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. [. . . ] 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. 19 User instructions 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. 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. PROGRAM DELAY The start of the program can be delayed by 3, 6 or 9 hours. This allows you to set the dishwasher to work at the times of day most convenient to you. After setting the program, press the button to select the delay you require; the corresponding light will come on. When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set will come into effect. If you wish to exit the procedure without setting delayed start, press the button in sequence until all three lights are out. N. B. : It is not possible to select the PROGRAM DELAY option once the cycle has begun. CANCELLING THE CURRENT PROGRAM  To cancel the currently selected program open the door and hold down the PROGRAM SELECTION (3) button for a few seconds until the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5 illuminate simultaneously (marked "end").   Close the door. After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end of cycle. 20 User instructions CHANGING THE PROGRAM To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically select the new program. … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT  Always use the dishwasher with a full load.  Do not wash the dishes in running water.  Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load.  Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.  If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C. … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity, observe the following:   separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures; do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes. If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. [. . . ] If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service. Water heating malfunction The water is not heated or the heating parameters are not correct. Repeat the washing program; if the problem persists, contact the after-sales service. Water temperature monitoring malfunction Interrupt the program and switch off the dishwasher. [. . . ]
