		and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in
		a green colour.

		Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed
		the maximum load value indicated in the table of
		programmes on the following page.

		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°) (1st press of the button)

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.

Modifying the cycle settings.

•Press the button to enable the function; the indicator light corresponding to the button will switch on.

•Press the button again to disable the function; the indicator light will switch off.

!If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the function will not be activated.

!If the selected function is not compatible with another function which has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first function

selected will flash and only the second function will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the enabled function will remain lit.

! The functions 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 will become green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be on). During the wash cycle, the name of the phase in progress will appear on the display. To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine using the START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in an orange colour); then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may

be opened (wait approximately 3 minutes). 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 will be indicated by the text “END OF CYCLE” on the display; when the DOOR LOCKED symbol switches off the door may be opened (wait approximately 3 minutes). 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. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off.
