User instructions 16 3.2 Washing programs Before starting a washing program make sure that: · The water supply tap is open. · The softener container contains regenerating salt . · The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dispenser. · The baskets have been correctly loaded. · The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruction. · The dishwasher door is securely closed. OPTION SELECTION Options are selected by pressing the relative butto n by the symbol of the option required; the light comes on to confirm that the option has been activated. · It is not possible to select any options when the soak program is being used. · All options except Flexi tabs are disabled at the end of the wash cycle.

User instructions 17 Flexi Tabs Ideal for multi-function detergents, this option allows washing to be optimised, with full benefits from the combined-act ion tablets. When this option is activated, any salt and rinse aid in the relative containers will not be used. If the option is not provided , we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional washing cycles, combined products migh t create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and re sidues left on dishes. N.B.: When the salt and rinse aid containers are empty, t he relative lights will remain on even if the “Flexi Tabs” option is selected. IMPORTANT: when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the relative button (the light goes out). If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3 , and the “Flexi Tabs ” option is activated, the relative light flashes, warning of a setting error. Multi-function products are not suitable for use with very hard water; this does not prevent the use of the option, but the washing results might not be of the best. ULTRA CLEAN The ULTRA CLEAN program prolongs the final hot rinse to ensure a further reduction in the bacteria level. If the tem perature in the tank falls during this stage of the program (e.g. because the door is opened or due to a power blackout), the light of the option and t he program lights (2) flash to warn that the additional washing phase has not b een completed successfully. This does not mean that the wash prog ram has been less effective than usual. SPREAD HALF LOAD Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washe d, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load the detergent dispenser than less than the nor mal amount for a full load.
