So how do you stop it?

You have a programme select button and a power switch.

To turn on, you ensure the power is on, then select the programme and close
the door. You select the programme by pressing the select button 'x' number
of times. The standard programme requires 2 presses. A heavy soil programme
is one press.

To cancel a programme midway, you would turn simply it off with the power
switch. When turned back on it will forget that it was midway and be ready
to have a new selection.

To resume a programme after an interruption, you simply close the door

After the programme has finished, the selected programme indicator flashes.
Closing the door in this state will not start a new programme; you must
select a new programme before it will start.
