[. . . ] The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded “OFF”. If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored. Exception: if the programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. During the setting procedure, the delay period and the text “Starts in:” will be displayed, along with the flashing symbol. After the delayed start has been set, the symbol will remain fixed on the display, which will also indicate the duration of the selected cycle with the text “Ends in:” and the cycle duration. Press the DELAYED START button just once to display the delay time set previously. After the countdown has begun, the display will show the text “Starts in:” and the delay period. Once the set delay time has elapsed, the machine will begin its cycle and the display will show “Ends in:” and the time remaining until the end of the cycle.

If the selected option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle, this incompatibility will be signalled by the flashing of the indicator light and a sound alert (3 beeps); the option will not be activated. If the selected option is not compatible with another option that has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first option selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit in a constant manner. The options may affect the recommended load value and/ or the duration of the cycle. The corresponding indicator light remains lit in a fixed manner and the porthole door locks (the DOOR LOCKED indicator light illuminates).

To open the door during a wash cycle, press the START/ PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED indicator light is switched off you may open the door.

[. . . ] €¢ If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience. €¢ The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe. €¢ The wash cycle does not include draining: Some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and options”).
