%
time and energy savings by reducing the
final water heating and drying times during
the last rinse cycle.
This option is recommended for light soil
washes, and for when the dishes are not
required perfectly dry straight away.
If you want to get better drying, we advise
to leave the dishwasher door slightly ajar at
the end of the cycle, to allow for a natural
circulation of air inside the dishwasher.
