3/1 OPTION BUTTON (on some models only)
(available in all programs except the soak program)
By pressing the button (4)
 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.
DELAY PROGRAM (on some models only)
(available in all programs except the soak program)
The PROGRAM DELAY 
button (3)
 can be pressed to delay the start of
the washing program by 3
,6 or 9 hours.
 This function allows you to set
the dishwasher to work at  your preferred time of day.
After selecting the delay, start the program (see relative section).
The appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the program delay
set previously will come into effect (the light corresponding to 3, 6
 or 9
hours
 flashes).
To reset or change the delay
 once the program has started:
• press the START/PAUSE 
button (5)
 for a few seconds, until the
PHASES/PROGRAM 
lights (10) 
come on;
• press the DELAY PROGRAM
 button (3) 
several times “until the
program delay” returns to zero (all the lights indicating the delay go
out);
• press the START/PAUSE 
button(5)
 to start the new program.
 
						

							User instructions

, proceed as follows.
If the program you wish to carry out is the same as the one already
in progress:
• press the START/PAUSE 
button (5)
 for a few seconds, until the
PHASES/PROGRAM 
lights (10) 
come on;
•  annul the program in progress (see relative section) and wait for the
cycle to come to an end;
•  select the program again;
•  select the delay required;

button(5)
 to start the new program.

lights (10) 
come on;

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.
