How to run a wash cycle or a
drying cycle
1
.
SWITCH THE MACHINE ON.
Press the button; 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 and wash
cycles 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.
Use the WASH CYCLE
SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle. A
temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle;
these values may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will
appear on the display.
6.
CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE.
Use the relevant buttons:
Modify the temperature and/or spin speed.
The
machine automatically displays the maximum temperature
and spin speed values set for the selected cycle, or the
most recently-used settings if they are compatible with
the selected cycle. 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 the drying cycle
The first time the button
is pressed, the machine will
automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is
compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent
presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying
time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“
OFF
”).
Drying may be set as follows
:
A
- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron “A1”:
suitable for clothes which will need ironing
afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,
making them easier to remove.
Hanger “A2”:
ideal for clothes which do not need to be
dried fully.
Cupboard “A3”:
suitable for laundry which can be put
back in a cupboard without being ironed.
Extra “A4”:
suitable for garments which need to be dried
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.
B
- Based on a set time period: between
30
and
180
minutes
.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much
greater than the maximum stated load, 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.
A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each
drying cycle.
Drying only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (
12
-
13
-
14
)
in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or
time may also be set using the DRYING button
.
Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme
selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an
automatic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks
to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle
duration; the display will visualise the “
A2
” dryness level.
Set the desired wash intensity.
Option
makes it possible to optimise washing based
on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle
intensity.
Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically
set to “
Normal
” as optimised for garments with an average
level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool”
cycle, which is automatically set to “
Delicate
”).
For heavily-soiled garments press
button until the
“
Intensive
” level is reached. This level ensures a high-
performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used
in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum
rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn
stains.
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment
of the fabrics, press
button until the “
Delicate
” level
is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure
washing results that are perfect for delicate garments.
Modify the cycle settings.
• Press the button to enable the option; the indicator light
corresponding to the button will switch on.
• Press the button again to disable the option; the
indicator light will switch off.
!
If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash
cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be
activated.
!
If the selected option is not compatible with a previously
selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first
function selected will flash and only the second option will
be activated; the indicator light for the option which has been
activated will be illuminated.
!
The options may affect the recommended load value and/
or the duration of the cycle.
7.
START THE WASH CYCLE.
Press the START/PAUSE
button. The corresponding indicator light will turn green,
remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the
DOOR LOCKED
symbol will be lit). 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 amber 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
” 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.
