How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the 
button; the text
GB WELCOME 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. 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. 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 and/or spin speed. The machine automatically selects the maximum temperature and spin speed set for the selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore be increased. 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.
!Exception: if the 
(60°) 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 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 dry: slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.
Hanger dry: dry clothes to put away.
Cupboard dry: very dry clothes, recommended for towelling and bathrobes.
B - Based on time: from 40 minutes to 180.
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 (see adjacent table), 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.
N.B: a
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.
