4 Functionalities
4.1 On/Off Button
The aesthetics levels of the WE170P/V have a dedicated On/Off button always present. This button could
put the machine in a special low power consumption mode.
To switch on the appliance, simply press shortly the button. The user interface plays the dedicated jingle (if
buzzer is enabled) and switches the lights and display on according to default programme.
To switch off the appliance, press and hold the button for about 1 second. After this time, the user interface
plays the dedicated jingle (if buzzer is enabled) and all lights and display are switched off. All selected
options and the possible programme in progress are reset.
4.2 Stand-Off mode behavior
When the machine is switched off via On/Off button, the appliance goes in Stand-Off mode where it is
“virtually switched off”: all LEDs and display are lighted off and buttons are disabled, but the electronic
boards are supplied anyway.
4.3 Cycle start / pause / change
When a programme is selected and the door porthole is closed, to start the cycle simply press the
Start/Pause button: related LED stops flashing and becomes steady while the display (if present) updates
accordingly. Pressing Start/Pause button during the cycle the machine is paused: if door unlocks it means
there are the conditions to open it and add laundry, usually during the first minutes after water load. In pause
it is allowed changing options, but not programmes: in this case a reset via On/Off button is needed.
In all cases the display updates switching from cycle end indication to pause or execution state: time digits
show updated time to end.
Cycle running
Once the user has pressed start to begin the washing process, the feedback about the progress of the
washing program is given on display or lights. The cycle duration decreases in the time digits of display.
The user interface show which is the washing phase in progress by making blinking the related icon on
display, while other phase icons remain lighted on steadily. The number and sequence of phase icons is
according to user interface level and display.
So, for example, during prewash blinks the prewash phase symbol, during wash blinks the wash phase
symbol, during rinses blinks the rinse phase symbol, during drain and final spin blinks the spin phase
symbol, at cycle end all phases symbols remain steady and time digits show “0”.
Cycle end
When the cycle is finished and the door is unlocked, the cycle end status is showed. Within 5 minutes,
before entering Stand-off mode the user is allowed to recall and start again the just finished program,
changing any option if desired, or select a new program without necessarily switching off and on the
machine.
The possible actions to exit the cycle end phase are:
-
pressing any button (On/Off excluded) the user interface goes in setup phase keeping and showing
the previously selected program and options; pressing then the Start/Pause button the previous
cycle is repeated;
-
turning selector knob the user interface goes in setup phase and shows new program and options
info corresponding to the new selector position;
-
pressing On/Off button the user interface switches off and machine goes in Stand-off mode.
