CHILD LOCK

Activating the child lock prevents children from starting a wash
cycle or changing the settings of a running programme. The child
lock cannot be activated or deactivated when the programme
selector is in the “Off/O” position. To activate the child lock:

• Turn the programme selector to a programme position, or run
a programme as usual.

• Press the 2 buttons marked with the key symbol
simultaneously for at least 3 seconds; a key-like symbol will shortly
appear on the display to indicate that the child lock is active.

Any time you try to change a programme setting with active child
lock, the display will shortly show the key-like symbol. The
programme setting cannot be changed anymore; the only change
possible is to switch the washer off by turning the programme
selector to the “Off/O” position. To deactivate the child lock:

• Press again the 2 buttons marked with the key symbol
simultaneously for at least 3 seconds.

“DOOR OPEN” INDICATION

Before starting and after end of a programme, the lamp lights to show
that the door can be opened. As long as a wash programme is running,
the door remains locked and must on no account be forced open. In
case you have an urgent need to open it during a running programme,
refer to “Reset a running programme before the end”.

RED INDICATIONS

“Service”

Lighting up of the “Service” indication can be caused by a fault in an
electrical component. Refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” in your
Instructions for Use; if the fault persists, contact our After Sales Service.

“Water tap closed”

The appliance has no or insufficient water supply. Open the water
tap; if the indication still lights up, refer to the “Troubleshooting
Guide” in the Instructions for Use.

“Clean pump”

Waste water is not pumped out. Check whether the drain hose is
kinked or the filter must be cleaned; in the latter case refer to the
Instructions for Use (“Removing the Filter”).

PROGRAMME END

• The display shows “End” and the “Door open” indication lights.

1. Turn the programme selector to the “Off/O” position.

2. Close the water tap.

3. Open the door and unload the machine.

• Leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry.

DETERGENT OVERDOSAGE INDICATION

In case you used too much detergent, a small vertical bar will light
next to the overdosage symbol on the right of the display when
the wash programme is finished; use less detergent next time. Too
much foam by detergent overdosing can also lead to interruption
of a wash cycle; in this case the display shows “Fod” - follow the
recommendations in the “Troubleshooting Guide” in your
Instructions for Use to solve the problem.
