Setting and starting a programme
Setting mode
The appliance must be in setting mode to start a
programme.

is aligned with a programme on the control panel. If the
on/off indicator comes on and the phase indicators for
the programme start to flash, the appliance is in setting
mode.
• Turn the programme knob until the programme marker
is aligned with a programme on the control panel. If the
on/off indicator and the start indicator come on and a

not in setting mode.
To put the appliance in setting mode, press and hold the
start button until the start indicator goes off and the phase
indicators for the programme start to flash.

nect the mains plug from the mains socket.
