How to run a wash cycle or a drying

cycle

1.

SWITCH  THE  MACHINE  ON.

 

Press  the    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.

 

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.

Setting  the  drying  cycle.

The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing

the DRYING button once or several times. Two

options are available:

- Based on the how damp the clothes are once they

have  been  dried:

Iron dry

: slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.

Hanger dry

: dry clothes to put away.

Cupboard dry

: very dry clothes, recommended for

towelling and bathrobes.

- Based on time: from 

40 

minutes to 

180

.

To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button

until the text OFF appears on the display.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much

greater than the maximum stated load 

(see adjacent

table)

, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is

complete, divide the garments into groups and put

some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow

the instructions provided for a "Drying only" cycle.

Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.

N.B: 

a cooling-down period is always added to the

end of each drying cycle.

Drying  only

Select a drying setting (

 - 

 - 

) using the WASH

CYCLE selector in accordance with the type of fabric, then

select the desired drying type using the DRYING button.

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

washer dryer 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.
