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

The following will appear in area A: the icon and selected washing programme, the washing phases and time remaining to

the end of the wash cycle.

Area B will include the two intensity levels relative to the DIRECT INJECTION option.

The indicator lights relative to the available functions appear in area C.

Area D will have the time remaining to the start of the selected programme if the DELAY TIMER function was set.

String E shows the maximum spin speed value (this depends on the selected wash cycle); if the programme does not inclu-

de the spin cycle, the dimly lit “--” symbol will appear in the area.

Area F will visualise the temperature value selectable on the basis of the set programme; if the temperature of the program-

me cannot be set, the area will show the symbol “--” dimly lit.

Door locked symbol

If the symbol is lit, this indicates that the washing machine 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.

press buttons G, L and M until the buzzer sounds. Press buttons X and Y to choose the desired level of luminosity then

confirm by pressing button Z.
