ADVICE AND TIPS
TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery
and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under
running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip
over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards
and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the
water to reach every surface and flow freely.
Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the spray-
er arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher
washing performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can
rotate freely.
UNSUITABLE CROCKERY
• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery.
Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can
change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g.
crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles
too.

The machine will switch off automatically during certain extended
periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity consumption.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with
water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount
of detergent used accordingly.
MODIFYING A RUNNING PROGRAM
If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided
that it has only just begun: open the door, press and hold the
ON/OFF button, the machine will switch off.
Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the
new wash cycle and any desired options; Start the wash cycle by press-
ing START/Pause button (led is lit) and closing the door within 4 sec.
ADDING EXTRA CROCKERY
Without switching off the machine, open the door (START/Pause led
starts blinking) (be ware of HOT steam!) and place the crockery inside
the dishwasher. Press the START/Pause button and close the door
within 4 sec., the cycle will resume from the point at which it was inter-
rupted.
ACCIDENTAL INTERRUPTIONS
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut,
the cycle stops. Press the START/Pause button and close the door
within 4 sec., the cycle will resume from the point at which it was inter-
rupted.
DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY
• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as
dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash
cycle is over.
TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
• When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufac-
turer's instructions, washing tableware in a dishwasher usually
consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing.
• In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency it is recommended to
initiate the wash cycle once dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading
the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the man-
ufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Information
on correct loading of tableware can be found in Loading chapter.
In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash
options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multizone), fiilling up only
selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dishwasher may
increase resources usage (such as water, energy and time, as well as
increase noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and
energy consumption and is not recommended.
HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the
dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least one
a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading
to clean your appliance.
