Half load button

This option is useful and economical when baskets are not fully loaded. It reduces the consumption of water and energy.

Remember to load both baskets. When using this option we recommend to reduce the dose of detergent that is

normally used for a completed load. This option is available only with some programmes (see "Washing programmes"

chart).

Extra rinse button

This option allows to add another rinse before the last hot rinsing phase. The function will increase the consumption of water and prolong the duration of

the programme that will be automatically updated in the digital display. This option is available only with some programmes (see "Washing programmes"

chart).

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multitab function (see "Multitab function").

Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
