[. . . ] Notes that show how to avoid damage to the appliance. Useful tips and hints Environmental information Your dishwasher has the new washing system "IMPULSE WASHING". With this dishwashing system the motor speed and spray pressure are varied during the wash cycle to achieve better cleaning of the dishes. It is for this reason that the noise level varies during the dishwashing cycle. 2 Contents CONTENTS Operating instructions Safety instructions Disposal Economical and ecological dishwashing Description of the appliance The control panel Prior to using for the first time Setting the water softener Filling the with salt Rinse aid In daily use Loading cutlery and dishes The lower basket The cutlery basket The upper basket Adjusting the height of the upper basket Use of detergent Different kinds of detergent Washing programmes Starting a washing programme Maintenance and cleaning Cleaning the filters What to do, when. . . [. . . ] If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash"", main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are longer and the water consumption level is higher. For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary within the stated range for AUTOMATIC programme (see "Washing programmes chart"). During the "AUTOMATIC" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes. 26 Water (litres) Intermediate Final rinse Drying Operating instructions Starting a washing programme 1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms can rotate freely 2. Press the On/Off push button The On/Off indicator light illuminates. 5. Setting and starting the programme To select a programme, press the push button of the programme you wish to select, the indicator light of the push button 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 push button the programme starts automatically. In the digital display the running time of the programme is no longer flashing and the programme in progress indicator light remains illuminated. Setting and starting the programme with the delay start The setting of the delay start occurs before selecting the programme Press the delay start push button until the flashing number of the hours for the delay start will appear in the digital display (from 1h to 19h).

As soon as the number of hours is displayed without flashing, the countdown for the delay start is active. This device operates intermittently for about 20 minutes, as long as the dishwasher is switched on. If the On/Off push button is pressed or the door is opened during these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically cancelled. Hot steam may escape from the appliance when opening the door immediately after the end of the programme, therefore, open the door carefully. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push 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. 29 Operating instructions 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 then the dishes. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. 30 Operating instructions Maintenance and cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents.
