PROGRAM DELAY
The start of the washing program can be delayed by from 1 to 9 or from 1 to 12 hours, depending
on model. This allows you to operate the dishwasher at the time of day most convenient to you.
Models with delay up to 9 hours:
after carrying out the operations described in the "SETTING THE WASHING PROGRAM" section
you have about 1 minute to set the “delay” you require, by pressing the button DELAYED START
(12) (see section "3. Description of the controls").
The hours left before the start of the program will be shown on the DISPLAY (13).
Models with delay up to 12 hours:
using the DELAYED START switch (10) (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.
• 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.
If it is necessary to open dishwasher door during the washing cycle, there will be a 1-minute delay
before the program can be resumed. After correctly closing the door, the washing program will start
again from where it was interrupted.
This operation may negatively affective the progress of the washing cycle.
END OF CYCLE
At the end of the washing program the selector will be on one of the STOP markers, depending on
the program carried out. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF key (3) (see section
"3. Description of the controls").
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow
them to cool down. To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in
the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.
