Running a wash cycle
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off
button ; the text POWER ON 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.
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 “ Super Wash ” 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.
It can be used with or without bleach. If you wish to
bleach the items insert the additional compartment
(
4
) into compartment
1
. When pouring the bleach, be
careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the
central pivot
(see figure pag. 10).
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment
of the fabrics, press button until the “ Delicate ” level
is reached.
The cycle will reduce the drum rotation to ensure
washing results are perfect for delicate garments.
Set the rinse type.
Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse
type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the
“ Extra Rinse ” level, which makes it possible to select
an additional rinse after the standard cycle rinse and
remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again
for the “ Sensitive Skin ” level, which makes it possible to
select two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it
is recommended for very sensitive skin. Press the button
for the third time for the “ Anti allergy Rinse ” level, which
makes it possible to select three additional rinses to the
standard cycle rinses and remove major allergens such as
pollen, mites, cat and dog hair. Press the button again to
go back to the “ Normal Rinse ” rinse type. If the current
adjustment can be neither set nor changed, the display will
show “ Not allowed ”.
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.
