PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
(Use in conjunction with programme guide)
Programme settings
■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes inside the appliance.
■ Press the "ON/OFF" button for about 2 seconds. The display will show two lines.
■ Choose a programme by pressing the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button.
■ If you wish to select an option, press the corresponding button (the indicator light will turn on).
The option buttons can be selected or deselected WHITIN one minute of the programme commencing.
■ Press the "START" button.
The length of the program will be shown on the display alternating hours with minutes [l.e: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].
■ When the door is shut, after an audible signal has sounded, the programme will start automatically. The display will show the time remaining to the end of the cycle.
WITHIN one minute of the programme commencing, another programme can be selected, simply by pressing the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button.
"IMPULSE" programmes
The “IMPULSE” programmes use an impulse washing technology, which reduces consumption, noise and increases performances.
IMPORTANT
The “intermittent” working of the washing pump MUST NOT BE considered a malfunction, it is a characteristic of the impulse washing so must be considered a normal function of the programme.
Programme interruption
Opening the door when a programme is running is not recommended especially during the main wash and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a programme is running (for example, to add dishes) the machine stops automatically and the display will flash the remaining time before the end of the cycle. Close the door, without pressing any buttons. The cycle will start from where it left off.
IMPORTANT
A running program can be interrupted without opening the door by pressing the "ON/OFF" button. In this case, simply press the "ON/OFF" button again to restart the cycle from where it left off.

WARNING!
If you open the door during the drying cycle, an audible audio signal advises you that the drying cycle has not yet finished.
Changing a running programme
Proceed as follows to change or cancel a running program:
■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at least 3 seconds. "00" will appear on the display and some audible signals will sound.
■ The running programme will be cancelled. The display will show two lines.
■ At this point a new programme can be set.

WARNING!
Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If necessary, top up the dispenser.
Programme operations
Whilst a programme is running, the display shows the time remaining to the end of the cycle, which is automatically updated.
If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.
Programme end
A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted) 3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that the programme has ended.
The dishwasher will automatically switch off.
Option buttons
"EXPRESS" button
This button provides an energy and time saving of 25% on average (according to the select cycle) reducing the wash water temperature and the drying time during the final rinse.
This programme is recommended for light soil washes, and for slightly wet dishes that are not fully dry, & improved drying results. We advise you to leave the door of the Dishwasher half-open at the end of the cycle, to allow for a natural circulation of air inside the dishwasher.
"ALL IN 1" button
This option optimises the use of "ALL in 1" ("3 in 1"/"4 in 1"/"5 in 1", ecc.) combined detergents.
By pressing this button, the selected washing programme is modified to get best performance from combined detergents (furthermore, the salt empty alert will be de-activated).

WARNING!
Once selected, this option keeps being on (light on) also for next washing cycles and it can be de-activate (light off) only by pressing the button once again.
IMPORTANT
This option is recommended when using the RAPID 24' program, the duration of which will be extended for about 15 minutes, allowing the detergent tablets to achieve a better performance.
Salt empty alert
If your dishwasher requires filling with salt, the display will show and flash "SL" when the dishwasher is switched on.
The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally a warning sign that the salt container needs filling.
"DELAY START" button
Dishwasher start time can be set with this button, delaying start from 1 to 23 hours.
Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:
■ Press the "DELAY START" button ("00" will appear on the display).
■ Press the button again to increase the delay in hours (each time the button is pressed the delay is increased by 1 hour to a maximum of 23).
■ To start the countdown, press the "START" button.
The display will show the time remaining to the begin of the programme.
At the end of the countdown, the programme will automatically start and the length of the selected cycle will be shown in the display.
Proceed as follows to cancel a delayed start:
■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at least 3 seconds. "00" will appear on the display and some audible signals will sound.
■ The delayed start and the selected programme will be cancelled.
The display will show two lines.
■ At this point, a new programme and option buttons must be set to start a new programme as indicated in the "PROGRAMME SETTINGS" section.
Alarm mute for the PROGRAMME END
The alarm for the programme end may be muted as follows:
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher must ALWAYS be off before start of this procedure.
- Hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button and at the same time switch on the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief audible signal will sound).
- Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button pressed for at least 15 seconds (during this time 2 audible signals will sound).
- Release the button when the second audible signal sounds ("b1" will appear on the display to indicate that the alarm is on).
- Press the same button again ("b0" will appear on the display to indicate that the alarm is off).
- Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting.
To turn the alarm on again, follow the same procedure.

Place your smartphone so that the NFC antenna on its back matches the position of the Smart Touch logo on the appliance (as illustrated below).

text_image
SMART THUCHIf you do not know the position of your NFC antenna, slightly move the smartphone in a circular motion over the Smart Touch logo until the App confirms the connection. In order for the data transfer to be successful, it is essential TO KEEP THE SMARTPHONE ON THE DASHBOARD DURING THESE THE FEW SECONDS OF THE PROCEDURE; a message on the device will inform about the correct outcome of the operation and advise you when it is possible to move the smartphone away.
Thick cases or metallic stickers on your smartphone could affect or prevent the transmission of data between machine and telephone. If necessary, remove them.
The replacement of some components of the smartphone (e.g. back cover, battery, etc...) with non-original ones, could result in the NFC antenna removal, preventing the full use of the App.
The management and the control of the machine via App is only possible "by proximity": it is therefore not possible to perform remote operations (e.g.: from another room; outside of the house).

AQUAPROTECT – PROTECTED INCOMING WATER PIPE
The main inlet pipe is contained within a protective transparent hose. In the event of damage occurring to the main inlet pipe any water leakage is retained within the transparent hose.
If water has leaked from the main inlet pipe there will be a visible sign within the transparent hose.
You may continue to complete the programme cycle but for safety we recommend the immediate replacement of the complete hose assembly.
If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer one.
The hose can be obtained from a Service Centre.

Protective transparent hose Main inlet pipeWATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.
Regulating the water softener with electronic programmer
The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 90^ fH (French grading) or 50^ dH (German grading) through 8 settings.
The settings are listed in the table below:
| Level | Water hardness | Use of regenerating salt | Water softener setting | |
| ^ (French) | ^ (German) | |||
| 0 | 0-5 | 0-3 | NO | d0 |
| 1 | 6-10 | 4-6 | YES | d1 |
| 2 | 11-20 | 7-11 | YES | d2 |
| 3 | 21-30 | 12-16 | YES | d3 |
| *4 | 31-40 | 17-22 | YES | d4 |
| 5 | 41-50 | 23-27 | YES | d5 |
| 6 | 51-60 | 28-33 | YES | d6 |
| 7 | 61-90 | 34-50 | YES | d7 |
* The softener unit is set in the factory at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users.
Regulate the setting of your water softener unit according to the degree of hardness of your water as follows:
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher must ALWAYS be off before start of this procedure.
- Hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button and at the same time switch on the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief audible signal will sound).
- Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button pressed for at least 5 seconds, UNTIL an audible signal sounds. The current water softener setting level will be shown on the display.
- Press the same button again to select the required water softener level: each time the button is pressed, the setting will increase by one level. When you have reached "d7", the display will go back to "d0".
- Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting.

WARNING!
If any problem occurs, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button and start the procedure again from the beginning (STEP 1).
