Foam detection
If you use too much detergent, too
much foam may be formed during the
wash cycle. The symbol Å lights up.
Foam may be also leaking out from the
detergent drawer. In order to remove
the foam, the appliance automatically
activates additional rinse cycles. This
extends programme duration.
You can also remove the foam yourself.
Mix one tablespoon of fabric softener
with 1/2 litre of water and pour it into
compartment II. This solution is not
suitable for outdoor clothing, sportswear
or items stuffed with down.
Note: To prevent the machine from
forming too much foam, add less
detergent to the next wash cycle with
the same load.
Childproof lock
(E 3 seg.)
You can lock the washing machine to
prevent the functions you have set from
being changed inadvertently.
To activate/deactivate, press and hold
the Spin speed and Ready in buttons at
the same time for approx.
three seconds. The E symbol appears
in the display panel.
■ E lights up: The childproof lock is
active.
■ E flashes: The childproof lock is
active and the programme selector
has been adjusted. If you reset the
programme selector to the initial
programme, the symbol lights up
again.
Notes
■ To avoid the programme to
terminate, do not turn the
programme selector beyond the off
position. If the appliance is switched
off while the programme is running
and childproof lock is activated, the
programme continues when the
appliance is switched back on.
■ To remove the laundry at the end of
the programme, deactivate the
childproof lock.
■ The childproof lock remains active,
even once the washing machine has
been switched off.
Adding/removing laundry
After starting the programme, you can
add or remove laundry as required.
Press the Inicio/Pausa A (Start/
Reload) button to pause the
programme. The Inicio/Pausa A (Start/
Reload) button indicator lamp flashes
and the machine checks whether it is
possible to add or remove laundry.
■ If the è symbol disappears in the
display panel, the washing machine
door is unlocked. You can add or
remove laundry.
Notes
– Do not leave the door open for
too long when adding/removing
laundry as water from the laundry
may leak out.
– The load display is not active
during reloading.
