Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully. Interrupt a washing programme in progress Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted. Cancel a washing programme in progress Open the dishwasher door. Press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds.After about 2 seconds all the programme indicator lights will illuminate indicating that the running programme has been cancelled. If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser. 6. To cancel a delay start To cancel a delay start in progress you have to reset the dishwasher; follow the same instructions given in “Cancel a washing programme in progress”. Cancelling a delay start involves also the cancelling of the washing programme set. In this case you have to set the washing programme again. 21 7. End of the washing programme The dishwasher will automatically stop and an audible signal informs you of the end of the washing programme. When the washing programme has ended, the optical signal on the floor beneath the dishwasher’s door will turn off. Open the dishwasher door only when this optical signal turns off. The dishwasher’s drying system is provided with a device that allows air to circulate inside the dishwasher to prevent residual steam recondensing on the dishes as water droplets. Once the washing programme has ended this device operates intermittently for other 20 minutes, as long as the dishwasher is switched on. If the On/Off button is pressed or the door is opened during these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically cancelled. Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. In the digital display appears 0, only in this case the programme has ended. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button. 8. Unloading the dishwasher Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one. Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning and maintenance work. External cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....). Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent. Cleaning the filters The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket. 2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat filter (C). Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove. 3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove. 4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (B). 5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water. 6. Remove the flat filter (C) from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly. 7. Put the flat filter (C) back in the base of the washing compartment. 8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together. 9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment. Warning! Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a cocktail stick. Prolonged periods of non-operation If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water. 2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. 3. Leave the inside of the machine clean. Frost precautions Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it. Moving the machine If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....)...
