Opening the door
After the programme has started the door is locked. If,
for any reason, you need to open it, set firstly the ma-
chine to PAUSE by pressing the button 5. After a few
minutes it will be possible to open the door.
If the door remains locked, this means that the ma-
chine 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 se-
lector dial to Off. After a few minutes the door can be
opened (pay attention to the water level and tem-
perature!).
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 light of button 5
and the light corresponding to the just finished washing
phase go off.
The light C illuminates. After a few minutes the door
can be opened.
If you have set a programme or an option that ends
with water left in the tub, the light C illuminates. The
door remains locked to indicate that the water must be
emptied out before opening the door. During this time,
the drum continues to run at regular intervals until the
water draining.
Follow the below instructions to empty out the water:
1. Turn the programme selector dial to Off.
2. Set the draining or spinning programme.
3. If needed, reduce the spin speed, .
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 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 unpleas-
ant smells.
Stand by: once the programme has finished after
a few minutes the energy saving system is ena-
bled with the pilot lights switched on. By pressing any
button the appliance will come out of the energy saving
status.
Care and cleaning
Warning! You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you can carry
out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good
idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the
machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing,
and according to the softening powder manufacturer's
instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of
lime deposits.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by
pressing the catch down-
wards and by pulling it
out. Flush it out under a
tap, to remove any
traces of accumulated
powder.
To aid cleaning, the top
part of the additive com-
partment should be re-
moved.
