    (1)  The cycle duration and power consumption may vary according to the water and 
    room temperatures, and the type and amount of dishes.
     
    REFERENCES for the ENERGY LABEL supplied with the dishwasher: 
     
    -  Annual energy consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles with 
    cold water and consumption of low-energy operating modes. Actual 
    consumption depends on the way in which the appliance is used. 
    -  Water consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles. Actual 
    consumption depends on the way in which the appliance is used. 
    -  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).

    3.2 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.   
     
     
     QUICK TIME PROGRAMS 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.  
       
     
     
     ENERSAVE
     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 automatically every time 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.

    SPREAD HALF LOAD 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.
     
     
     
     
     EXTRA OPTIONS - “Flexi Tabs” BUTTON
     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. 
     
     
    DELAYED START 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.

     CANCELLING THE CURRENT PROGRAM
     •  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 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. 
    • Use the ENERSAVE option. 
    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.    
      
     If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program 
    will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will 
    signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 
    minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is 
    closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This 
    operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it 
    might cause problems in execution of the program.  
     
     END OF CYCLE
    At the end of the washing cycle the dishwasher 
    gives a short acustic signal and the program 
    indicators nr 4 and 5 start blinking (the word 
    end is displayed on the window). 
      
    To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF 
    button (1). 
     
     
     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.

    4. Operating instructions  
     
     
    Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as 
    follows: 
     •  Adjust the water softening system; 
    •  Add the regenerating salt; 
    •  Add the rinse aid and detergent. 
     
     
    4.1  Using the water softening system  
     
     
     
     The amount of scale contained in the 
    water (water hardness index) can cause 
    whitish staining on the dry dishes, which 
    tend to become dull over time. The 
    dishwasher is equipped with an automatic 
    softening system which uses a special 
    regenerating salt to reduce the hardness 
    of the water. 
    The dishwasher is factory set for water 
    hardness level 3 (average hardness  
    41-60°dF – 24-31°dH).    
     
     
    When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container 
    should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt 
    container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container 
    is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower 
    basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and 
    pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before 
    replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening. 
     
     
     
      
     • When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it 
    is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.  
    • Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is 
    securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never 
    penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation 
    of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the 
    warranty will be invalidated.  
    • Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic 
    dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container 
    completely.
