TO SAVE ENERGY AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT  Always try to use the dishwasher with a full load.  Use the wash program that is most appropriate for each type of load.  If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.  Use the ENERSAVE option 19 User instructions TO REDUCE DETERGENT CONSUMPTION AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent save on electricity as well, observe the following recommendations:   Sort your dishes, washing delicate items separately from those more resistant to strong detergents and high temperatures. Do not pour detergent directly onto dishes. If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the programme will be interrupted. The programme light will stop flashing and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. The pause symbol will alternate with the time left to the end of the cycle on the front display. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, as it could cause problems in running the programme. END OF PROGRAM and SWITCHING OFF At the end of the program, the dishwasher emits a beep and "End" flashes on the front display alternating with the name of the program which has just finished. The dishwasher switches off after about 5 minutes to save electricity. REMOVING THE DISHES At the end of the wash program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of water left in the top basket cannot drip onto the dishes still in the lower basket, it is best always to empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket. 20 User instructions 4. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows:    Adjust the water softening system (on some models only); Add the regenerating salt (on some models only); Add the rinse aid and detergent. 4. 1 Using the water softening system (on some models only) The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness). SALT When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher.
