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.

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.

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. · 19 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.
