Why does my dishwasher automatically start even though I've set the delay timer?

Question: Why does my dishwasher automatically start even though I've set the delay timer?



Smeg dishwashers that have the Delay function also have a cold pre-wash function which starts automatically once the door has been closed. The machine will stop and only restart at the pre-set time when this cycle is over. This feature is exclusive to Smeg and is particularly advantageous in that your dishes are rinsed before the full wash programme, preventing food residue from drying on and making washing more difficult than it needs to be.
