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 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.

 Set the WASH CYCLE 

knob to the desired programme; 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 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 dry:

 suitable for clothes which will need ironing 

afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, 
making them easier to remove; “

A1

” appears on the 

display.

 

Hanger dry:

 ideal for clothes which do not need to be 

dried fully; “

A2

” appears on the display.

 

Cupboard dry:

 suitable for laundry which can be put 

back in a cupboard without being ironed; “

A3

” appears 

on the display.

 

Extra dry:

 suitable for garments which need to be dried 

completely, such as sponges and bathrobes “

A4

”; 

appears on the display.

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 (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

Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle  
(

11-12

) in accordance with the type of fabric. The 

desired drying level or time may also be set using the 
DRYING button

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 

programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash 
and the option will not be activated.

If the selected option is not compatible with another 

option which has been selected previously, the indicator 
light corresponding to the first option selected will 
flash and only the second option will be activated; the 
indicator light corresponding to the enabled option will 
remain lit.

!

 

The options may affect the recommended load value 

and/or the duration of the cycle.

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).

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.

 This will be 

indicated by the text “

” on the display; when the 

DOOR LOCKED   symbol switches off the door may be 
opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch
