7. How to change a programme during its cycle
Before you make any change, you must pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button. It is possible to change any phase before the programme carries it out. When the programme has started, you can only reset it by turning the programme selector dial to O and then you can select the new programme. The washing water remains in the tub. Start the new programme by depressing the START/PAUSE button. Note: To drain the water before starting the new cycle, you have to cancel the programme and select the DRAIN cycle.
10. At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically. The START-PAUSE pilot light goes out and the END pilot light comes on. The door can be opened. If the Rinse Hold option has been selected, the END pilot light remains lit and the door is locked to indicate that the water must be emptied out before opening the door. To do this turn the programme selector dial to �O� and then to programme (drain) or (short spin). The spin programme is performed at the maximum speed. Switch the machine off by turning the programme selector dial to �O�. Remove the laundry from the drum and carefully check that the drum is empty so as to avoid any forgotten items being damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. shrinking) or their colour running into a load of whites. 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.
8. Cancelling a programme
Turn the selector dial to O to cancel a programme which is running. Now you can select a new programme.
9. Opening the door after the programme has started
First 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, that the water level is above the bottom edge of the door or that the drum is turning. 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 3 minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to the water level and temperature!).
