We advise you to carefully read all the instructions contained in this manual, in order to understand how to operate your dishwasher safely and correctly. The manual is divided into paragraphs, which provide a step by step description of the dishwasher functions, with clear instructions accompanied by detailed illustrations. [. . . ] CHANGING THE PROGRAM To change the program in progress the dishwasher must be switched off by pressing the ON/OFF key (2) (see section "3. Turn the program selector to the program required and then switch the dishwasher on again by pressing ON/OFF key (2). The dishwasher will carry out the new program automatically. PROGRAM DELAY The start of the washing program can be delayed by from 1 to 12 hours, depending on model. This allows you to operate the dishwasher at the time of day most convenient to you. Using the DELAYED START switch (6) (see section "3. Description of the controls") set the "delay" required by setting the pointer against the number indicating the hours. Then carry out the usual program setting procedures. CAUTION: always turn the switch clockwise. TO SAVE ON ENERGY!AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT · Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. · Do not wash the dishes in running water. Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position. The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains. If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting. 12 User instructions ADDING THE DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically. · When the SUPER program is selected, as well as the usual dose of detergent an extra amount also has to be placed in cavity G or H. Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent. The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness. Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.
