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.
• When possible, disable the drying cycle and leave the door open at the end of the washing
cycle: the residual air and heat will dry the dishes perfectly.
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.
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow
them to cool down. To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in
the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.
SLIDING FACING PANEL (for "fully integrated" models only)
Some dishwashers are equipped with a FRONT DISPLAY carrying the same information as the
one on the top control panel.
A system which moves the facing panel allows this display to be revealed when the dishwasher
door is closed; to do this follow the instructions in the "MOVING THE FACING PANEL" point.
While the program is in progress, the display shows the time left before it ends (hours alternating
with minutes), and the symbols described in section "3. Description of the controls" and any error
warnings E2, E3,… E9 also appear.
The LUMINOUS LOGO remains off throughout the cycle and illuminates when it ends.
LUMINOUS LOGO FRONT DISPLAY
A cutlery basket can be placed in the upper basket, while the lower basket must be left empty.
CAUTION: there is no point in loading dishes and cutlery in the lower basket, since the jet of
water will only reach the upper basket.
