PAUSE button, then press the SKIP RESET button
repeatedly, until the display shows three blinking
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.
14. End of programme
If you had selected the RINSE HOLDor NIGHT CYLCE
option , the light of the START/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.
