starting a wash cyclePlease follow the steps below to start a wash cycle.

Ensure the unit is connected to the mains power and the watersupply is on (water pressure between 0.04MPa and 1.00MPa).Open the door. Pull out the lower and upper baskets, load the dishesand push the baskets back. It is recommended that the lower basketis loaded first, and then the upper basket.Pour in the detergent or place the detergent tablet in the detergentcompartment and close firmly afterwards..Press the ON/OFF button.Select the wash cycle programme based on the loading and soil re-quirements. Please refer to the “Wash Cycle Table” (page 13).

The indicator light of the selected programme will illuminate.Close the dishwasher door. A click sound should be heard when the-door is closed correctly. Do not slam the door. The washing cycle will begin shortly.

NOTE: If you open the dishwasher’s door during the washing cycle andthen close it, the dishwasher will continue the current washing pro-gramme after 10 seconds. However, if the door is not closed correctlyafter 1 minute, the dishwasher will make an audible sound at 1 minute

intervals.

changing a programme

To change the programme if the washing cycle has already started,follow the steps below.

Open the door slightly to check if the unit has dispensed the deter-gent or detergent tablet. This will depend on how long the washingcycle was running for.If the detergent dispenser lid is opened, we suggest you allow thewash cycle to finish.

at the end of a programme

At the end of the programme, the dishwasher will sound.

NOTE: The condensation strip helps to prevent the risk of steamdamage to the worktop edging above the dishwasher, it is advis-able to leave the door closed until you are ready to unload thecrockery. You can also open the dishwasher door fully until thedishes and crockery are cool enough to unload. Do not leave thedoor only partially open.

switching off the unit

For energy saving, remember to switch the dishwasher off using theON/OFF button. The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it isswitched off with the ON/OFF button.

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a long period of time, e.g.whilst on holiday, disconnect the unit from the mains supply.

unloading the dishwasher

Allowing dishes to cool down before unloading is important as dishes

tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Therefore, ifyou open the dishwasher door fully after switching off, it will allow thedishes to cool down much faster.

We suggest:Unload the lower basket first, followed by the cutlery basket and thenthe upper basket.

This will prevent water drops from the upper basket from falling on tothe dishes in the lower basket.
