Half load using the upper 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: the indicator light will illuminate and the wash cycle will take place only in the upper rack.

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

It is better to use powder detergent in this case.

This option is not compatible with the following wash cycles: Speed and Baby.

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 the wash has been started.
