Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!
I purchased a vintage Sony mixer off eBay and within the hour was able to locate and purchase the manual for it.I mean really,where else can you find a manual for a product made in 1983!? It was easy to find and purchase/download the manual I needed.I will use this site again for other equipment I have! Great site!
It`s full copy of a service manual from url http://www.philips.owner-manuals.com/PM3216-service-manual-PHILIPS.html

Operating sequence
1. Check the filters
Ensure that they are clean and properly positioned. (See "Maintenance and cleaning" - Instruction book - part 1)
9. At the end of the washing programme
At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop. The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off push button is depressed.
2. Check that there is rinse aid and salt
(See "Instruction book" - part 1)
10. Switch off the dishwasher
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. Wait 15/20 minutes before opening the dishwasher�s door; in this way you will avoid burning yourself when removing the dishes and avoid also the damage of the nearby furniture caused by the escape of steam. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
3. Load the dishes
Remove any scraps of food. Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans, plates and cutlery in it. Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates, saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it. Slide the baskets back into the machine.
4. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely 5. Measure out detergent
Add the detergent into the dispenser according to the dosage quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. Close the detergent dispenser lid.
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.
6. Set the programme
The selection of the programme occurs with the door partially opened. Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the letter of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the programme marker on the control panel. If necessary select the temperature of the main wash (or a half load programme) according to the instructions in the "Washing programmes" chart (see "Required push buttons").
Important! Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.
7. Start the programme
Depress the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light will come on and the machine will start. If you wish to interrupt the washing programme at any time press this button again.
