Electrolux 1271 VI - Manual (Page 17)

Cancelling a programme
To cancel a programme which is running, turn the programme selector
dial to the RESET position: three flashing dashes will be displayed.
Warning! After a programme which ends with water in the drum
(RINSE HOLD option), turn the selector dial first to RESET and then to
the PUMP OUT programme.
Altering a programme which is running
To alter a programme, first set the machine to PAUSE by pressing the
START/PAUSE button.
Before the machine starts the heating phase, i.e. within the first 15
minutes for cotton programmes, 10 minutes for easy-cares and delicate
programmes and 5 minutes for the wool programme, the selected wash
cycle can be modified.
Warning! If the programme selector dial is turned first to RESET and then
to the new programme, the programme which is running is cancelled, the
water is emptied out and the machine re-starts from water filling. To
simply modify the programme which is running, turn the programme
selector dial to the desired position (avoiding the RESET position): when the
START/PAUSE button is pressed again, the machine restarts with the newly
selected programme from the point at which it was interrupted.
Opening the door after the programme has started
The door can only be opened before the machine starts the heating
phase (within the first 15, 10 or 5 minutes, depending on the pro-
gramme selected - see paragraph above) and during the rinse phase.
Set the machine to PAUSE (by pressing the START/PAUSE button).
If the door does not open, this means that the machine is already heat-
ing, or that the water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
This prevents water from spilling out when the door is opened.
