Operating the programmes and special functions

Use in conjunction with programme guide

Setting a programme

Open the door and press the button; the last programme selected will appear on the display. To set a new programme, press the Programme Selection Button "P". When the required programme is shown in the display, press the "START" button. The time of the selected programme (in hours and minutes) will start to flash in the display.

Close the door and after an audible signal has sounded (if it has not been deactivated) the programme will start automatically.

1/2

By pressing this button it is possible to wash a small quantity of crockery using only the upper basket for dishes and cutlery in the bottom basket.

This reduces water and energy consumption and requires a smaller quantity of detergent.

Please Note:

When the START Button has been selected it is not possible to deselect it.

HPS button (High Pressure System)

Your dishwasher is fitted with a two speed motor. By pressing the HPS Button, the motor operates at a higher speed which will result in higher water pressure, to attack the dirt. The HPS option is particularly suitable for washing pans, pots and heavily soiled crockery

Please Note:

This option must be selected before pressing the START button.

Economy button E

The "E" button reduces the final heating of the water during the last rinse. This activates a natural drying process, as with a normal draining board, simply by leaving the door ajar at the end of the cycle to enable the natural circulation of air. The "E" button permits an energy saving of more than 20% and shortens the cycle.

Recommended for evening washes when the dishes are not required to be perfectly dry immediately after washing.

Interrupting a programme

It is not recommended to open the door while a programme is running, especially during the main wash phase and final drying.

However, the appliance will stop automatically when the door is opened.

At this point, the various wash options can be programmed or cancelled. The current programme can also be cancelled.

If the door is opened during a programme, the symbol for that programme will flash in the display and the machine stops.

Please Note:

If you open the door during the drying cycle, an audible signal advises you that the drying cycle has not yet completed.

To restart the machine, press the "START" button and the time remaining for the programme will flash. Now close the door.

If you wish to cancel or change a programme that is running, carry out the following: open the door, keep the "START" button pressed in until the number of the programme stops flashing. A new programme can now be set.

NB: If, on pressing the "START" button, the symbol "00" starts to flash on the display, it means that there is water in the machine. Close the door to allow the water to be discharged and wait for the audible signal, after which the new programme can be set. Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If necessary, top up the dispenser.

End of programme

The end of the programme is indicated by an audible signal (if it has not been deactivated). When the door is opened, the number of the programme that has just finished will appear on the display.

Important:

If the programme shown in the display starts to flash and the machine will not let any more programmes be selected, press the "START" button and keep this button pressed until the display stops flashing.

Delay Start programme button

To set the delay start programme, press the button.

On the first press, the current setting appears on the display. Each time the button is pressed, the delayed time increases in one-hour increments, up to a maximum of 19 hours.

Once set, wait until the selected time is confirmed when it appears in the display. Press the "START" button to start the countdown. If the countdown has not already been activated, the delay start can be cancelled by pressing the button.

until the selected programme appears on the display.

The delay start can be cancelled at any time simply by keeping the "START" button pressed in until the required wash cycle appears on the display.

If you wish to see which programme has been selected, press the "Programme Selection" button "P".

NB: If the door is opened during the countdown, for example to select one of the options (or to add more dishes), the "START" button should be pressed before closing the door again, in order to restart the countdown.

Activating and deactivating the audible signal

The audible signal function can be deactivated in the following way:

Keep the Programme Selection Button (P) pressed in for a few seconds and at the same time press the stop/start button ☐; If the

symbol "b1" appears on the display, the audible signal is activated. Press the programme selection button (P) again and the symbol "b0" will appear, which means that the audible signal has been deactivated.

An audible signal sounds to indicate that the setting has been stored in memory.

Attention

This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which works even when power is off, and if the water level is too high, the supply will automatically be closed off. Important

To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, it is recommended not to move or tilt the dishwasher during operation.

If it is necessary to move or tilt the dishwasher, first make sure the washing cycle is finished and that no water is left in the tank.

The dishwasher is able to self-assess a number of problems. The problem will be illustrated in the display window and by an audible signal.

Regulating the water softener with electronic programmer

The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 90°fH (French grading) or 50°dH (German grading) through 8 settings.

The settings are listed in the table below:

Level	Water hardness	Water hardness	Use of regenerating salt	Water softener setting
	° fH (French)	° dH (German)
0	0-5	0-3	NO	D1
1	6-10	4-6	YES	D1
2	11-20	7-11	YES	D2
3	21-30	12-16	YES	D3
4	31-40	17-22	YES	D4
5	41-50	23-27	YES	D5
6	51-60	28-33	YES	D6
7	61-90	34-50	YES	D7

The softener unit is set in the factory at level 4 (D4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users. Regulate the setting of your water softener unit according to the degree of hardness of your water as follows: open the door, keep the delay start button pressed in and at the same time press the stop/start button ①.

The factory setting "D4" will appear on the display. To change the setting, press the start delay button. Each time you press that button the setting will increase by one level. When you have reached "D7", the display will go back to "D1". When the required setting appears on the display, wait for an audible signal to confirm that the new setting has been stored in memory.

The waterblock system

The waterblock system has been designed to improve the safety of your appliance, particularly when the machine is left unattended.

The waterblock system actually prevents flooding which might be caused by a machine malfunction or as a result of a fracture on the pipes.

How does waterblock work

The sump located in the base of the appliance collects any possible water leakage and operates a sensor which subsequently activates a valve placed under the water tap and stops any water from the supply even with the tap fully opened. If the box containing the electrical parts is damaged, remove the plug from the socket immediately.

To ensure perfect operation of the safety system, box "A" with the hose should be connected to the tap as shown in Figure "1". The inlet hose should not be cut, as it contains parts under load. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.
