Running a wash cycle

Note: Once the appliance has been installed, and GB before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle

with detergent and no laundry, using the programme.

1.SWITCH ON THE MACHINE by pressing the ON/

OFF button. The icons for the START PROGRAMME buttons begin to flash and the WASHING TIME INDICATOR lights light up in a fixed manner, to indicate that the washing machine is ready to receive instructions.

2.LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the door using the handle. 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 AND ADDITIVES.

Pour the detergents into the drawer located inside the porthole door, taking care not to exceed the maximum levels indicated on the surface of the drawer and by the floating indicators. For further details, please refer to the chapter entitled “Description of the machine”.

4.CLOSE THE DOOR.

5. START THE

WASHING

PROGRAMME by

pressing the

corresponding START PROGRAMME

BUTTON. The icon

corresponding to the

selected programme illuminates in a fixed

manner, and all the wash time indicator lights switch off. The DOOR LOCKED indicator light illuminates in a fixed manner, to signal the activation of the door safety device.

For a description of the wash programmes available, please refer to the chapter entitled “Wash programmes”.

The procedure used to start the DELICATES programme is different; see paragraph "Delicates 30°" on the following page.

During the programme the WASH TIME INDICATOR lights illuminate in sequence, indicating how much of the programme has already been completed.

The diagram at the side refers to a situation in which approximately 50% of the cycle has been completed.

At the end of the cycle, all the WASHING TIME INDICATOR lights begin to flash.

6.The WASH PROGRAMME can be SUSPENDED by pressing the illuminated start programme button which begins to flash. After approximately two minutes the DOOR LOCKED indicator light will switch off to indicate that the door may be opened.

If you wish to add more detergent, make sure that the MAX floating indicator is not in a raised position.

To restart the wash programme, close the door again and press the corresponding start button once more.

To guarantee maximum safety, whenever there is a quantity of water in the drum which could leak out of the machine, it will not be possible to open the door (the DOOR LOCKED indicator light will remain lit even after the two minutes have passed).

The machine, in this case, should be switched off by pressing for approximately 2 seconds the ON/

OFF button, then waiting for the water to be drained automatically.

7.AT THE END OF THE PROGRAMME

At the end of the wash programme, the icon corresponding to the selected programme remains lit in a fixed manner, while all the washing time indicator lights begin to flash.

To start a new wash cycle the machine must be switched off and switched back on again, by pressing the ON/OFF button TWO TIMES.
