Running a wash cycle
1.
SWITCH THE MACHINE ON.
Press the button; the
text WELCOME will appear on the display and the START/
PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green colour.
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door.
Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed
the maximum load value indicated in the table of
programmes on the following page.
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into
the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents
and laundry”.
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.
5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Press one of the WASH
CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash
cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the
display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each
wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the
cycle will appear on the display.
6.
CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE.
Use the relevant
buttons:
Modifying the temperature and/or spin
speed. The machine automatically selects the
maximum temperature and spin speed set for the
selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore
be increased. The temperature can be decreased by
pressing the button, until the cold wash “OFF”
setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively
reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely
excluded (the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are
pressed again, the maximum values are restored.
Setting a delayed start.
To set a delayed start for the selected programme,
press the corresponding button repeatedly until the
required delay period has been reached. When this
option is enabled, the symbol lights up on the
display. To remove the delayed start function press the
button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.
Modifying the cycle settings.
• Press the button to enable the function; the indicator
light corresponding to the button will switch on.
• Press the button again to disable the function; the
indicator light will switch off.
!
If the selected function is not compatible with the
programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash
and the function will not be activated.
!
If the selected function is not compatible with
another function which has been selected previously,
the indicator light corresponding to the first function
selected will flash and only the second function will
be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the
enabled function will remain lit.
!
The functions may affect the recommended load value
and/or the duration of the cycle.
7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE
button. The corresponding indicator light will become
green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will
be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be on). During
the wash cycle, the name of the phase in progress will
appear on the display. To change a wash cycle while it is in
progress, pause the washing machine using the START/
PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash
slowly in an orange colour); then select the desired cycle
and press the START/PAUSE button again.
To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the
START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol
is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/
PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the
point at which it was interrupted.
8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be
indicated by the text “END OF CYCLE” on the display;
when the DOOR LOCKED
symbol switches off
the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the
laundry and switch off the machine.
!
If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun,
press and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped
and the machine will switch off.
