Modifying a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: once the wash cycle has started, switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and select the desired wash cycle and options.
Adding extra crockery
Press the Start/Pause button (the corresponding indicator light will flash). Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the appliance. Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle will restart after a prolonged beep is emitted.
If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start function (if selected) is interrupted.
At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or once the electricity supply is restored.
