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

The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running cycle appear in section A; if the DELAYED

START option has been set, the countdown to the start of the selected wash cycle will appear.

Pressing the corresponding button allows you to view the maximum spin speed and temperature values attained by the

machine during the set wash cycle, or the values selected most recently, if these are compatible with the set wash cycle.

The hour-glass flashes while the machine is processing data, depending on the wash cycle and level selected. After

a maximum of 10 minutes, the “hour-glass” icon remains lit in a fixed manner and the final amount of time remaining is

displayed. The hour-glass icon will then switch off approximately 1 minute after the final amount of time remaining has

appeared.

The “wash cycle phases” corresponding to the selected wash cycle and the “wash cycle phase” of the running wash cycle

appear in section B:

Main wash

Rinse

Spin

Drain

The icons corresponding to “temperature”, “spin” and “delayed start” (working from the left) are displayed in section C.

The “temperature” bars indicate the maximum temperature level which may be selected for the set cycle.

The “spin” bars indicate the maximum spin level which may be selected for the set cycle.

The “delay” symbol , when lit, indicates that the set “delayed start” value has appeared on the display.
