Refer to your user manual.

To cancel a previously selected program/delay start, press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately 3 seconds.

The appliance will return to program selection mode.

For freestanding models

Cancelling the programme

Press and hold simultaneously Delay Start and Options until the appliance is in programme selection mode.

This is a general guide to solving this issue and may not be particular to your appliance.

To find more information specific to your appliance you may want to look at the user manual of your appliance.
