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
symbol 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 incompatible with another
(previously selected) option, it will flash 3 times and will be
deselected, while the option selected first will remain active.
To deselect an option which has been set by mistake, press
the corresponding symbol again.
Delayed start*
It is possible to delay the start 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 symbol: the symbol on the display
will light up. Press the DELAYED START symbol 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 symbol; the
countdown will begin. The selected delay period is displayed
and the Start symbol stops flashing.
3. Once this time has elapsed, the DELAYED START symbol
switches off and the wash cycle begins.
To deselect it, press and hold the DELAYED START symbol until
the text OFF appears.
The DELAYED START function cannot be set once a
wash cycle has been started.
Short Time option*
This option can be used to reduce the duration of the main
wash cycles while maintaining the same washing and drying
performance levels.
After selecting the wash cycle, press the Short Time option
symbol; the illumination of the corresponding symbol on the
display indicates its selection.
To deselect the option, press the same symbol again.
The Short Time and Good Night options are not
compatible with each other.
The Short Time and Good Night options are not
compatible with the HALF LOAD option.
Half load using the upper/lower racks
With the Half Load option, it is possible to select whether to
perform the wash on the upper or lower rack,
saving water, energy and detergent. Select the wash cycle and
press the HALF LOAD symbol; the half load symbol (on the
display) and the upper rack indicator will light up; if pressed
again the half load symbol and lower rack indicator will be
displayed. The wash cycle only takes place on the selected rack.
Remember to load the selected 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: Rapid and Baby.
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
symbol; the corresponding symbol lights up on the display to
indicate its selection.
To deselect the option, press the same symbol again.
The Good Night option is not compatible with the HALF
LOAD option.
Multi-functional tablets* (Tabs)
This option optimises washing and drying results.
When using multi-functional tablets, press the MULTI-
FUNCTIONAL TABLETS symbol: the corresponding symbol
will light up on the display. The “Multi-functional tablets”
option results in the lengthening of the wash cycle.
The use of tablets is only recommended when the MULTI-
FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option is available.
This option is not recommended for use with wash cycles
which do not specify the use of multi-functional tablets (see
Table of options).
