[. . . ] In case that the door is opened during the operation, to the next door closing it is going to be necessary to start the program as shown in paragraph “STARTING THE PROGRAM”. In case that the tub temperature is higher than 50°C the program will start about 30 seconds later. OPTION SELECTION Options are selected by pressing the relative button by the symbol of the option required; the light comes on to confirm that the option has been activated.  It is not possible to select any options when the soak program is being used.  All options except "Flexi Tabs" are disabled at the end of the wash cycle. To disable the “Flexi Tabs” option, press the relative button (the light goes out).  All options, including " Flexi Tabs " are disabled when a program is CANCELLED after it has begun. 20 User instructions Flexi Tabs Ideal for multi-function detergents, this option allows washing to be optimised, with full benefits from the combined-action tablets. When this option is activated, any salt and rinse aid in the relative containers will not be used. If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes. N. B. : When the salt and rinse aid containers are empty, the relative lights will remain on even if the “Flexi Tabs” option is selected. IMPORTANT: when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the relative button (the light goes out). In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drps. When the green float can no longer be seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. 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. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.   When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container. Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.  23 User instructions   Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion. Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system. ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. [. . . ]  It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.  Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump.  Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours inside the washing tank.  Shut off the water supply tap. 39 User instructions BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE:  Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes.
