duration will appear in the display.
During the first 8 minutes the machine
measures how much water is being
absorbed by the laundry. The
programme duration may be longer or
shorter depending on this absorbency
rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The machine lets
you know which section of the
programme has been reached.
The drum lighting switches off once the
