WASH CYCLES
END
DEM O
h
Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash
care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum
recommended temperature for washing the garment.
Mixed
For washing lightly to normally soiled resilient garments in cotton, linen,
synthetic bres and mixed bres.
Eco Cotton
Suitable for washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 60°C it is the
standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the most ecient in
terms of combined water and electricity consumption.
Cotton
Normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons .
Synthetics
Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic bres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.
Delicates
For washing very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments
inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on
delicate garments.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark Company for
washing wool garments classied as “hand-washable”, provided that the
wash complies with the instructions appearing on the garment’s label
and with those provided by the manufacturer of this washing machine.
(M1135)
Anti Allergy
Suitable for removing major allergens such as pollen, mites and cat or dog hair.
Anti Stain
The programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant
colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A
class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of dierent
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with
special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.
White
For washing normally to heavily soiled towels, underwear, table and bed
linen, etc in resilient cotton and linen. Only when the temperature is
selected at 90°C the cycle is provided with a prewash phase before main
washing phase. In this case it is recommended to add detergent both, in
the prewash and main wash section.
Steam Refresh
The garments will be damp once the cycle is completed, so we recommend
hanging them to dry (2 kg, roughly 3 items). This programme refreshes
garments by removing bad odours and relaxing the bres. Insert dry items
only (that are not dirty) and select programme “Steam Refresh”. Garments
will be a little damp at the end of the cycle and can be worn after a few
minutes. The “Steam Refresh” programme makes ironing easier.
! Do not add softeners or detergents.
! Not recommended for wool or silk garments.
Rapid 30 min
For washing lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle lasts only 30
minutes, saving time and energy.
Bed & Bath
For washing home linen in a single cycle. It optimises the use of fabric
softener and allows for saving time and electricity. We recommend the
use of powder detergent.
Shirts
Use the special wash cycle to wash shirts in dierent fabrics and colours
to guarantee they receive the best possible care.
Spin & Drain
Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If you
exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only
Rinse & Spin
Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.

Steam Hygiene
This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during
the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the bres, which are treated
at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible
programme and select option Steam Hygiene.
! The steam generated during the operation of the washing machine may
cause the porthole door to become hazy.

rotations of the drum. Final Care option starts after the cycle ends for a
maximum duration of 6h and you can interrupt at any time by pressing
any button on control panel or turning the knob.
Active Care
The detergent, premixed with water, creates an unique emulsion able
to better penetrate the bers of the garments, cleaning stains at even
low temperatures, preserving both colors and fabrics. These results are
obtained also due to the multiple dierent specic movements of the
drum which best take care of the garments.
Start Delay

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and
the drum. Check all buttons.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine
o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washing machine.
Cutting o the water and electricity supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using
a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming.
ANTIMICROBIAL SEAL
The seal around the porthole door is made from a special mixture
ensuring antimicrobial protection, thus reducing bacterial proliferation
up to 99.99%.
The seal contains zinc pyrithione, a biocidal substance which reduces the
proliferation of harmful microbes (*) such as batteries and mould prone to
causing stains, unpleasant odours and product deterioration.
(*) According to tests performed by the University of Perugia, Italy
on: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coll, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium digitatum
In rare cases an allergic reaction may be caused by prolonged contact between
seal and skin.
ACCESSORIES
Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following
accessories are available for this washing machine model.
Stacking kit
With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of
your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and unloading
of the tumble dryer.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and
detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose from
the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in
the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during
transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the
transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Installation instructions”.
DESCALE AND CLEAN PROCEDURE
An icon on the display will regularly (roughly every 50 cycles) remind users
that is time to run a maintenance cycle to clean the washing machine and
combat limescale build-up and bad odours.
To delete the descale alert turn the knob or push any button (including
ON/OFF button).
For optimal maintenance:
1. Empty the washing machine drum.
2. To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a
quantity 10% the quantity specied for lightly-soiled garments) or special
additives to clean the washing machine.
