Rapid reading of alarm codes
The last alarm code can be displayed even if the programme selector is not in the tenth position
(diagnostics) or if the appliance is in normal operating mode (e.g. during the execution of the washing
programme):
→ Press and hold down START/PAUSE and any of the option buttons for at least two seconds: the
LEDs initially switch off, and then display the flashing sequence corresponding to the alarm.
→ The alarm sequence continues as long as the two buttons are held down.
→ The alarm reading system is as described in paragraph 8.2.1.
→ While the alarms are displayed, the appliance continues to perform the cycle or, if in the programme
selection phase, maintains the previously-selected options in memory.
8.4 Cancelling the last alarm
It is good practice to cancel the last alarm:
•
after reading the alarm code, to check whether the alarm re-occurs during diagnostics
•
after repairing the appliance, to check whether it re-occurs during testing.
1. Select diagnostics mode and turn the programme selector to the tenth position (reading of alarms).
2. Press and hold down START/PAUSE and any of the option buttons at the same time.
3. Hold down the START/PAUSE and option buttons until the LEDs begin to flash (at least 2 seconds).
Important: The START/PAUSE button is configurable depending on the styling of the model, and is
not necessarily in the position shown in the figure.
