The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running cycle appear in section A (the display will show the maximum duration of the cycle chosen, which may decrease after several minutes, since the effective duration of the programme varies depending on the wash load and the settings chosen); if the DELAYED START option has been set, the countdown to the start of the selected wash cycle will appear. Moreover, pressing the relative button allows for visualising the maximum values for the temperature, spin speed or type of drying relative to the selected programme or the most recently selected ones, if compatible with the selected programme. 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/Pump out Drying The icons corresponding to “temperature”, “spin” and “drying” (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. dOOR LOCKED indicator light: The lit symbol indicates that the door is locked.
