OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
OPTIONS can be selected directly by pressing the corresponding button (see CONTROL PANEL).
If an option is not compatible with the selected program see PROGRAMS TABLE, the corresponding LED flashes rapidly 3 times
and beeps will sound. The option will not be enabled.
ZONE WASH 3D
Option works with one rack at once. In particular, we recommend
to use it with Mixed and Intensive cycles - thanks to the
additional 3D water jets placed on the bottom o the cavity,
ZONE WASH 3D option allows to save energy or to increase the
washing performance of the dishwasher:
• ZONE WASH 3D + MIXED CYCLE: it allows to reduce energy
consumption up to 40%.
• ZONE WASH 3D + INTENSIVE CYCLE: it increases the washing
performances up to 40%. Ideal for very soiled mixed loads,
e.g. pans and saucepans, dishes with heavy encrustation
or difficult-to-clean crockery (grater, vegetable mill, dirty
cutlery).
How to activate the option:
1. Select a compatible cycle

only the specific rack, press this button repeatedly:

ActiveDry
ActiveDry is a convection drying system which automatically opens
the door during/after drying phase to ensure exceptional drying
performance every day. Door opens at the temperature that is safe
to your kitchen furniture, thus door will not be opened when the option
of SHORT TIME is on.
As additional steam protection, special designed protection foil is added
together with the dishwasher (depending on the model type - can
be the need to buy it). To see how to mount protection foil please refer
to (INSTALLATION GUIDE).
