Setting and starting the programme with
delay start
1. Set the washing programme. Press the
delay start button until the flashing num-
ber of hours for the delay start shows in
the digital display. The delay indicator
light comes on.
2. Close the appliance door, the countdown
starts automatically.
3. The countdown will decrease with steps
of 1 hour.
4. The opening of the door will interrupt the
countdown. Close the door; the count-
down will continue from the point at
which it was interrupted.
5. Once the delay start has elapsed the pro-
gramme will start automatically. Delay
start indicator light goes off.
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.
Interrupt a washing programme in
progress
• Open the dishwasher door; the pro-
gramme will stop. Close the door; the pro-
gramme will start from the point at which
it was interrupted.
Cancelling a delay start or a washing
programme in progress
• Press and hold the cancel button until the
digital display shows 2 horizontal bars.
• Cancelling a delay start will also cancel the
washing programme. You have to select
the washing programme again.
• If a new washing programme is to be se-
lected, check that there is detergent in the
detergent dispenser.
End of the washing programme
The appliance will automatically stop.
An audible signal informs you of the end of
the washing programme
1. Open the appliance door.
– The digital display shows zero.
– The end indicator light is on.
2. Switch of the appliance.
3. Leave the appliance door ajar for a few
minutes before removing the dishes; this
way they will be cooler and the drying will
be improved.
If the save energy function is set, dishes
can be wet once the programme finish-
ed. We recommend to leave the appli-
ance door ajar so that dishes can dry
naturally.
Standby mode
If you do not switch off the appliance at the
end of the washing programme, the appli-
ance automatically goes into standby mode.
The standby mode decreases energy con-
sumption.
Three minutes after the end of the pro-
gramme, all indicator lights go off and the
digital display shows one horizontal bar. The
optical signal goes off.
Press one of the buttons (not the on/off but-
ton), to go back to end-of-programme mode.
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.
