[. . . ] HYCLEAN The "HYCLEAN" option 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 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. 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. 19 User instructions PROGRAM DELAY The PROGRAM DELAY button can be pressed to delay the start of the washing program by 3, 6 or 9 hours, indicated by the PROGRAM DELAY/PROGRAM PHASES (5) lights. This function allows you to set the dishwasher to work at your preferred time of day. After selecting the delay, start the program (see relative section). The appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set previously will come into effect (option light and light of selected program on). N.

If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely. · 21 User instructions · · Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion. Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
