You are advised to read this manual carefully; it contains all the information you need about the right conditions for the proper, safe use of your dishwasher. The individual sections are laid out to provide you with a step-by-step guide to all your appliance's functions; the texts are easy to understand and are complete with detailed illustrations. [. . . ] The appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the “program delay” set previously will come into effect. To cancel the program delay once the wash has started, proceed as follows:  Press the START/PAUSE button (4) for a few seconds, until the PROGRAM STARTED light stops flashing;  Press the PROGRAM DELAY button several times until the program delay returns to zero;  Press the START/PAUSE button (4) to start the program. 18 User instructions 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 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. ULTRA CLEAN The "ULTRA CLEAN" program 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 (2) 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. 19 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. ENERSAVE OPTION This option further reduces energy consumption by opening the door at the end of the cycle for more effective drying. At the end of the wash an automatic device releases the door, which slowly opens by a few centimetres. This allows optimal drying even with low rinsing temperatures, for significant energy saving. Enersave is activated automatically if the selected program is compatible with the option. It can be deactivated 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 necessary space in front of the door to allow it to open. Do not force the door lock before the end of the cycle is signalled, as this would damage the mechanism. “CHILD LOCK” OPTION By pressing the indicated buttons (3) at the same time, the controls are locked, which is confirmed when the warning light on display turns on. This option stays active until the buttons (3) are pressed again. 20 User instructions TO SAVE ON ENERGY!… AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT      Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. [. . . ] If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or foul the spray arm nozzles.  It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.  Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump. PROLONGED DISUSE:  Run the soak program twice in succession. [. . . ]
