• While the drying phase operates, a
device opens the appliance door and
keeps it ajar.
• At the end of the programme, the
device and the appliance door retract.
The appliance is automatically
deactivated.
CAUTION!
Do not try to close the
appliance door while the
device keeps the door ajar.
This can cause damage to
the appliance.
AutoOpen is automatically activated when
you select the programme ECO.
It is not possible to select this option with
other programmes.
It is possible to deactivate AutoOpen. In
this condition, the drying performance
reduces significantly.
To improve the drying performance refer
to the XtraDry option or activate AutoOpen
again.
8. BEFORE FIRST USE
The first time you activate the appliance it
is necessary to set the language. Default
language is English.
1. Set the language.
• Press OK to confirm English.
• Scroll the list of available languages
for a new language and press OK
to confirm.
2. Make sure that the current level of
the water softener agrees with the
hardness of the water supply. If
not, adjust the level of the water
softener.
3.
Fill the salt container.
4. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
5. Open the water tap.
6. Start a programme to remove any
processing residuals that can still be
inside the appliance. Do not use
detergent and do not load the
baskets.
When you start a programme, the
appliance can take up to 5 minutes to
recharge the resin in the water softener. It
seems that the appliance is not working.
The washing phase starts only after this
procedure is completed. The procedure
will be repeated periodically.
8.1 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.
