The display is useful when programming the machine and provides a great deal of information.

The upper two strings A and B are used to display the selected wash cycle or the type of drying selected, the
current wash cycle phase (the selected dryness level or drying time) and all the indications relating to the
progress status of the cycle.

String C shows the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle in progress and, if a DELAYED START has
been set, the time remaining until the start of the selected wash cycle.

String D shows the maximum spin speed value (this depends on the selected wash cycle); if the wash cycle
does not include a spin cycle, the string remains unused.
String E shows the maximum temperature value which may be selected (this depends on the wash cycle used);
if the temperature of the wash cycle cannot be modified, the string remains unused.
Indicator lights F correspond to the functions and light up when the selected function is compatible with the
set wash cycle.
Door locked symbol
If the symbol is lit, this indicates that the washer dryer door is blocked to prevent it from being opened
accidentally. To prevent any damage from occurring, wait for the symbol to switch itself off before opening
the appliance door.
N.B.: if the DELAYED START function has been activated, the door cannot be opened; pauses the machine by
pressing the START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it.

 The first time the machine is switched on, you will be asked to select the language and the display will

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there

are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately:
during the wash cycles, water pressure is very
strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

 Never use second-hand hoses.
