All options except "Flexi Tabs" are disabled at the end of the wash cycle. QUICK TIME PROGRAMS Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak program) to SHORTEN the cycle.

The option is automatically deactivated at the end of the program. 18 User instructions 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 end of the wash cycle is indicated by a short beep. 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. Flexi Tabs, once selected, remains enabled until intentionally disabled. 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. dF dH SALT 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. • 21 User instructions • • Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
