PERSONALISATION

Child safety

This option provides two types of locking :

• if the option is activated after the cycle

has started, no changes to the options or

programme is possible.

The cycle runs and you must deactivate

the option to run a new cycle.

• if the option is activated before the cycle

has started, the appliance cannot be

started.

To activate child safety, turn appliance on

and press “Extra rinse” and “Delay start”

simultaneously until the confirmation

symbol shows on in the display. The ap-

pliance memorises the selection of this op-

tion. To deactivate child safety, repeat the

process.

Audible signal

When the audible signal is activated, it

sounds when a button is pressed, at the

end of the programme, to indicate a fault.

To deactivate, turn appliance on and press

“Prewash” and “Extra rinse” simulta-

neously until the beep sounds. The signal is

only active if alarm sounds. To reactivate it,

repeat the same process.

nections comply with the installation

instructions.
