Required dosage |
Optional dosage |
The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of detergent, load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional options selected.
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010:
This cycle is designed for normally soiled cotton loads and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments washable at 60°C or at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
For all testing institutes:
2)Long cotton cycle: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.
3)Long synthetics cycle: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C.
* By selecting the 14 cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washing machine will drain only.

WASH CYCLES
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 fibres and mixed fibres.
Eco Cotton 60°/40°
Suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and 60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the most
efficient 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 fibres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres.
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 classified 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. (M1126)
Anti Allergy
Suitable for removing major allergens such as pollen, mites and cat or dog hair.
Anti Stain 40°
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 different 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 (1 kg, roughly 3 items). This programme refreshes
garments by removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres. 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 different 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.
WASH CYCLE PHASE INDICATOR LIGHTS
Once the desired wash cycle has been selected and has begun, the indicator lights switch on one-by-one to indicate which phase of the cycle is currently in progress.

For optimal maintenance we suggest using WPRO Limescale and grease remover, according to the instructions shown on the package.
The product can be purchased by contacting the technical assistance service or through the website www.aristonchannel.com
The Company declines all liability for any damages to the appliance caused by the use of other cleaning products for washing machines available on the
market.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, 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 off and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washing machine.
Cutting off 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 filling 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.
