Special wash cycles and Options
Extra drying
To improve the dryness level of the crockery, press the
EXTRA DRYING button; the indicator light will illuminate. If it
is pressed again the option will be deselected.
A higher temperature during the final rinsing and a longer
drying phase improve the dryness level.
The EXTRA DRYING option increases the duration of
the wash cycle.
Multi-functional tablets (Tabs)
This option optimises washing and drying results.
When using multi-functional tablets, press the MULTI-
FUNCTIONAL TABLETS button; the corresponding indicator
will light up. If the button is pressed again, the option will be
deselected.
The “Multi-functional tablets” option results in a
longer wash cycle.
The use of tablets is only recommended for models
having this option and it is not recommended with wash
cycles which do not specify the use of multi-functional
tablets
.
Half load
If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half load cycle
may be used in order to save water, electricity and detergent.
Select the wash cycle and press the HALF LOAD button: the
indicator light will illuminate.
Press the HALF LOAD button to deselect this option.
Remember to halve the amount of detergent.
Delayed start
It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle for a
period of time between 1 and 24 hours:
1. Select the desired wash cycle and any other options
required, press the DELAYED START button. The relevant
symbol starts flashing. Use the b and - to select when
the wash cycle will start (h01, h02 etc.)
2. Confirm with the START/PAUSE button. The symbol stops
flashing and the countdown begins.
3. Once this time has elapsed, the DELAYED START symbol
switches off and the wash cycle begins.
To deselect the DELAYED START option, press the DELAYED
START button until the text
OFF
appears.
The Delayed Start function cannot be set once a wash
cycle has been started.
Wash options
The OPTIONS may only be set, changed or reset after
the wash cycle has been selected and before the Start/
Pause button has been pressed.
Only the options which are compatible with the type of wash
cycle set may be selected. If an option is not compatible
with the selected wash cycle
(see Table of wash cycles)
, the
corresponding symbol flashes rapidly 3 times.
If an option is selected which is not compatible with another
(previously selected) option, it will flash 3 times and switch
off, while the most recently selected option will remain active.
To deselect an option which has been set by mistake, press
the corresponding button again.
Short Time option
This option can be used to reduce the duration of the main
wash cycles while maintaining the same washing and drying
performance levels.
Having selected the option, press the Short Time button. To
deselect the option, press the same button again.
