Only available in selected models.
Wash options*
The OPTIONS may only be set, modified 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 se-
lected wash cycle (
see Table of wash cycles), the corresponding
LED flashes rapidly 3 times and 2 short beeps will sound.
If an option is selected which is incompatible with another (previ-
ously selected) option, the indicator light corresponding to the
option selected first will flash 3 times, 3 beeps will sound and it will
be deselected, while the most recently selected option will remain
active.
To deselect an option which has been set by mistake, press the
corresponding button again.
The Good Night option is not compatible with
the HALF LOAD option.
Good Night option
This option reduces the amount of noise made by the
machine and lengthens the wash cycles. It is a useful option
because it enables users to benefit from the night-time
energy rate.
After selecting the wash cycle, press the Good Night option
button; the illumination of the corresponding indicator light
followed by a short beep indicates its selection.
To deselect the option, press the same button again.
Delayed start
It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle for a period of
time between 1 and 24 hours.
1. After selecting the desired wash cycle and any other options,
press the DELAYED START button: the corresponding indicator
light will illuminate. Use the same button to select the time at
which you wish the wash cycle to begin (after a period of 1 to 24
hours).
2. Confirm your selection using the Start/Pause button; the
countdown will begin. The selected delay period indicator light
flashes and the Start/Pause button stops flashing (the light
becomes fixed instead).
3. When the set time has elapsed, a long beep sounds, the
DELAYED START indicator light switches off and the wash cycle
begins.
To deselect the DELAYED 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.
Multi-functional tablets (Tabs)
This option optimises washing and drying results.
When using multi-functional tablets, press the MULTI-
FUNCTIONAL TABLETS button. The corresponding indicator
light will illuminate. The “Multi-functional tablets” option
results in the lengthening of the wash cycle.
The MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option remains
set for subsequent wash cycles if it is not deselected.
The use of tablets is only recommended for
models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS
option.
This option is not recommended for use with wash
cycles which do not specify the use of multi-functional
tablets
( see Table of options).
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.
To deselect the option, press the same button again.
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: Rapide.
