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.
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 “Cleaning Action” 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 “Cleaning
Action” 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.
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment
of the fabrics, press button “Cleaning Action” until the
“
Delicate
” level is reached. The cycle will reduce the
drum rotation to ensure washing results are perfect for
delicate garments. If the current selection can be neither
set nor changed, the display will show “
Not allowed
”.
Set the rinse type.
Option “Anti Allergy Rinse” 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
”.

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

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
