Special wash cycles and Options

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.

Multi-functional tablets (Tabs)

This option optimises washing and drying results. When using multi-functional tablets, press the MULTI- FUNCTIONAL TABLETS button; the corresponding symbol 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.

Extra drying

To improve the dryness level of the crockery, press the EXTRA DRYING button and the symbol will light up. If it is pressed again, the option will be deselected.

The Delayed Start function cannot be set once a wash cycle has been started.

This option can be used to reduce the duration of the main wash cycles while, maintaining the same washing and drying performance levels.
