with detergent and no laundry, using the programme.

OFF button. The icons for the START PROGRAMME buttons begin to flash and the WASHING TIME INDICATOR lights light up in a fixed manner, to indicate that the washing machine is ready to receive instructions.

corresponding to the
selected programme illuminates in a fixed
manner, and all the wash time indicator lights switch off. The DOOR LOCKED indicator light illuminates in a fixed manner, to signal the activation of the door safety device.
