How to open the door during the
cycle of a programme
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 or drying, that the water level is above
the bottom edge of the door or that the drum is turning.
During drying the door can be opened only the first 10
minutes and at the end of drying (after the cooling phase).
If you cannot open the door but you need to open it you
have to switch the machine off by turning the
programme selector dial to “Off”.
After about 3 minutes the door can be opened (pay
attention to the water level and temperature!). To restart
depress the “Start/Pause” button.
9. End of the programme
The machine stops automatically.
If the Rinse Hold option has been selected, the light
of the “Start/Pause” button flashes and a static zero
appears on the display to indicate that the water must be
emptied out before opening the door.
The door can only be opened when a flashing zero
appears on the display.
Release of the lock is also indicated by the illumination
of the “End” light.
Turn the programme selector dial to Reset “Off” to
switch the machine off.
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.
