“SPIN SELECTION” button

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.

By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled. To reactivate the spin cycle press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set. To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that which is automatically suitable during the selection of the program.

It is possible to modify the spin speed without to pausing the machine.

Note:

The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced. This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so prolongs the life of your machine.

Spin speed indicator light

When you set a program, the maximum possible spin speed will be automatically shown by the relevant indicator light.

Choosing a smaller spin speed by the appropriate button, the relevant indicator light will go on.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing the "Start/Pause" button.

“STAIN BLASTER” Button

By pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the new system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping it at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum.

The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments. When the detergent enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, the speed increases in order to maximise the cleaning action. Thanks to this special system, the efficiency of the wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE PROGRAM.

“ALLERGY CARE” button

By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats with care the fibres of garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.

The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.

You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general, or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the Delicates and Woollens/Hand Wash programs.

“DRYING SELECTION” button

With the programme selector not in the OFF position, press the button to select the required drying programme; an indicator will light to display the drying result selected each time you press the button.

To cancel the selection before the start of a drying programme, press the button repeatedly until the indicators go out or return the programme selector to the OFF position.

To cancel the cycle during the drying phase, hold the button down for 2 seconds until the cooling indicator lights up; given the high temperature inside the drum, we recommend that you allow the dryer to complete the cool down period before returning the programme selector to the OFF position and removing the laundry.

Drying programme indicators

The indicators display the type of programme and/or drying time:

Automatic Programmes: By selecting one of these 3 automatic programmes, the washerdryer will calculate the time needed for drying and the residual dampness required, according to the load and drying type selected.

After pressing the START button, one of the indicators will light to display the drying time remaining.

= Extra dry drying programme (recommended for towels, bathrobes and bulky loads)

= Cupboard dry drying programme

= Iron dry drying programme

USEFUL TIPS:

The 30 minute drying programme is recommended for small loads (less than 1 kg) or slightly damp loads.

Your washer-dryer ends the cycle automatically when it reaches the drying level selected. For the correct operation of the appliance, it is preferable not to interrupt the drying phase unless it is really necessary.

Timed programmes:

120 minutes – 90 minutes – 60 minutes – 30 minutes: Dual function indicators:

If one of the 3 automatic drying programmes is selected, the indicators display the drying time remaining

They may be used to select timed drying programmes.

Cool down phase :

Switched on during the final cool down period, in the last 10 minutes of each drying phase.

“COLD WASH” button N

By pressing this button it is possible to transform every programme into a cold washing one, without modifying other characteristics (water level, times, rythmes, etc...).

Curtains, small carpets, man made delicate fabrics, non coulor fast garments can be safely washed thanks to this new device.

“FAST IRON” button

The Fast Iron function (Not available on COTTON programmes) minimizes creases as much as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics.

MIXED FABRICS - the water is gradually cooled throughout the final two rinses with no spinning and then a delicate spin assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.

DELICATE FABRICS – after the final two rinses with no spinning the machine stops in the final rinse stage and the option indicators blink. The load is held in the water in the drum, thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing.

WOLLENS/HAND WASH – after the final rinse the load is held in the water in the drum, thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing and the option indicators blink.

To complete the cycle press the Fast Iron button and the machine will pump out the water and complete the cycle.

If you do not want to spin the clothes and activate drain only:

-Turn the programme selector to the "OFF" position;

-Select programme drain only ;

-Switch on the appliance again by pressing the "Start/Pause" button.

START/PAUSE button

When a programme is selecting, wait for the “STOP” indicator light to flash before pressing the "Start/Pause" button.

Press to start the selected cycle (according to the selected cycle one indicator lights will go on) .

NOTE: When the "Start/Pause" button has been pressed, the appliance can take few seconds before it starts working.

Changing the settings after the programmes has started (PAUSE)

The programme may be paused at any time during the wash cycle by holding down the "Start/Pause" button for about two seconds. When the machine is in the paused mode, the indicator light "Time To End", spin speed and option buttons will flash.

To restart the programme, press the "Start/Pause" button once again.

If you wish to add or remove items during washing, wait 2 minutes until the safety device unlocks the door.

When you have carried out the manoeuvre, close the door, press "Start/Pause" button and the appliance will continue working where it left off.
