Electronic programme locking
Electronic programme locking prevents
the door from being opened or the
programme cancelled during a wash
programme. The electronic programme
locking is automatically cancelled at the
end of the programme.
Electronic system lock
The system lock prevents anyone from
using the washing machine without
your knowledge. When the system lock
is activated :
– the drum door cannot be opened
with the Door button and
– a programme cannot be started.
The indicator or check light marked PC
allows a service engineer to update
your machine in future years.
When, for example, new programmes
are developed or new fabrics are intro-
duced, a service engineer will be able
to modify existing programme cycles
accordingly as and when such devel-
opments become available.
