TO SAVE ON ENERGY! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
- Do not wash the dishes in running water.
- Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load.
- Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity, observe the following:

• separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
  • do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it might cause problems in execution of the program.

END OF CYCLE

At the end of the washing program the selector will be on one of the STOP markers, depending on the program carried out. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF key (2).
