Check whether: • The “Rinse Hold” light flashes, or the “Rinse Hold” button has been pressed; terminate this special option by pressing the button; • Another programme has been selected and the “Start/Pause” button is flashing. Reselect the desired programme and press the “Start/Pause” button; • The door has been opened and the “Start/Pause” light is flashing. Close the door and press the “Start/Pause” button again; • The “On/Off” button has been pressed and the light is on; • The washing machine safety system has been activated (see “Fault Indicators” table).
