Additional options

To select an additional option to the ba- sic programme press the button for that option. The indicator light for the option comes on.

If an additional option is chosen which is incompatible with the basic programme, (see Programme selection chart), the indicator light goes out when the button is released.

If a spin speed is chosen which is un- suitable for the programme (see Programme selection chart), pressing the button has no effect.
