The machine will 'beep" twice, briefly display a number in
the digital display and then it is ready for you to select the
wash program settings.
Please wait for this to happen before attempting to operate
the machine.
If the displayed settings are what you want to use then
press Start/Pause to start the wash program.
To select a different program or change other settings, read
the following instructions.
NOTE: On powering up the machine, and also after a wash
has finished in preparation for the next wash, the water level
defaults to auto sensing and rinse defaults to Eco. (If your
last wash was a Drip dry / Deep rinse program, then rinse
will stay at deep).

Choosing your own wash program settings

• S ettings can be changed at any time, even when a
wash is in progress or when the machine is paused.
When running there will be a short delay of 2 seconds
before a change to settings takes effect. This is to allow
you time to complete your desired changes.
• I f you make a change to settings during a wash, the
progress of the wash may not continue exactly from
where it was in the program before the change.
• W hen you try to make a change to settings and the
selection you make is unavailable at the time, you will
hear a long 'error beep'.
