Indicator lights
The indicator lights provide important information.
This is what they can tell you:
Wash cycle phase indicator lights
As the WASH CYCLE knob is rotated, the indicator
lights illuminate, indicating the stages which will be
performed by the machine in accordance with the
selected wash cycle.
Once the desired wash cycle has been selected and
has begun, the indicator lights switch on one by one
to indicate which phase of the cycle is currently in
progress.
Note:
during the "Drain" phase, the indicator light
corresponding to the "Spin" cycle phase will illuminate.
Function buttons and corresponding indicator lights
When a function is selected, the corresponding
indicator light will illuminate.
If the selected function is not compatible with the
programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator
light will flash, a sound signal will be emitted and the
function will not be activated.
If a function which is incompatible with another
function selected previously, only the most recent
selection will remain active.
Temperature indicator light
When a temperature value is selected, the
corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
Drying indicator light
When a drying value is selected, the corresponding
indicator light will illuminate.
Child lock indicator light
To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the
button for approximately 2 seconds. When the
indicator light is illuminated, the control panel is
locked. This means it is possible to prevent wash
cycles from being modified accidentally, especially
where there are children in the home.
To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold
the button for approximately 2 seconds.
Door locked indicator light
If this indicator light is on, the appliance door is locked
to prevent it from being opened accidentally; to avoid
any damage, wait for the indicator light to switch off
before you open the appliance door.
N.B. If the DELAY TIMER function is activated, the door
cannot be opened; pause the machine by pressing the
START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it.
 If the START/PAUSE indicator light (orange) flashes
rapidly at the same time as the function indicator
light, this indicates a problem has occurred (see
“Troubleshooting”).
Starting a wash cycle
1. Turn the washing machine on by pressing the ON/OFF button. All the indicator lights will turn on for a few
seconds, then only the indicator lights relative to the selected programme settings will remain lit and the START/
PAUSE indicator light will flash.
2. Load the laundry and close the door.
3. Set the WASH CYCLE knob to the desired programme.
4. Set the washing temperature (see “Personalisation”).
5. Set the drying cycle if necessary (see “Personalisation”).
6. Measure out the detergent and washing additives (see “Detergents and laundry”).
7. Select the desired functions.
8. Start the wash cycle by pressing the START/PAUSE button and the corresponding indicator light will remain lit
in a fixed manner, in green. To cancel the set wash cycle, pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE
button and select a new cycle.
9. At the end of the wash cycle the
indicator light will switch on. The DOOR LOCKED indicator light will switch
off, indicating that the door may be opened. Take out your laundry and leave the appliance door ajar to make
sure the drum dries completely. Switch the washer-dryer off by pressing the ON/OFF button.
