[. . . ] Flexi Tabs Ideal for multi-function detergents, this option allows washing to be optimised, with full benefits from the combined-action tablets. When this option is activated, any salt and rinse aid in the relative containers will not be used. If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes. N. B. : When the salt and rinse aid containers are empty, the relative lights will remain on even if the "Flexi Tabs" option is selected. IMPORTANT: when no longer required, the option must be deactivated 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. 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. 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. 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. · 22 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. ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. The hardness is set using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (2). [. . . ] WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be paid for by the user. 37 User instructions 6.
