Running a wash cycle

WARNING: before you use the washing machine for the EN first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry,

using the 90° cottons cycle.

1.SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the button. All the indicator lights will illuminate for 1 second and the text AQUALTIS will appear on the display; the indicator

light corresponding to the button will then remain lit in a constant manner and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash.

2.SELECT THE PROGRAMME. Turn the PROGRAMME KNOB left or right, until the required programme has been selected; the name of the programme will appear on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each programme; these may be adjusted. The cycle duration will also appear on the display.

3.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 wash cycles on the following page.

4.MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Description of the machine”.

5.CLOSE THE PORTHOLE DOOR.

6.CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons on the control panel:

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 “OFF”. If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored.

!Exception: if the programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

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. During the setting procedure, the delay period and the text “Starts in:” will be displayed, along with the flashing symbol. After the delayed start has been set, the symbol will remain fixed on the display, which will also indicate the duration of the selected cycle with the text “Ends in:” and the cycle duration. Press the DELAYED START button just once to display the delay time set previously.

After the countdown has begun, the display will show the text “Starts in:” and the delay period. Once the set delay time has elapsed, the machine will begin its cycle and the display will show “Ends in:” and the time

remaining until the end of the cycle. To remove the delayed start option, press the button until the display shows the text OFF; the symbol will disappear.

Modify the cycle settings.

Press the button to activate the option; the name of the option will then appear on the display and the corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

Press the button again to deactivate the option; the name of the option will then appear on the display followed by the text OFF, and the corresponding indicator light will switch off.

!If the selected option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle, this incompatibility will be signalled by the flashing of the indicator light and a sound alert (3 beeps); the option will not be activated.

!If the selected option is not compatible with another option that has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first option selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit in a constant manner.

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

7.START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light remains lit in a

fixed manner and the porthole door locks (the LOCK indicator light illuminates). The icons corresponding to the wash cycle phases will light up during the cycle to indicate which phase is currently in progress. To change a wash cycle once it has already started, pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button; then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door during a wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button; if the

LOCK indicator light is switched off you may open the door. 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 is indicated by the illuminated text END. The porthole door may be opened immediately. If the START/PAUSE indicator light is flashing, press the button to end the cycle. 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 until the cycle stops and the machine switches off.

Bag for quilts, curtains and delicate garments The Aqualtis washing machine makes it easier for you to wash even the most valuable and delicate garments in complete confidence thanks to the special bag which protects the laundry (this is supplied with the machine).

We recommend that the bag is used every time you wash quilts and padded items with an outer layer made using synthetic material.
