Opening the door after the programme has started
First set the machine to pause by pressing the «Start/Pause» button.
If the «Door locked» 
icon desappears on the display, the door can be opened.
If the «Door locked» 
light does not goes off, 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 O.
After about few minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to the water level and temperature!).

At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically. Some acoustic signals sound for few minutes.
If the Rinse Hold 
or Night Cycle
options have been selected, the Start/Pause light goes off, a flashing “0.00” will appear on the display, the 
(Door locked) icon is still visualized and 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.
At the end of the cycle, turn the programme selector dial to «O» 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.
