ULTRA CLEAN

"Flexi Tabs"

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.

The "ULTRA CLEAN" program 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 blackout), the light of the option and the program lights (2) flash to warn that the additional washing phase has not been completed successfully. This does not mean that the wash program has been less effective than usual.

The option is optimised for use of detergents which are complete with salt and rinse aid. 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: when no longer required, the option must be disabled 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. Integrated 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.

SPREAD HALF LOAD

DELAYED START

CANCELLING THE CURRENT PROGRAM

CHANGING THE PROGRAM

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.

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.

• To cancel the currently selected program, open the door and hold down the PROGRAM SELECTION (3) button for a few seconds until the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5 illuminate simultaneously (the word "end" is displayed on the window).

• Close the door.

• After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end

of cycle.

To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically select the new program.

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.
