Starting a wash cycle

1. Switch the washing machine on by pressing the ON/OFF button. All the indicator lights will turn on for a few seconds, 
then only the indicator lights relative to the selected programme settings will remain lit and the START/PAUSE indica-
tor light will flash.
2. Load the laundry and close the door.
3. Set the WASH CYCLE knob to the desired programme.
4. Set the washing temperature (see “Personalisation”).
5. Set the spin speed (see “Personalisation”).
6. Measure out the detergent and washing additives (see “Detergents and laundry”).
7. Select the desired functions.
8. Start the wash cycle by pressing the START/PAUSE button and the corresponding indicator light will remain lit in a 
fixed manner, in green.
To cancel the set wash cycle, pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button and select a new cycle.
9. At the end of the wash cycle the 

 indicator light will switch on. The DOOR LOCKED indicator light will switch off, 

indicating that the door may be opened. Take out your laundry and leave the appliance door ajar to make sure the drum 
dries completely. Switch the washing machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button.

Indicator lights

The indicator lights provide important information.
This is what they can tell you:

Wash cycle phase indicator lights
As the WASH CYCLE knob is rotated, the indicator lights 
illuminate, indicating the stages which will be performed by 
the machine in accordance with the selected wash cycle.

Once the desired wash cycle has been selected and has 
begun, the indicator lights switch on one by one to indi-
cate which phase of the cycle is currently in progress.

Function buttons and corresponding indicator lights
When a function is selected, the corresponding indicator 
light will illuminate. 
If the selected function is not compatible with the pro-
grammed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light 
will flash, a sound signal will be emitted and the function 
will not be activated.
If a function which is incompatible with another function 
selected previously, only the most recent selection will 
remain active.

Temperature indicator light
When a temperature value is selected, the correspon-
ding indicator light will illuminate. 

Spin indicator light
When a spin value is selected, the corresponding indica-
tor light will illuminate.

 

Child lock indicator light

To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the 
button for approximately 2 seconds. When the indicator 
light is illuminated, the control panel is locked. This 
means it is possible to prevent wash cycles from being 
modified accidentally, especially where there are children 
in the home.
To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the 
button for approximately 2 seconds.

 

Door locked indicator light

If this indicator light is on, the appliance door is locked to 
prevent it from being opened accidentally; to avoid any 
damage, wait for the indicator light to switch off before you 
open the appliance door.
N.B. If the DELAY START function is activated, the door 
cannot be opened; pause the machine by pressing the 
START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it.

!

 If the START/PAUSE indicator light (orange) flashes rapidly 

at the same time as the function indicator light, this indica-
tes a problem has occurred (see  “Troubleshooting”).
