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. [. . . ] 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. Flexi Tabs Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which also contain salt and rinse aid or other agents such as glass protector, steel rinse aids, etc. When this option is selected, salt and rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative compartments contain them. If the containers are empty, the lights will remain on. 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. With short programs, because there is less time for them to dissolve, tablets may fail to wash effectively and undissolved residues may be left. Powder detergents are more suitable for these programs. For further information, refer to the detergent pack. 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 Tabs” 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. 21 User instructions 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. 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.
