"3/1" OPTION BUTTON
(available in all programs except the soak program)
By pressing the button (5) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when
the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of
dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of
regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as “3 in 1” or “triple
action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an
optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could
already be found in the dishwasher.
Note: When selecting the "3/1" button, it is normal that the salt and
rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty.
HALF LOAD WASH SETTING
(available in all programs except the soak program)
This function is ideal for small loads and saves
water and electricity. It is controlled by the HALF LOAD button (7) and allows washing in the upper
basket only.
IMPORTANT: at the end of the program remember
to deactivate the function to ensure the next wash is not also carried out in half load mode by
mistake.
A cutlery basket can be placed in the upper basket, while the lower
basket must be left empty.
CAUTION: there is no point in loading dishes and cutlery in the
lower basket, since the jet of water will only reach the upper basket.

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.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to
save on electricity, observe the following:
•separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more
resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
•do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower
basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the
upper basket.
