seconds, then they will switch off and the START/PAUSE indicator light will pulse.

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  (

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 indicate 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

programmed  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

corresponding  indicator  light  will  illuminate.

Spin  indicator  light

When a spin value is selected, the corresponding

indicator  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 indicates a problem has occurred (

see

“Troubleshooting”

).
