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.

(40°) 

(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.

!
