● on: the door cannot be opened.
The appliance is running.
● light off: the door can be opened.
The washing programme is finished.
● flashing light: the door is opening.
When the programme has finished, the

programme by depressing the “start
pause” button again.

Opening the door after the
programme has started
First set the machine to pause by
pressing the “start pause” button.
If the “door” light flashes and after
2 minutes goes off, the door can be
opened.
If the “door” light does not switch
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 2 minutes the door
can be opened (pay attention to the
water level and temperature!).
At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically.
If the “rinse hold” option has been
selected, the phase lights “end” and
“door” illuminate, the “start pause”
light goes off 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.
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.
