If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the programme in progress, proceed as follows: � PAUSE the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button; � press the SKIP RESET button repeatedly, until only the DRAIN light remains lit; � press the START/PAUSE button again. When the water has been drained, the display shows a blinking zero. You may now select a new programme and press the START/PAUSE button to start it.
12. How to open the door during the cycle of a programme
You can open the door, after having set the washing machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist: � the washing machine is not in the heating phase beyond 55°C; � the level of the water is not high; � the drum is not turning. If these requirements are met, when you pause the washing machine, the door can be opened. Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button. After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door. Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine! When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted.
To complete the cycle, first press the SKIP RESET button (3 dashes appear on the display), and then choose one of the following options: � drain only: - press the FABRICS button to choose any type of fabric, press the SKIP RESET button (10) 3 times, so as to cause the light DRAIN to light up, and then press the START/PAUSE button. � drain and spin: - press the FABRICS button to select the type of fabric previously washed, eventually reduce the spin speed, and then press the SKIP RESET button twice, so as to cause the light SPIN to light up, and at the end press the START/PAUSE button. When the programme has been completed, a blinking zero appears on the display and the audible signal is given. Press the SKIP RESET button repeatedly to erase the programme that has just been carried out. If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the display and you will hear the audible signal. Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must erase the previously performed programme, it is also sufficient to press the FABRICS button and select a new programme. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out. Remove the laundry from the washing machine. Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry. We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket. Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.
13. End of programme
At the end of the programme, the washing machine stops automatically, gives an audible signal, and displays a blinking zero. If you had selected the RINSE HOLD or NIGHT CYLCE option , the light of the START/PAUSE button goes out, the zero on the display begins to flash, the door is locked and RINSE HOLD or NIGHT CYCLE light remains lit.
