- the water level is not high
- the drum is not in movement
When the appliance is paused, the programmes can be modified as follows:
→ The structure can be changed or the programme cancelled (SKIP/RESET button). In this case, the
water (and detergent) will not be drained and the new cycle will begin with water in the tub. If it is preferred
to restart the new cycle without saving water and detergent, it is necessary first to select a drain phase and
then the new programme.
→ The FABRICS and the TEMPERATURES can be modified only during the washing phase; in this case,
the cycle will be restarted from the beginning.
→ The SPIN can be modified before the start of the final spin cycle.
→ All the cycle OPTIONS can be modified before the commencement of the phase to be modified.
→ DRYING selections can be modified before the starting of the drying phase.
To re-start the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button again.

programmes for which the RINSE HOLD option has been selected;
the display shows a zero (fixed, not flashing)
Ö End of cycle: indicated by a zero (flashing) and, at the same time,
the door pilot lamp switches off. The zero re-appears when the
appliance is switched on again, if the previous programme has not
been cancelled. It may occur, when the appliance is switched on for
the first time, that a flashing zero is shown on the display and the
acoustic signals are activated. This is due to the fact that the machine
has performed a washing cycle during testing in the factory which has
not been cancelled on completion.
Ö Delayed start, which is selected using the DELAYED START button.
The countdown starts when the START/PAUSE button is pressed,
and is decremented at intervals of one hour.
