dashes.

13.How to Open the door during the cycle of a programme

You can open the door, after having set the washing machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist:

The washing machine is not in the heating phase beyond 55°C; The level of the water is not high; The drum is not turning.

If these requirements are met, when you pause the washing machine, the door can be opened instantly. Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button. After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door instantly.

Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine!

When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted.

If you had selected the RINSE HOLDor NIGHT CYLCE option , the light of the STAR T/PAUSE button goes out, the zero on the display begins to flash, the door is locked and RINSE HOLD or NIGHT CYCLE light remains lit. When the programme has been completed, a blinking zero appears on the display and the audible signal is given.

Press the SKIP RESET button repeatedly to erase the programme that has just been carried out. If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the display and you will hear the audible signal.

Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out. Remove the laundry from the washing machine. Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry. We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket. Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.
