time has elapsed. If necessary, RESET the appliance by pressing CANCEL or start the cycle immediately by pressing START.
- The water tap must be open.
- The water inlet hose must not be kinked and the relative inlet filter in the water tap connector must not be clogged.
- The water tap must be fully open during water inlet (minimum capacity: 0.5 litres per minute).
- The water inlet hose must not be kinked and the relative inlet filter in the water tap connector must not be dirty.
- The filters must not be dirty or clogged.

dry place and do not store it for excessively long periods of time.
- For heavily soiled crockery, select a wash program with a higher temperature (see table of programs - page 1).
- If you select the "Half load/Multizone" option (if available), remember to load only the upper rack or only the lower rack to
increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results.

(if available).
