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 a delay timer.

To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option has been

activated, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start setting, press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.

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.

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).

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.

!If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
