HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

FIRST TIME USE

Remove any manufacturing debris: 

•  Select the “Cotton”   programme at a temperature of 

60°C .

•  Pour a small quantity of detergent powder into the 

main wash compartment   of the detergent dispenser 

(maximum 1/3 of the quantity the detergent manufacturer 

recommends for lightly soiled laundry) .

•  Start the programme 

without adding any laundry

 (with 

empty drum) .

•  See section “DAILY USE” for more information on how to 

select and start a programme . 

 

DAILY USE

PREPARING THE LAUNDRY

Empty pockets

•  Coins, paper clips, etc . could damage the load and 

the washing machine components .

•  Tissues will break down during the wash cycle, 

and the fragments will have to be subsequently 

removed by hand .

Close all zippers, buttons, and hooks . Tie all 

ribbons or belts

•  Insert the smaller garments (e .g . nylon hosiery, 

belts, etc .) and garments with hooks (e .g . braziers) 

into a fabric bag or a pillowcase with a zipper . 

Remove any rings from curtains, or else place the 

curtains inside a fabric bag together with the rings .

Fabric type / Symbol on the wash label

•  Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, 

handwash items .

•  Colour  

Separate coloured and white items . Wash new coloured 

articles separately .

•  Size  

Wash items of different sizes in the same wash load, to 

improve washing efficiency and  distribution of the articles 

in the drum .

•  Delicates  

Wash delicate items separately; they require gentle 

treatment .

HOW TO USE THE WASHING MACHINE

1 .  Load laundry

Open the door and load the laundry . Load the 

articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without 

overfilling . Observe the load sizes given in the 

“PROGRAMME CHART” table . Overloading the machine will 

result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry .

2 .  Close door

Make sure that no laundry gets stuck between 

door glass and rubber seal . Close the door so 

that you can hear it click shut .

3 .  Open water tap

Make sure that the washing machine is connected to 

the water mains . Open the water tap .

Switch on washing machine

Press the “ON/OFF”   , the “Start/Pause” 

 lamp flashes 

slowly .

4 .  Set the desired programme

Select the required programme with the “Programme 

selector” dial . The duration of the wash cycle is shown 

on the display . The washing machine automatically 

displays the maximum temperature and spin speed settings 

possible for the selected programme . Adjust the temperature 

and/or spin speed settings if needed with the relative 

buttons .

Change temperature, if needed

Press the “Temperature”   button to progressively 

lower the temperature setting until cold wash has 

been set (“- -“ will be shown on the display) . Pressing 

the button again sets the highest possible setting .

Change spin speed, if needed

Press the “Spin”   button to progressively decrease 

the spin speed until the spin cycle is turned off (“0” will 

be shown on the display) . Pressing the button again 

sets the highest possible setting .

Select options, if needed

Press the button to select the option; the respective 

symbol on display illuminates .

Press the button again to cancel the option; the light 

extinguishes .

!

 If the selected option is incompatible with the programme 

set, the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) 

and the corresponding indicator light will flash .

!

 If the selected option is incompatible with another 

previously set option, only the most recent selection will 

remain active .
