continue to run for 10 seconds. Check the water level being
used for your wash during the time the pump is running.
If you do not close the lid after 10 seconds, the pump will
stop and the water level in the washbowl will begin to drop.
If the lid is left open, the water level can drop a maximum
100mm as water drains from the inner to the outer bowl.
The level of water may then appear too low for your wash
load, but closing the lid will start the recirculation pump and
the water level will return to the working level, ie. rise by a
maximum 100mm.
If you are using program settings where the recirculation
system is not active, the water level will not change when
you open the lid.
Delay start option
This option permits you to start the wash
after a delay of a defined number of hours.
The selection range is 0 hours to 12
hours maximum, in 1 hour increments.
The Delay timer will not start until you
press Start/Pause after completing all
of your other selections.
