Additional options

To select an additional option to the
basic programme press the button for
that option. The indicator light for the
option comes on.
If an additional option is chosen which
is incompatible with the basic pro-
gramme, (see Programme selection
chart), the indicator light goes out
when the button is released.
If a spin speed is chosen which is un-
suitable for the programme (see Pro-
gramme selection chart), pressing the
button has no effect.
