1.2Washing 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.
ULTRA CLEAN
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.
"Flexi Tabs"
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.
