INTERRUPTING A PROGRAM TO ADD AN ITEM If you want to interrupt a program to add an item, open the door slightly until the spray arms stop turning. You can then open the door fully and place the item into the dishwasher. Close the door securely. The program will continue from where it was interrupted. WARNING! Be extremely careful when opening the door during a program. The water is hot and you could get scalded. CHANGING OR STOPPING A PROGRAM If you decide to change the program after you have started the machine, press the Start/Stop button for three seconds. You will have to select the program and options again when you are ready to restart the program. (Note: If the program has already gone through the wash cycle, you will have to add detergent.) CHILD-SA.E BUTTON LOCK To prevent a child from accidentally starting the dishwasher or changing the program settings, the dishwasher can be programmed not to start unless two buttons are held down simultaneously. Refer to your Use and Care Guide for instructions on how to activate this feature. END-O.-PROGRAM SIGNAL The dishwasher emits a short signal at the end of the program. Refer to your Use and Care Guide for instructions on how to adjust the volume or to deactivate the signal. DISHWASHING DETERGENT AND RINSE AID We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Generally, one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items, however, may need more detergent. (See page 5.) In any case, you should never use more than three tablespoons of detergent. Using liquid rinse aid prevents water spots from forming on dishes and improves drying by allowing water to "sheet" off the dishes. The rinse aid is released during the final rinse. For information on how to fill the rinse aid dispenser and control the amount released, refer to page 6 in your Use and Care Guide. NOTE: If you use a dishwashing detergent with a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the rinse aid dispenser. Refer to your Use and Care Guide for additional information. Art. 8075645
