Running a wash cycle

1. 

SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. 

Press the On/Off 

button  ; the text HELLO 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. 

Open 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. 

!

 

Exception: if the

 

 (60°) 

(1st press of the button) 

 

programme is selected, the temperature can be 
increased up to a value of 90°C.

 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 (wait 

approximately 3 minutes). 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 (wait approximately 3 minutes). 
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.
