The start of the programme or the countdown of the delay start will occur only after the closure of the door. Until then it is possible to modify the settings. 1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms are free to rotate. 2. Check that the water tap is opened. 3. Press the On/Off button. The dishwasher must be in setting mode. 4. Press one of the two programme buttons to select a washing programme. When a programme is selected the corresponding programme light illuminates and the programme time flashes on the digital display. For the selection of the washing programme see "Washing programmes" chart. Close the dishwasher door, the programme starts automatically. In the digital display the programme time is no longer flashing but fixed with static light. The selection of the washing programme can be made with the door closed. Keep in mind that this way, once a washing programme has been selected you have ONLY 3 seconds in which you can select: another washing programme, delay start and half load option. After these 3 seconds the selected programme will start automatically. 21 Setting and starting the programme with delay start 1. After having selected the washing programme, press one of the delay start buttons until the flashing number of hours for the delay start appear in the digital display. The start of the selected washing programme can be delayed for between 1 and 19 hours. 2. Close the dishwasher door, the countdown starts automatically and the number in the digital display is no longer flashing but fixed with static light. 3. The countdown will decrease in steps of 1 hour. 4. Opening the door will interrupt the countdown. Close the door; the countdown will continue from the point at which it was interrupted. 5. Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will start automatically. Warning! 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. Cancelling a delay start or a washing programme in progress • Simultaneously press and hold the two Cancel buttons (B and C) until all the programme lights illuminate. • Cancelling a delay start will also cancel a washing programme. You have to set the washing programme again. • If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser. Interrupt a washing programme in progress • Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted. • Press the On/Off button; all lights will turn off. Press the On/Off button again; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted End of the washing programme • The dishwasher will automatically stop. • Zero appears in the digital display. • The light for the programme just ended remains illuminated. 1. Switch off the dishwasher. 2. Open the dishwasher door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. 22 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. Maintenance and cleaning Cleaning the filters The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. Warning! Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off. 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket. 2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter. 3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove the filter system. 4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (B). 5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water. 6. Remove the flat filter from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly. 23 7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing compartment and ensure that it fits perfectly. 8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together. 9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment. NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and will result in damage to the appliance. NEVER try to remove...
