Childproof lock
To prevent the set functions of the

accidentally changed, activate the
childproof lock when the programme
has started.
To activate/deactivate the childproof
lock, press and hold the Start button
for approx. five seconds. The D symbol
appears on the display panel.
■ When D lights up: The childproof
lock is activated.
■ When D flashes: The childproof lock
is activated and the programme
selector has been adjusted. To
prevent the programme from
stopping, turn the programme
selector back to the original
programme. The symbol lights up
again.
Note: The childproof lock remains
activated after the programme has
ended and the appliance has been
switched off. You must always
deactivate the childproof lock if you
want to start a new programme.
Adding laundry
After starting the programme, you can
add or remove laundry:
1. Press the Start button to cancel the
programme.
The Start button indicator lamp
flashes and the machine checks
whether it is possible to add laundry.
Note: Do not leave the washing
machine door open for too long
when adding laundry, as water from
the laundry may leak out.
If the following appears on the
display panel:
– Both the YES and ¼ symbols are
lit up, it is possible to add
laundry.
– NO flashes, wait until the YES
and ¼ light up.
Do not open the washing
machine door until both the YES
and ¼ symbols are lit.
– The NO symbol is lit up, it is not
possible to add laundry.
For safety reasons, the washing
machine door remains locked
when the water level or
temperature is high, or while the
drum is turning, and it is not
possible to add laundry during
this time.
2. To continue the programme, press
the Start button again.
