[. . . ] All options except "3in1" are disabled at the end of the wash cycle. "3/1" 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 "3/1" 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 (the light goes out). If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the "3/1" option is activated, the relative light flashes, warning of a setting error. 3in1 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. HYCLEAN Increases the temperature of the final hot rinse to 70°C 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. 16 User instructions 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. 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. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS (Customizing the consumer parameters) (available in all programs except the soak program) The electronic control system allows personalizing the machine use directly through a programming procedure not directly accessible that allows: regulate water hardness level. To access the programming environment, the appliance must be turned on with the door open. Then proceed as follows: · press the PROGRAM DELAY button (5) until the H symbol appears on the display, followed by the number currently set (e. g. H3) · press the PROGRAM DELAY (5) button the number of times needed to select the right setting level for the hardness of the water (H0, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5); N. B. : after few seconds the appliance exits the parameter setting menu automatically. 19 User instructions WATER HARDNESS TABLE WATER HARDNESS German degrees (°dH) French Degrees (°dF) 0-4 5 - 15 16 - 23 24 - 31 32 - 47 48 - 58 0-7 8 - 25 26 - 40 41 - 60 61 - 80 81 - 100 SETTING H1 NO SALT H1 H2 H3 H4 H5 Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply. After adjustment or display of the current setting, simply do not touch the button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode. 4. 2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.

The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required. 20 User instructions ADDING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door. To add rinse aid: · Open the door. · Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. · Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates. · Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
