How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle

	1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the	button;
GB
	the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a
	blue 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 and wash cycles 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. Use the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these values may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

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

Modify the temperature and/or spin speed. The machine automatically displays the maximum temperature and spin speed values set for the selected cycle, or the most recently-used settings if they are compatible with the selected cycle. 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.

Setting the drying cycle

The first time the button is pressed, the machine will automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”). If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored.

Drying may be set as follows:

A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level: Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove. “A1” appears on the display.

Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. “A2” appears on the display.

Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed. “A3” appears on the display.

Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as sponges and bathrobes. “A4” appears on the display.

B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes (Max. load 4 kg).

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table of programmes), 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.
