Running a wash cycle

	1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the	button;
GB
	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 and wash cycles on the following page.

3.MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out 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. Use the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these values may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

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 delayed start.

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.

Set the desired wash intensity.

Option 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 until the “Intensive” 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 until the “Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate garments.

Modify the cycle settings.

•Press the button to enable the option; the indicator light corresponding to the button will switch on.

•Press the button again to disable the option; the indicator light will switch off.

!If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.

!The options may affect the recommended load value and/or the duration of the cycle.

7.START THE WASH CYCLE. Press the START/ PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light will turn green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will

be lit). 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 amber 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 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.
