Button with ON/OFF indicator light: press this briefly to switch the machine on or off. The green indicator light indicates that the machine is switched on. To switch off the washer dryer during the wash cycle, press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds; if the button is pressed briefly or accidentally the machine will not switch off. If the machine is switched off during a wash cycle, this wash cycle will be cancelled.

WASH CYCLE SELECTOR knob: may be turned in either direction. To select the most suitable wash cycle, please refer to the “Table of wash cycles”.

The knob will not move during the wash cycle.

TEMPERATURE button: press to modify or exclude the temperature setting; the value will be identified by the indicator lights above it (see “Running a wash cycle”).

DRY button : press to decrease or exclude drying; the selected drying level or time will be identified by the indicator lights above it (see “How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle”).

DELAY TIMER button: press to set a DELAY TIMER for the selected wash cycle; the set delay time will appear on the display above (see “Running a wash cycle”).

OPTION buttons with indicator lights: press to select the available options. The indicator light corresponding to the selected option will remain lit (see “Running a wash cycle”).

WASH CYCLE PHASE icons: these illuminate to indicate the progress of the wash cycle (Wash – Rinse – Spin/Drain – Drain ).

The text lights up when the cycle is complete.

START/PAUSE button with indicator light: when the green indicator light flashes slowly, press the button to start a wash cycle. Once the cycle has begun the indicator light will remain lit in a fixed manner. To pause the wash cycle, press the button again; the indicator light will flash in an orange colour. If the “Door locked” indicator light is switched off, the door may be opened. To start the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted, press the button again.

DOOR LOCKED indicator light: indicates that the porthole door is locked. To open the door, pause the wash cycle (see “Running a wash cycle”).

CHILD LOCK button with indicator light: to activate or deactivate the CHILD 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.

ECO indicator light: the icon lights up when, after altering the washing parameters, an energy saving of at least 10% is made. Furthermore, before the machine enters “Standby” mode, the icon will light up for a few seconds; when the machine is switched off the estimated energy saving will be around the 80% mark.
