3.- Use of controls and
selection keys
Power supply key of the washing
machine
If the key is pushed out, the washing machi-
ne is switched on. The maximum permitted
spin speed for the washing programme
selected will be lit up, as will the start/stop
key (this light-up switch may be flashing or
permanently on).
If the key is pushed in, the washing machi-
ne is switched off and no light will come on.
You may cut off the power supply to your
washing machine using this key (key pus-
hed in) while a programme is in operation
or when it has finished.
When you press the key again to reconnect
the washing machine to the power supply
(key pushed out), the washing machine will
continue what it was doing. If it was running
a programme, it will continue doing so until
its END, with the start/stop key lit up. The
washing phase in operation key and that of
the options selected will also be lit up. If, on
the other hand, the washing machine has
reached the END of the programme, it will
remain stopped with the start/stop light
flashing.
WARNING: if you cut off the power supply
of your washing machine while a washing
programme is in operation, the loading
door may be opened once the safety devi-
ce has been released (approximately 2
minutes). If you should open the door
under these conditions, please ensure
that the water level does not overflow out
of the door and that the temperature insi-
de is not too high. If you wish to stop the
programme for any reason, use the
start/stop key instead of this key, since the
washing machine will check on your behalf
that there have been no problems with
overflowing.
If the programme runs without interruption,
the loading door will be able to be opened
once the programme has finished and the
necessary time has elapsed for the door
locking safety device incorporated in the
washing machine to be released (approxi-
mately 2 minutes). This will be displayed
by means of the door locked pilot light
being switched off.
As a general rule, when a washing pro-
gramme finishes and the loading door of
the washing machine has been released,
the washing machine’s power supply
should be switched off by pressing this key
(key pushed in).
Programme selector control
With this control, you may select the was-
hing programme you desire. To do so, turn
it any direction until the index coincides
with the programme desired.
If you wish to cancel a washing programme
that has already started without it having
finished, select the EMPTYING/END pro-
gramme. This programme carries out an
emptying process and leaves the program-
me in its END position. When the light-up
switch of these washing stages indicates
END, the programme will have been can-
celled, it then being possible to select the
new programme.
Additional function keys
These keys provide you with the possibility
of incorporating previously selected was-
hing into the programme (if the latter
should enable it to do so); a series of addi-
tional functions and features that will enable
you to adjust the washing of your clothes
according to your wishes and require-
ments.
Your washing machine features the func-
tions described below:
Prewash key
When this option is selected, the pilot light
will light up and the clothes will be soaked
prior to starting the washing cycle. Energy
and water consumption increase accor-
dingly.
The water temperature during soaking will
be that of the programme selected, except
where the latter is 60 or 90º C, in which
case the soaking temperature will be limi-
ted to 40º C.
