I have an Italian washing machine that came with the manufacturer's user guide in Italian, Hungarian, and a number of more exotic languages, plus the importer's badly written Hebrew translation -- nothing in English, because the item is not marketed outside Israel (because nowhere else is it customary for washing machines to heat their own water). I had to induce the importer to get me an English user guide for a model which is virtually identical with mine save for the water heater. I have also done similarly with a German vacuum cleaner. You could probably get the manufacturer's user manual for your dishwasher by approaching the local agent of the manufacturer. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
