changing a programme

To change the programme if the washing cycle has already started, follow the steps below.
1. Open the door slightly to avoid water spillage before opening the door fully. Check if the unit has
dispensed the detergent or detergent tablet. This will depend on how long the washing cycle has
been running.

the required new programme. Press the OPT button to select other functions. Close the door.
The unit will start the new washing cycle shortly.

paused.

• No light means the unit is on standby.
