- Information refers to the EN 50242 STANDARD programme (identified in the programmes table), which is the most effective in terms of combined energy and water consumption. The programme is recommended for dishes with a normal level of dirt.

- Energy consumption in “sleep” mode = 0.02 W.

- Energy consumption in “on” mode = 1.5 W.

- Drying efficiency class on a scale from “G” (minimum efficiency) to “A” (maximum efficiency).

1.2 Washing programs

Before starting a washing program make sure that:

• The water supply tap is open.

• 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.

Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak program) to SHORTEN the cycle by from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 55%, depending on the cycle selected. To activate this option, press the QUICK

OPTION button (light comes on) after selecting the program required. The option is automatically deactivated at the end of the program.

This option can be selected with the wash programme of choice to further reduce energy consumption. Drying is aided by a special device that automatically releases the door, which opens slowly and smoothly by a few centimetres. This ensures perfect drying and greater control of rinsing temperatures, which can be kept at lower levels for significant energy saving. Once the door has opened, the dishwasher emits a short beep and programme lights nos. 4 and 5 (marked “end”) flash to indicate the end of the washing cycle. Enersave is activated

a wash cycle is selected (except for programs that do not include the final drying phase; see programs table) and can be disabled before the program is started.

When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the door necessary to allow it to open. Do not re-close the door during automatic opening as this would damage the mechanism. Wait for the pushers to retract before re-closing the door.

User instructions

Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load.

Press buttons 6 + 8 (QUICK TIME PROGRAMS button + ENERSAVE option button) simultaneously to activate the "Flexi Tabs" option; the respective light comes on to confirm the selection. The option is optimised for use of detergents which are complete with salt and rinse aid, known on the market as "3 in 1", "triple action", etc. With this option activated, any salt and rinse aid If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid already in the dishwasher will not be used.

N.B.: even with the " Flexi Tabs " option selected, the regenerating salt/rinse aid lights will still stay on if their containers are empty.

IMPORTANT: the option continues to be active until it is deactivated by pressing buttons 6 + 8 simultaneously; the light will then go out.

If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the “Flexi Tbas” 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.

The start of the washing program can be delayed to program the dishwasher to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). Press the PROGRAM DELAY button to activate the option and display a 1 hour delay. Keep pressing to select the delay required, which may be up to 9, 12 or 24 hours depending on the model. When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set will come into effect.
