hi baz this is a test mode for shop display try these

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This relates to models, WF620-630-640-645-720-730-740-745-860. Also some WD models
It is in fact a Demo mode.
There have been 3 versions of Demo Mode used on these appliances.

Version 1(Production to- Date code 39 March 2005)

To Activate
1. From the Default screen of a programme, after switching the appliance on press both Start/Cancel and On/Off buttons together until d On appears in display.
2. Press the Start/Cancel button only and tESt appears in the screen (Temp & Spin symbols also appear)

To Deactivate

Press the Start/Cancel button until all the console LED's illuminate.
Press both Start/Cancel and On/Off buttons together until
d OFF appears.
The default screen returns and you can select a new programme.
Note:- The default screen information displayed on these models is that of the programme currently selected by the selector knob.

Version 2 ( during Date Code 39 March 2005- to Date Code 42 June 2005)

To Activate

1. Same method as version 1.

To Deactivate

1. Simply press the Cancel button and the appliance returns to default.

Version 3 (During Date Code 43 June 2005 - to date )

To Activate

1. Press On/Off and Start/Cancel together with the top left option button until d On appears.

To Deactivate

1. Press On/Off and Start/Cancel toghether with top left option button until d OF appears.

These variations could explain why some of us have to make several attempts to clear tESt.
