Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance ). [. . . ] Once this time is up, the indicator light switches off and the wash cycle begins. To adjust the delay time and select a lower period of time, press the DELAYED START button.

Modifying a wash cycle in progress If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: press and hold the START/RESET button for 4 seconds.

Before selecting the wash cycle press the HALF LOAD button: the indicator light will illuminate and the wash cycle will take place only in the upper rack. Remember to load the upper rack only, and to reduce the amount of detergent accordingly. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): • if there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3). €¢ if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). If you are using multi-functional tablets and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2. 0 - 10 10 – 25 25 – 50 > 50 The default setting of the water softening system is +. - If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +. Loading the refined salt In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled: • when the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser; • when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel flashes; • if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a green float: * Only available in selected models. 20 Care and maintenance Shutting off the water and electricity supplies • Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks. €¢ Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning the machine and when carrying out maintenance work.
