Hi, I`ve just found your question because we had the same problem !
In the manual it will explain how to change from one programme to another. It also tells you to hold down the "start/pause" switch for about 3 seconds until the arrow light flashes & then shut the door.
This will then drain the machine for 45 seconds (I did ours twice). We`ve since used the machine a couple of times and it all seems ok.
Hope this helps..
