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 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option remains

set for subsequent wash cycles if it is not deselected.

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).
