the configuration of the ON/OFF (2) and START/PAUSE (4)
lights is as follows.
You may now restart ("START PROGRAM") or change the program which
was interrupted.
TO CHANGE A PROGRAM
To change the running program it is necessary:
•to interrupt the running program (see “INTERRUPTION OF A PROGRAM”);
•select the new program;
•to press again the START/PAUSE button (3) to make start the new
program.
ANNULLING A PROGRAM
To annul the program in progress, it must first be interrupted (see

Turn the PROGRAM SELECTOR (5) to any point on the "empty" sector
(with no symbols) on the left of the selector and start the dishwasher.
After the water has discharged from the tank, the ON/OFF

appliance switches to "Pause" state, indicated by a series of
beeps and the following configuration of the ON/OFF (2)

DELAYING THE PROGRAM (on some models only)
(available in all programs except the soak program)
The DELAYED START button (6) can be pressed to delay the start of
the washing program by 3,6or 9 hours.
Press the button (6) to set the delay you require (the relative light comes
on); then proceed to start the program (see "START PROGRAM").
The dishwasher prewashes the dishes, after which the selected delay
starts and the relative light starts to flash; it will go out when the program
starts.
"3/1" OPTION BUTTON (on some models only)
(available in all programs except the soak program)
By pressing the button (8) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when
the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of
dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of
regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as “3 in 1” or “triple
action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an
optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could
already be found in the dishwasher.
Note: When selecting the "3/1" button, it is normal that the salt and
rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty.

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.
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.
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.
