EXTRA PROGRAMS
Button (6) gives access to three extra programs in addition to the ones
which can be selected directly using the program selector button.
This button must be pressed (the light comes on) after selection of the
"main" program (2,3,4) and has no effect if it is pressed when programs
1 and 5 are selected.
This function is retained in the memory, so the button has to be
pressed again (the light goes out) if the user wishes to execute one of
the 5 main programs at the next cycle.
DELAYING THE PROGRAM
The PROGRAM DELAY button (10) can be pressed to delay the start of
the program by up to 9 hours. This means that the dishwasher can be
operated at the time of day of your choice. Press the button several
times in succession and the display will show the delay with which the
appliance will start, beginning from 9 hours.
TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
•
Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
•
Do not wash the dishes in running water.
•
Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
•
Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
•
If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.
•
When possible, disable the drying cycle and leave the door open at
the end of the washing cycle: the residual air and heat will dry the
dishes perfectly.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save
on electricity, observe the following:
•
separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant
to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
•
do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.
