How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle

1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off button

GB ; the text POWER ON will appear on the display and 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 on the following page.

3.MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Open 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. Press one of the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

6.CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:

Modifying the temperature. The machine automatically select the maximum temperature set for the selected wash cycle; this values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash “OFF” setting is reached. If this button is pressed again, the maximum values are restored.

Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option is enabled, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start function press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.

Setting the drying cycle.

The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the

DRYING button once or several times. Two options are available:

A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have been dried:

Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.

Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.

Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.

Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.

B - Based on a set time period: between 20 and 180 minutes. To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until the text OFF appears on the display.

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load. A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.

Drying only

Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle () in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or time may also be set using the DRYING button . Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an automatic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle duration; the display will visualise the “Eco” dryness level.

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 “Super

Wash” 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 the drum rotation to ensure washing results are perfect for delicate garments. If the current selection can be neither set nor changed, the display will show “Not allowed”.

Set the rinse type.

Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra Rinse” level, which makes it possible to select an additional rinse after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again for the “Sensitive Skin” level, which makes

it possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. Press the button for the third time for the “Anti allergy Rinse” level, which makes it possible to select three additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses and remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat and dog hair. Press the button again to go back to the “Normal Rinse” rinse type. If the current adjustment can be neither set nor changed, the display will show “Not allowed”.

Modifying the cycle settings.

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