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 ecient 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 dier from the indicated value.

partition A (supplied) should be used for proper

4.

dosage.

into slot B.

Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners,

6.

etc.)

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.

Anti-Stain 100

This cycle 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 dierent colours.
We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special
additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains

Anti-Stain 45’

This cycle is ideal for washing daily stains in 45’. It is ideal for mixed fabrics
and coloured garments.

Whites

For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.

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.

Eco cotton

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

ecient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.

Mixed

To wash mixed and coloured items together.

Cotton

Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of
resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.

Synthetics

Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic bres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.

Colours

For washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised to
keep colours bright even after repeated washing.

Rapid 30’

For washing lightly soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for wool,
silk and garments to be washed by hand.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark
Company for washing wool garments classied 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. (M1127)

Darks

For washing dark-coloured garments. The wash cycle is designed to
preserve dark colours over time.
We recommend using a liquid detergent for best results, preferably when
washing dark-coloured garments.

Ultra-delicate

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.

Duvets

To wash double or single duvets (weighing under 3,5 kg), cushions or
down jackets. Duvets should be loaded into the drum with their edges
folded inwards and no more than ¾ of the total drum volume should be
used up. For best results, it is advisable to use liquid detergent to be
poured into the detergent drawer.

Rinse

Designed for rinsing and spinning.

Spin & Drain

Designed for spinning and draining the water.

DISPLAY

The display is useful when programming the washing machine and
provides plenty of information.

B

A

C

Section A displays the duration of the various available wash cycles and,
once the cycle starts, the time remaining to the latter’s end (the display
will show the maximum duration of the selected cycle which may
decrease after a few minutes, as the actual duration varies in relation to
the laundry load and the chosen settings); if the DELAY START function
was set, the display will show the time remaining to the start of the
selected wash cycle.
Pressing the corresponding button allows for viewing the maximum spin
speed and temperature values attained by the machine during the set
wash cycle, or the most recently selected values, if these are compatible
with the chosen wash cycle.
The “washing phases” relative to the selected cycle and the “washing
phase” of the running cycle appear in section B:

Wash
Rinse

Spin

Drain

Section C displays – starting from the left – the icons corresponding to
“temperature”, “spin” and “delay start”.
The “temperature” bars indicate the maximum temperature level
that can be selected for the chosen cycle.
The “spin” bars indicate the maximum spin speed that can be
selected for the chosen cycle.
When lit, the “delay” symbol indicates that the chosen “Delay start”
value appears on the display.

Locked door indicator

When lit, the symbol indicates that the door is locked. To prevent any
damage, wait until the symbol turns o before opening the door.

To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE
button ; if the symbol is o, the door can be opened.

FIRSTTIME USE

Once the appliance has been installed, and before it is used for the rst
time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, by setting the
“Auto-Clean” cycle.

DAILY USE

Prepare the laundry by following the suggestions appearing under the
“TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS” section.

- Press the ON/OFF button ; the indicator light relative to START/PAUSE
will ash slowly.

- Open the door. Load the laundry while making sure not to exceed the

maximum load quantity indicated in the wash cycle table.

- Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the

relevant compartments, as described in the “DETERGENT DISPENSER
DRAWER” section.

- Close the door.

- The machine automatically displays the maximum temperature and spin

speed values for the selected cycle, or the most recently used settings if
they are compatible with the selected cycle. Pressing the button
gradually reduces the temperature down to the cold wash “OFF” setting.
Pressing the button gradually reduces the spin speed until it is
completely excluded (“OFF” setting). Pressing the buttons further restores
the maximum allowed values for the selected cycle.

- Select the desired options.

- Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle; the relative

indicator light will light up steady and the door will lock ( symbol on).

PAUSING A CYCLE

To pause the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button again; the
indicator light will ash. To start the wash cycle from the point at which it
was interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.

OPENING THE DOOR, IF NECESSARY

Once a cycle starts, the symbol turns on to signal that the door cannot
be opened. While a wash cycle is running, the door remains locked. To
open the door while a cycle is under way, for example, to add or remove
garments, press the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle; the
indicator light will ash. If the symbol is not lit, the door may be
opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to continue the cycle.

CHANGING A RUNNING WASH CYCLE

To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine
using the START/PAUSE button (the relative indicator light will ash),
then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button
again.
! To cancel a cycle that has already begun, press and hold the ON/OFF
button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch o.

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE

This will be indicated by the word “END” on the display; when the
symbol switches o, the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the
laundry and switch o the machine. If you do not press ON/OFF
button, the washing machine will switch o automatically after about a
half of an hour.
