10 START/PAUSE button
This button has three functions:
a)Start
After having selected the required programme, press this button to start the machine; the display stops flashing.
b)Pause
To interrupt a wash programme which is running, press the START/PAUSE button: the figures displayed will start to flash.
The drying programmes cannot be interrupted.
To restart the programme from the point at which it was interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.
c)Drain
At the end of a programme which stops with water in the drum (RINSE HOLD option), or after the soak programme, press the START/PAUSE button to empty out the water: after a soak programme, the machine will empty only; after RINSE HOLD programmes, the machine will empty and spin.
11 DELAY START button
This button allows starting of the machine to be delayed by a maximum of 19 hours.
The button must be pressed after selecting the programme and before pressing the START/PAUSE button.
The figures indicating the time delay appear in the display next to the button. After one minute, the machine starts its countdown (hourly).
During the last hour, the remaining time is displayed every 5 minutes.
The delay start function cannot be used with the SPIN and DRAIN programmes.
To alter or cancel the time delay, press the START/ PAUSE button, then press the DELAY START button until the required time is displayed or the symbol 0h, if you wish to cancel the delay.
Then press the START/PAUSE button again.
When the delay is cancelled, the display shows the duration of the wash programme previously selected.
12 Operating pilot lights
The pilot lights come on individually, or in groups, according to the options selected.
The pilot lights flash for about three seconds if wash options are incorrectly selected. The message Err is displayed.
Altering a programme which is running
To alter a programme, press the START/PAUSE button. Before the machine starts the heating phase, i.e. within the first 15 minutes for cotton programmes, 10 minutes for synthetic and delicate programmes and 5 minutes for the wool programme, the following parameters can be altered:
-Fabrics
-Temperature
-ECONOMY or QUICK WASH.
The PREWASH option can be cancelled, but cannot be added, once the programme has started.
The SPIN SPEED option can be modified before the final spin.
To restart the wash programme, press the
START/PAUSE button again.
Opening the door after the wash programme has started
The door can only be opened before the machine starts the heating phase (within the first 15, 10 or 5 minutes, depending on the programme selected - see paragraph above).
Set the machine to PAUSE (by pressing the START/PAUSE button).
If the door does not open, this means that the machine is already heating, or that the water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
This prevents water from spilling out when the door is opened.
The door can only be opened when the pilot light next to the handle goes out.
