The door block lamp
The safety lamp indicates that the
washing machine door is blocked
to prevent it from being opened
accidentally. To avoid any
damages, you must wait for the
lamp to switch itself off before
you open the door. You must
wait around three minutes.
Anti-crease
This function (represented by the
symbol ) interrupts the wash
programme, keeping the washing
soaking in water before draining.
It is only enabled in programmes
for
synthetic fabrics
,
silk
and
curtains
. It is very useful,
because it prevents delicate and
synthetic fabrics from creasing
(for example, when you cannot
take the washing out at the end
of the wash cycle but only a few
hours later). The programme can
be completed by turning knob
A
one notch. In the case of
synthetic fabrics
, should you
prefer
draining
rather than a
spin
cycle
, turn knob
A
until you have
selected the symbol (
Drain
).
Rapid wash
This button reduces the length of
the wash programme by about
30%. It cannot be used with
special programmes (see page 18)
or those for wool and silk.
Stain removal (see page 21)
Thanks to this command, Mar-
gherita will carry out a more in-
tensive wash that optimises the
effectiveness of the liquid
additives, thus allowing more
resistant stains to be removed.
When you press the stain removal
button, you cannot activate the
pre-wash cycle (
G
).
Pre-wash
With this button, you can pre-
wash on all programmes except
the wool programme and the
special programmes (see page
18).
On-off
When button
H
is pressed, the
washing machine is switched on,
when it is not the machine is
switched off.
Turning the appliance off does
not cancel the selected
programme.
The on-off lamp
Lamp

programme to be set. A steady light
means the appliance has accepted
the selected programme.

the appliance door and change
the washing load, should you
wish to do so.
After the wash cycle has been set
and accepted by the washing
machine, turning the knob will
have no effect (except for when
it is on position Stop/Reset).
Temperature control knob
It is used to set the wash tempe-
rature indicated in the
programme table. It also allows
you to reduce the temperature
recommended for the selected
programme, and even to set a
cold wash cycle ( ).
Detergent dispenser
It is divided into three
compartments:
1. Detergent for pre-washing;
2. Detergent for the wash cycle;
3. Fabric softeners.
The washing machine is
equipped with extra
compartment
4
(provided) for
the bleach, to be inserted in
compartment
1
.
Extra Economy
Reduces water consumption
during the rinse cycles. We
recommend that you use this
function only with small laundry
loads, dosing the detergent
proportionally.
