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 
blue 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

”). If these buttons are pressed again, 

the maximum values are restored.

  Drying may be set as follows:
 

A

- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:

 

Iron:

 suitable for clothes which will need ironing 

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

A1

” appears on the 

display.

 

Hanger:

 ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried 

fully. “

A2

” appears on the display.

 

Cupboard:

 suitable for laundry which can be put back 

in a cupboard without being ironed. “

A3

” appears on 

the display.

 

Extra:

 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 (Max. load 4 kg).

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much 
greater than the maximum stated load 

(see adjacent 

table of programmes)

, 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  
(

11-12-13

) in accordance with the type of fabric. The 

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

.

 

 

   

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.

Note

: if the SMART option has been selected, none of 

the incompatible options may be activated.

!

 

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 blue, 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.

press and hold the   button. The cycle will be stopped 
and the machine will switch off.
