1.2 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.

Warning: during the initial phase of the washing program, the operation of sprayers is not perceived because they start rotating about 5 minutes after the start. This is the normal operation of the washing cycle.

When the ON/OFF button (1) is pressed, the dishwasher switches on and the light (4) comes on. About 2 seconds later, the PHASES/PROGRAM lights 78) will come on.

In this model of dishwasher, all programming procedures can only be carried out with the door closed. As long as the door is open, the PROGRAMS lights (5) and PHASES/PROGRAM lights (7) will remain off.

The program selection is possible

through the relative buttons (2).

User instructions

When the button relating to the program required is pressed, the relative

light will come on to confirm the operation. (P2, P3, P4, P5) and then the soak program P1.

To start the dishwasher, press the START/PAUSE button (3) for a few seconds, until the light of the first phase of the selected program starts to flash (confirmation beep). This phase, that updates itself during the cycle, is “indicative” since it is influenced by the washing conditions such as dishwasher type and quantity, entry temperature etc. For this reason it is normal to see the updating during a program (increment and decrease of minutes) specially in the passage from one phase to the other (for example, from washing to rinse).

As the program runs, the PHASES/PROGRAM lights (7) will indicate the current cycle status.

A: Prewash B: Wash C: Rinse D: Dry

The light of the phase in progress will flash, while the lights of the previous and subsequent phases remain on.

N.B. during execution of programs which do not include a prewash, the first PHASES/PROGRAM light (7) will remain off.

OPTION SELECTION

Flexi Tabs

User instructions

The corresponding 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. To disable the “Flexi Tabs” option, press the button (the light goes out).

 All options, including "Flexi Tabs" are disabled when a program

is CANCELLED after it has begun.

Prolongs the final hot rinse to ensure a further reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature in the tank falls during this stage of the program (e.g. because the door is opened or due to a power cut), the option light an program lights flash to warn that this additional wash phase has not been completed successfully. This does not mean that the wash program has been less effective than usual.

Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which also contain salt and rinse aid (3in1) or other agents such as glass protector, steel rinse aids, etc. (4in1, 5in1…). When this option is selected, salt and rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative compartments contain them. If the containers are empty, the lights will remain on.

With short programs, because there is less time for them to dissolve, tablets may fail to wash effectively and undissolved residues may be left. Powder detergents are more suitable for these programs.

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 might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes.

For further information, refer to the detergent pack.
