Making the right choice is important. And its easy.
Programme selector knob
and programmed start
Use this knob to select the wash
programme.
Turn this knob clockwise only.
To select a programme, you
should turn the knob so that the
symbol/number of the desired
programme is in line with the
pointer on the glass O.
Now press on/off button L
(position ON), pilot lamp M will
start flashing.
After 5", the setting will be
accepted, pilot lamp M will stop
flashing (staying lit) and the wash
cycle will begin.
Should you wish to interrupt the
programme in progress or set a
new one, select one of the
symbols (Stop/Reset) and wait
5" : when the cancellation has
been accepted, pilot lamp M
flashes, and you can then turn the
appliance off.
You can use this knob to delay
the appliance's operation.
Select one of the four delay time
positions, press the on/off button
L (position ON) and wait 5". The
setting has now been accepted
(pilot lamp M stays lit) and you
can select the programme you
desire.
Pilot lamp M has a particular
flashing motion (2" on and 4"
off) to indicate that a delayed
start has been set.
During this phase, you can open
the appliance door and change
the washing load, should you
wish to do so.
After the wash cycle has been set
and accepted by the washing
machine, turning the knob will
have no effect (except for when
it is on position Stop/Reset).
The detergent dispenser with
the additional bleach
compartment is here.

This button allows you to
