Half load using the upper or lower rack

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 repeatedly: the triangle corresponding to the selected load will illuminate and the wash cycle will take place only using the upper or lower rack. If the button is pressed again, the option will be deselected.

The Half Load option is not compatible with the Good Night and Short Time options.

Remember to load the upper or lower rack only, and to reduce the amount of detergent accordingly.

It is better to use powder detergent in this case.

This option is incompatible with the following wash cycle: Speed wash.

Delayed start

It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle for a period of time between 1 and 24 hours.

2.Confirm the selection using the STAR/PAUSE button; the symbol will stop flashing and the countdown will begin. The text “START IN…” will be displayed, the selected delay time will flash and the START/PAUSE button will remain lit in a fixed manner.

To deselect the DLEAYED START option, press the DELAYED START button repeatedly until the text OFF appears.

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 perfor- mance levels.

After selecting the wash cycle, press the Short Time option but- ton; the illumination of the corresponding indicator light followed by a short beep indicates its selection.

To deselect the option, press the same button again.
