Introduction

EN

This washing machine is equipped with two tanks: one for liquid detergent (either concentrated or diluted) with a capacity of approx. 5.5 l

Filling the tanks:

Open the detergent dispenser drawer in the "Auto Dose System" mode (refer to "Detergent dispenser").

Slowly pour the detergent (B) and fabric softener (C) until the tanks are completely filled (see picture).

and another for liquid fabric softener (either concentrated or diluted) with a capacity of approx. 3.5 l (see picture).

￿ Check the detergent/fabric softener box to verify whether it is diluted or concentrated detergent. The automatic

dosing system intakes the correct amount of detergent and fabric softener from the

B

C

tanks for each type of load and at the right time, guaranteeing optimal washing results without wastage. The amount of detergent/fabric softener can be modified manually by pressing the DETERGENT and FABRIC SOFTENER buttons (refer to "Modifying pre-set parameters"). If you prefer, the washing machine can also be used in the "traditional" mode, i.e. by adding the detergent in the dispenser; the machine will automatically detect the detergent and will not use the tanks.

Detergent dispenser

"Traditional" mode.

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first stop point to add the detergent (either liquid or powder detergent), bleach or other additives (e.g. whiteners) and the pre-wash detergent for washing in the "traditional" mode (refer to "Traditional” mode).

"Auto Dose System” mode.

A	In order to fill the detergent
	and fabric softener tanks,
	the detergent dispenser
	drawer must be fully
	extracted: open the dispenser
	drawer up to the first stop
	point then press the lever (A)
	and open up to the second
	stop point, making sure that
	it is fully extracted. Avoid

moving the dispenser drawer during filling operations. Once the tanks have been filled (refer to "Filling the tanks"), the machine can run up to 40 cycles before the detergent finishes (*).

First-time use

Turn the washing machine on by pressing the ON/OFF button. The first wash cycle must be carried out without laundry and by adding detergent in the detergent dispenser (refer to "Traditional” mode); set the programme "" (Cotton 90°) without pre-wash and without filling the tanks.

(*)with an average load of 4 kg, 40°C Cotton programme, "medium" water hardness level and dirt level set to 3.

To avoid exceeding the maximum capacity, a buzzer (beep) will sound with growing intensity to signal the level and 3 long beeps will sound once the tank is completely full.

Start the wash cycle immediately after filling the tanks to ensure that the dispenser is properly cleaned.The respective icons (for the detergent) and (for the fabric softener) will light up gradually to signal the level.

The filling time depends on the density of the product. Very dense products will take longer to fill.

Close the detergent dispenser drawer only once the compartments are completely empty.

Select the density of the detergent added (either concentrated or liquid) by pressing the appropriate button .

The machine will store the selection.

If no option is selected, the detergent intake option will be pre-set to "diluted".

Use button to set the amount of fabric softener that will be automatically extracted by the machine:

1)If concentrated softener is used, we recommend selecting the first level ( with one bar) and, if necessary, stepping up by a single position ( with 2 bars) to increase detergent intake.

2)If diluted softener is used, we recommend setting level 3 ( with 3 bars) and to then either increase/decrease the amount of fabric softener to be extracted.

3)To exclude the use of fabric softener, press until the bars disappear (also refer to "Modifying pre-set parameters").
