Opening the door after the programme has started
First set the machine to pause by pressing the Start/Pause button.
If the «Door» light flashes and after 2 minutes goes off, the door can be opened.
If the «Door» light does not flash, this means that the machine is already heating, that the water level is above the bottom edge of the door or that the drum is turning.
In this case the door can not be opened.
If you cannot open the door but you need to open it you have to switch the machine off by turning the selector dial to «Off».
After about 2 minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to the water level and temperature!).
At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically. The Start/Pause and «wash» lights go off and the «end» phase light illuminates. The door can be opened (the Door light is off).
If the «Rinse Hold» option has been selected, the «end» and «door» lights illuminates but the door remains locked to indicate that the water must be emptied out before opening the door. To empty out the water please read the steps on the Rinse Hold option paragraph.
Turn the programme selector dial to «Off» to switch the machine off. Remove the laundry from the drum and carefully check that the drum is empty.
If you do not intend to carry out another wash, close the water tap. Leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant smells.
