SmartStart
The SmartStart function is active when
the  SmartGrid programmable
function is switched on.
The SmartStart function lets you define
a time period during which your
washer-dryer will start automatically
based on an external signal. The appli-
ance will start on receipt of a signal,
e.g. from your energy supplier, that in-
dicates that the electricity tariff is par-
ticularly economical.
The time period can be defined
between 30minutes and 24hours. Dur-
ing this period, the washer-dryer waits
for the external signal. If no signal is
sent during the defined period, the
washer-dryer starts the programme.
Setting the time period
If the SmartGrid programming
functions are activated, the function of
the sensor control changes. The
time display no longer shows the
delay start period, and instead shows
the time period in which your washer-
dryer can be started automatically
(see “Programmable functions –
SmartGrid”).
The procedure for setting this is the
same as for setting the delay start time.
Touch the sensor control.
Set the time period you want using
the or sensor controls.
Touch the Start/Add laundrysensor
control.
appears on the time display.
