5. PROGRAMMES

The numbering of the programmes in the table (P1, P2, etc.) reflects their sequence on the control panel.

The order of the programmes in the table may not reflect their sequence on the control panel.

1) This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes.
2) The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It automatically adjusts the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.
3) With this programme, you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.

6. SETTINGS

6.1 Programme selection mode and user mode

When the appliance is in programme selection mode it is possible to set a programme and to enter the user mode.

Settings available in the user mode:

• The level of water softener according to the water hardness.
• Activation or deactivation of the acoustic signal for the end of a programme.
• Activation or deactivation of the rinse aid empty notification.
• Activation or deactivation of AirDry.

As the appliance stores the saved settings, there is no need to configure it before every cycle.

How to set the programme selection mode

The appliance is in programme selection mode when the display shows the programme number P1.

After activation, the appliance is in programme selection mode by default. If not, set the programme selection mode the following way:

Press and hold RESET until the appliance is in programme selection mode.

How to enter user mode

Make sure the appliance is in programme selection mode.

6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales.

The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. It is important to set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results.

Softening hard water increases the consumption of water and energy as well as the programme duration. The higher the level of water softener, the higher the consumption and the longer the duration.

When the countdown is completed, the programme starts.

Opening the door while the appliance operates

Opening the door while a programme is running stops the appliance. It may affect the energy consumption and the programme duration. After closing the door, the appliance continues from the point of interruption.

If the door is opened for more than 30 seconds during the drying phase, the running programme ends. It does not happen if the door is opened by AirDry function.

Do not try to close the appliance door within 2 minutes after AirDry automatically opens it, as this may cause damage to the appliance. If, afterwards, the door is closed for another 3 minutes, the running programme ends.

Cancelling the delay start while the countdown operates

When you cancel the delay start you have to set the programme and options again.

10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 General

Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and to help you protect the environment.

• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, select a programme with a prewash phase.
  • Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes.

Press and hold RESET until the appliance is in programme selection mode.

Cancelling the programme

Press and hold RESET until the appliance is in programme selection mode.

Make sure that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser before you start a new programme.

End of the programme

3. You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g. "All in 1"). Follow the instructions on the packaging.

4. Select a programme according to the type of load and the degree of soil.
   ECO offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption.

10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

- Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.

• In areas with hard and very hard water we recommend to use plain dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, tablets containing no additional agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.
• At least once a month run the appliance with the use of appliance cleaner which is particularly suitable for this purpose.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

10.3 What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets

Before you start to use separately detergent, salt and rinse aid do the following procedure.

1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing phase. Do not add detergent and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty notification.

10.4 Loading the baskets

• Only use the appliance to wash items that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.

• Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).

• Remove remaining food from the items.

• Make soft the remaining burned food on the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond together. Mix spoons with other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.
• Put small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arm can move freely before you start a programme.

10.5 Before starting a programme

Before you start the selected programme, make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
  • The cap of the salt container is tight.
  • The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid (unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

10.6 Unloading the baskets

1. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it from the appliance. Hot items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket.

After the programme is completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.

11. CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!

An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and damage to the appliance.

11.2 Cleaning the spray arms

Do not remove the spray arms. If the holes in the spray arms are clogged, remove remaining parts of soil with a thin pointed object.

12. TROUBLESHOOTING

If the appliance does not start or it stops during operation, first check if you can solve the problem by yourself with the help of the information in the table or contact an Authorised Service Centre.

WARNING!

Repairs not properly done may result in serious risk to the safety of the user. Any repairs must be performed by qualified personnel.

11.3 External cleaning

• Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.

11.4 Internal cleaning

• Carefully clean the appliance, including the rubber gasket of the door, with a soft damp cloth.
• If you regularly use short duration programmes, these can leave deposits of grease and limescale inside the appliance. To prevent this, we recommend to run long duration programmes at least 2 times per month.
  • To maintain the performance of your appliance at its best, we recommend to use monthly a specific cleaning product for dishwashers. Follow carefully the instructions on the packaging of the product.

With some problems, the display shows an alarm code.
