[. . . ] The ULTRA CLEAN program terminate with an extra anti-bacteria rinse that ensures a further reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature falls during this stage of the program (e. g. because the door is opened or due to a power blackout), the program lights (4) flash to warn that the anti-bacteria effect is not guaranteed. Press any of the SELECTION PROGRAMS buttons (2), stops the light flashins, and the dishwasher is now ready to perform a new cycle; opening and shutting the door or switching the appliance off and on has the same effect. INTERRUPTION OF A PROGRAM In order to interrupt a running program it is necessary: press one of the SELECTION PROGRAMS buttons (2); keep the button pressed until the PHASES/PROGRAM lights (7) come on (confirmation buzzer); start the program (see "START PROGRAM"). 12 User instructions TO CHANGE A PROGRAM To change the running program it is necessary: to interrupt the running program (see "INTERRUPTION OF A PROGRAM"); select the new program; start the program (see "START PROGRAM"). ANNULLING A PROGRAM To annul the program in progress, it must first be interrupted (see "INTERRUPTION OF A PROGRAM"). Now press buttons P1+P2 simultaneously and the first three program lights will come on. In case that the door is opened during the operation, to the next door closing it is going to be necessary to start the program as shown in paragraph "START PROGRAM". The program will resume from the point in which it was interrupted. In case that the tub temperature is higher than 50C the program will start about 30 seconds later. The washing cycle will not take place if the dishwasher door is left open or not properly closed. 13 User instructions TO SAVE ON ENERGY!AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. Do not wash the dishes in running water. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent. The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness. Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. 16 User instructions Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results. The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. - Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60C. - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55C) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65C using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents. The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 4. 2 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. [. . . ] BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE: Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes. Plug the power cord back into the socket. Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again. TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions: If the program fails to start, check that: the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply; there is no power failure; the water tap is open; the dishwasher door is properly closed.
