Turning on the Appliance
Starting a wash cycle
- Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall
socket.
- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
- Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading the
Dishwasher" on page 5).
- Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent
and Rinse Aid" on page 3 and 4).
- Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in
clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle set-
ting is aligned with the reference mark (see the section entitled,
"Wash Cycle Table" on page 8).
- Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON-OFF light will turn on. At
this point, the wash cycle will begin.
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting
A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has been
running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have al-
ready been used, and the appliance may have already drained
the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must
be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent"
on page 4).
Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON light will turn off. Rotate
the knob in clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting (see
the section entitled: Starting a wash cycle
?F
. Then, turn the
dishwasher back on using the ON-OFF button.
If you forget to load some of the dishes
The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF button.
You can then load additional dishes and turn the appliance back
on. The cycle will start where it left off.
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid
handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more
susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
At the end of the wash cycle
When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP mark
(see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using
the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door
of the dishwasher.

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results
in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to
remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed. This
will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on
the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as
shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
- The silverware basket can not be doubled (see fig.A).
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls
and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved
by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs lo-
cated on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.B).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more
space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom
basket.
