Delay Start
You can set the start time for a pro‐
gram, e.g., to take advantage of night
time electricity rates. The start time can
be delayed between 30 minutes and 24
hours.
The delay period is shown in 30 mi‐
nutes increments for a delay period be‐
tween 30 minutes and 9 hours 30 mi‐
nutes. It is shown in hours for periods
longer than this.
When using the Delay Start function,
make sure that the detergent com‐
partment is dry before adding deter‐
gent. Wipe dry with a cloth if neces‐
sary. If the compartment is wet,
powder detergent can become lum‐
py and stick to the dispenser, with
the result that it is not fully dis‐
pensed.
Do not use liquid detergent when se‐
lecting Delay Start, as it can run into
the dishwasher before it is required.
