This is not recommended for delicate items as the high temperature could make their surfaces opaque or their decorative colors
lighten after repeated washings.

This button (see " Control panel " )when used with wash cycle 4(glassware) makes it possible to run the wash cycle at a lower
temperature (50 C) and eliminates the drying phase.
