Altering an option or a running programme
It is possible to change some options before the pro- gramme carries them out.
Before you make any change, you must PAUSE the ap- pliance by pressing the button 5 .
Changing a running programme is possible only by re- setting it. Turn the programme selector dial to Off and then to the new programme position. Start the new programme by pressing the button 5 again. The washing water in the tub will be not emptied out.
Interrupting a programme
Press the button 5 to interrupt a programme which is running, the corresponding green pilot light starts blink- ing.
Press the button again to restart the programme.
Cancelling a programme
Turn the selector dial to Off position to cancel a pro- gramme which is running. Now you can select a new pro- gramme.
Opening the door
After the programme has started the door is locked. If, for any reason, you need to open it, set firstly the machine to PAUSE by pressing the button 5 . After a few minutes the pilot light 7.2 goes off and the door can be opened.
If the door remains locked, this means that the machine is already heating or that the water level is too high. In any case, do not try to force the door!
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 position. After a few minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to the water level and temperature!) .
After closing the door, it is necessary to select the pro- gramme and options again and to press button 5 .
At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically. The pilot light of button 5 goes off and after a few minutes the 7.2 pilot light goes off. The light 7.3 illuminates. The door can be opened.
If a programme or an option that ends with water left in the tub has been selected, the light 7.2 illuminates and the door remains locked to indicate that the water must be emptied out before opening the door.
Follow the below instructions to empty out the water:
1.Turn the programme selector dial to Off .
2.Select the draining or spinning programme.
3.Reduce the spin speed if needed, by pressing the relevant button.
4.Press button 5 .
At the end of the programme, the door can be now opened. Turn the programme selector dial to Off to switch the ma- chine off.

Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool- lens.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the gar- ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
