Singapore Water efficiency program.
The "Eco" program is the recommended program for normally soiled tableware (standard cleaning cycle) at rated load capacity, in accordance with the
IEC 60436:2015 standard.
Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.
*) Not all options can be used simultaneously.
**) The duration of the program shown on the display or in the booklet is an estimate calculated on standard conditions. The actual time may
vary depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of
load, load balancing, additional selected options and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.
WARNING: Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and
keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.

OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

OPTIONS can be selected/ deselected, after choosing the program, directly by pressing the corresponding button (if available - the indicator lights up)
(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. An option can change time or water or energy consumption for the program.
POWER CLEAN® - Thanks to the additional power jets this option
provides a more intensive and powerful wash in the lower rack, in the
specific area. This option is recommended for washing pots and casseroles
(please refer to the Power Clean® in loading section).
HALF LOAD - If there are not many dishes to be washed, HALF LOAD
is used to save water, electricity or time, depending on the selected program.
Remember to reduce the amount of detergent.
EXTRA DRY - The higher temperature during the final rinse and the
extended drying phase allows for improved drying. The EXTRA DRY
option results in the lengthening of the wash cycle.
SILENT - Suitable for night-time operation of the appliance. This option
can be used to limit noise emissions during wash phases. It will increase
cycle time depending on base cycle selection.
SANI RINSE - This option can be used to sanitize washed dishes. It will
increase the final rinse temperature and add an antibacterial wash to
the selected program. Ideal to clean crockery and feeding bottles. The
dishwasher door must be kept shut for the entire duration of the program
in order to guarantee a reduction of germs. WARNING: the crockery and
plates could be extremely hot at the end of the cycle.
SENSING - When the sensor is detecting the soil level an
animation appears in the display (around 20 min.) and the cycle
duration is updated. SENSING is for the level of soiling on the
dishes and is present for all cycles (excepting Eco) adjusting the program
accordingly.
KEYLOCK - A long press (for 3 seconds) of SILENT button, will activate
the KEYLOCK function. The KEYLOCK function will block the control panel
except for the ON/OFF button. To deactivate the KEYLOCK, long press again.

DELAY The start of the program may be delayed for a period of time
between 0:30 and 24 hours.
1. Select the program and any desired options. Press the DELAY button
(repeatedly) to delay the start of the program. Adjustable from 0:30 to 24
hours. Once the 24 hours setting is reached, press the DELAY another time
to deactivate the DELAY function.
2. Close the door and press the START/Pause button. The timer will begin
counting down.
3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off and the program
begins automatically.
The DELAY function cannot be set once a program has been started.
DESCALE - Alarm - Limescale accumulation was detected on internal
components of the appliance. Check if the Water Hardness Setting is
at the correct value and salt is present in the salt container (see FIRST TIME
USE), then use a descaling product (WPro brand is recommended) with Self-
Clean program. After a successful descaling, the icon will stop being displayed.
If the actions above are not performed, product performance will deteriorate.
DESCALE warning will start blinking and «dES» alarm will appear on the
display. If still no action is taken, the appliance will only allow a certain
number of cycles to be started (indicated during «dES» alarm display)
and then will be BLOCKED to prevent component damage, with only
the Self-Clean program available. Performing a full descaling will unblock
the product. In the case of extremely high amounts of limescale, descaling
may have to be performed twice to be efficient.
NaturalDry - It is a convection drying system which automatically opens
the door during/after the drying phase to ensure exceptional drying per-
formance every day. The door opens at a temperature that is safe to your
kitchen furniture, thus door will not be opened when the option of SANI
RINSE is on. As additional steam protection, specially designed protection
foil is added together with the dishwasher. To see how to mount protection
foil please refer to the INSTALLATION GUIDE.
This feature is active by default, but it is possible to deactivate it in
the "SETTING MENU".
