6. OPTIONS
Desired options must be
activated every time before
you start a programme.
It is not possible to activate or
deactivate options while a
programme is running.
Not all options are compatible
with each other. If you have
selected non compatible
options, the appliance will
automatically deactivate one
or more of them. Only the
indicators of the options still
active will stay on.
6.1 Multitab
Activate this option when you use multi-
tablets that integrate the salt, rinse aid and
detergent functions. They can also contain
other cleaning or rinsing agents.
This option deactivates the release of salt
and rinse aid from the respective
containers. The salt and rinse aid
indicators do not come on.
With the use of this option the programme
duration is prolonged to increase the
cleaning and drying results with the use of
multi-tablets.
Multitab is not a permanent option and
must be selected at every cycle.
How to activate Multitab
Press Option until the indicator comes
on.
6.2 EnergySaver
This option decreases the temperature of
the last rinsing phase and consequently
also the energy consumption
(approximately -25%).
Dishes can still be wet once the
programme is completed.
The duration of the programme will be
shorter.
How to activate EnergySaver
Press Option until the indicator
comes on.
If the option is not applicable to the
programme, the related indicator does not
come on or it flashes quickly for a few
seconds and then goes off.
The display shows the updated
programme duration.

7. SETTINGS
7.1 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.
In user mode, the following settings
can be changed:
• The level of the water softener
according to the water hardness.
• The activation or the deactivation of the
acoustic signal for end of programme.
• The activation of the rinse aid
dispenser when you want to use the
Multitab option and the rinse aid
together.
These settings will be saved until you

How to set the programme
selection mode
The appliance is in programme selection
mode when the programme indicator

is in programme selection mode.
However, if this does not happen, you can
set the programme selection mode in the
following way:
Press and hold simultaneously Program
and Option until the appliance is in

7.2 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from
the water supply, which would have a
detrimental 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.
