ON-OFF/CANCEL button with indicator light : press the button briefly to switch the machine on or off. The green indicator light shows that the machine is switched on. To switch the washing machine off during a wash cycle, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds; pressing the button quickly or accidentally will not switch the machine off.

If the machine is switched off during a wash cycle, the programme will be cancelled.

PROGRAMME knob: this can be rotated in both directions. To set a more suitable programme, please refer to the “Table of Programmes”.

The knob is locked into position during the wash cycle.

TEMPERATURE button: press this button to adjust the temperature; the value will be indicated by the indicator lights above it (see “Start-up and personalisation”).

SPIN SPEED button: press this button to adjust the spin value or to exclude this part of the programme; the value will be indicated by the indicator lights above it (see “Start-up and personalisation”).

INTENSITY button: press this button to adjust the wash intensity; the value will be indicated by the indicator lights above it (see “Start-up and personalisation”).

OPTION buttons and indicator lights: may be used to select any of the available options. The indicator light corresponding to the selected option will remain lit (see “Start-up and personalisation”).

WASH CYCLE PHASE icons: these light up to provide an indication of the progress of the wash

cycle (Wash - Rinse - Spin - Final draining phase ).

The text lights up when the cycle has finished.

START/PAUSE button with indicator light: when the green indicator light flashes slowly, press the button to start the wash cycle. When the cycle has started, the indicator light is illuminated in a fixed manner. To pause the wash cycle, press the button again; the indicator light will turn orange and begin to flash

again. If the “Door Locked” indicator light is off, the porthole door may be opened.

To restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted, press the button again.

DOOR LOCKED indicator light: this indicates that the porthole door is locked. To open the door, pause the wash cycle (see following page).

CHILD LOCK button and indicator light: this is used to enable or disable the “Child lock” function, by pressing the button for approximately 2 seconds. When the indicator light is illuminated, the control panel is locked. This avoids accidental changes being made to the wash cycles, especially where children are at home.

ECO indicator light: the icon lights up when the electricity saving reaches at least 10% (this can be achieved by adjusting the wash cycle settings).
