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.
The length of the program will be shown on
the display alternating hours with
minutes [I.e: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].
■ To choose another programme, press
the corresponding button (the relevant
indicator light will flash to confirm the
selection).
■ To select an option, press the
corresponding button (the indicator light
will light up).
The option buttons can be selected or
deselected WITHIN one minute of the
programme commencing.
■ To start the programme, press the selected
programme button again to confirm.
The programme starts automatically, the
relevant indicator light will stop flashing
and remain on and the cycle length will
appear on the display.
WITHIN one minute of the programme
commencing, another programme
can be selected, simply by pressing
the corresponding button.
“AUTOMATIC” programme
The dishwasher is equipped with a dirt
sensor, able to analyse water murkiness
during "AUTOMATIC" programme phases
(see program list); thanks to this sensor
the washing cycle parameters are automatically
adapted to the real quantity of dirt on
dishes. Thus excellent washing results are
guaranteed while optimising water and
energy consumption.
"IMPULSE" programmes
The “IMPULSE” programmes use an
impluse washing technology, which reduces
consumption, noise and increases
performances.
IMPORTANT
The “intermittent” working of the
washing pump MUST NOT BE
considered a malfunction, it is a
characteristic of the impulse washing
so must be considered a normal
function of the programme.
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
pressing the "ON/OFF" button. In
this case, simply press the "ON/OFF"
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 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.
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 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.
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 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
“ALL IN 1” button
This option optimises the use of “ALL in 1”
(“3 in 1”/ “4 in 1”/“5 in 1”, etc...) 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.
"POWER JET" button
The "POWER JET" option always guarantees
the best results by more effectively dealing
with heavier soiling. By using this option,
the strength of the selected cycle will be
increased, adding one rinse and increasing
the temperature and water pressure in the
washing phase where foreseen.
This option is recommended for very dirty
dishes or when dirty dishes may not have
been pre-treated allowing the soiling to dry up.
IMPORTANT
With this option selected the “IMPULSE”
wash is turned off.
"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.
