Programme selector knob Use this knob to select the wash programme.

Turn this knob clockwise only. To select a programme, you should turn the knob so that the symbol/number of the desired programme is in line with the pointer on the knob.

Now press on/off button I (position I), pilot lamp L will start flashing.

After 5", the setting will be accepted, pilot lamp L will stop flashing (staying lit) and the wash cycle will begin.

Should you wish to interrupt the programme in progress or set a new one, select one of the symbols (Stop/Reset) and wait 5" : when the cancellation has been accepted, pilot lamp L flashes, and you can then turn the appliance off.

After the wash cycle has been set and accepted by the washing machine, turning the knob will have no effect (except for when it is on position Stop/ Reset).

Temperature control knob

It is used to set the wash tempe- rature in the recommended programme table on pag. 4. It also allows you to reduce the tempe- rature recommended for the selected programme, and even to set a cold wash cycle ().

Spin exclusion knob

It is used to exclude the spin cycle (by choosing symbol ) or to re- duce the spin speed of the selected programme.The maximum speed for the four types of fabric are:

Fabric

Speed

Cotton

1500 rpm

Synthetics

800 rpm

Wool

600 rpm

Silk

no

Note: distribution phase will be carried out at low speed.

Detergent dispenser

It is divided into 3 compartments:

1.Detergent for pre-wash;

2.Detergent for the main cycle wash;

3.Fabric conditioner.

The washing machine is equipped with an extra compartment 4 (provided as an accessory) for the bleach, to be inserted in compartment 1.

Easy iron

This function allows your washing to come out of the machine without creases, making it much easier to iron. You can use it with programmes 3-4(Cotton), 5-6-7(Synthetics) and 9-10(Delicates).

Press this button in programmes 5-6-7-9-10and the wash cycle will come to a stop on symbol .You can comple- te it by pressing button E again. Important: this function should not be used when button H (stain removal) has been pressed.

Extra rinsing

This helps to increase the amount of rinse cycles in programmes for cotton and synthetics fabrics.We recommend that you use it to improve the machine's rinsing power when dealing with a full load and a great amount of detergent.

Rapid wash

This button reduces the length of the wash programme by about 30%. It cannot be used with special programmes (see page 4) or those for wool and silk.

On-off

When button I is pressed, the washing machine is switched on, when it is not the machine is switched off.

Turning the appliance off does not cancel the selected programme.

The on-off lamp

Lamp L flashes when the appliance is switched on and awaiting a programme to be set. A steady light means the appliance has accepted the selected programme.

The door block lamp

The safety lamp indicates that the washing machine door is locked to prevent it from being opened accidentally. To avoid any damages to lock mechanism, you must wait for the lamp to extinguish, before attempting to open the door which takes around three minutes.

The detergent dispenser with the additional bleach compartment is here.

Stain removal (see page 7) Thanks to this command, the washing machine will carry out a more intensive wash that optimises the effectiveness of the liquid additives, thus allowing more resistant stains to be removed. When you press the stain removal button, you cannot activate the pre-wash.
