Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order
to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments.
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
9
Main features of your washing machine
• Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.
• Stain programme for effectively treating stained washing.
• Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items.
• Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900, 700 or 500 rpm.
• RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to
prevent creasing.
• Delay timer: programme start can be delayed by 1 to 19 hours (e.g.
to times with a more economical power rate).
• Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected
and the programme phase which is running.
• Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes
your garments with extreme care.
• 3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.
• Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

Press this button to reduce the maximum speed of the final speed proposed
by the machine for the selected programme.
The maximum spin speed for cotton is 1000 rpm, for easy-cares and
wool 900 rpm and for delicates 700 rpm.

By selecting the wash programme, the pilot lights corresponding to the various phases making up the programme come on.
After the machine has started, only the running phase
pilot light stays on. When the programme has finished,
the END pilot light comes on.
Cancelling a programme
To cancel a programme which is running, turn the programme selector
dial to the RESET position: three flashing dashes will be displayed.

Altering a programme which is running
To alter a programme, first set the machine to PAUSE by pressing the
START/PAUSE button.
Before the machine starts the heating phase, i.e. within the first 15
minutes for cotton programmes, 1 0 minutes for easy-cares and delicate
programmes and 5 minutes for the wool programme, the selected wash
cycle can be modified.
Warning! If the programme selector dial is turned first to RESET and then
to the new programme, the progr amme which is running is cancelled, the
water is emptied out and the machine re-starts from water filling. To
simply modify the programme which is running, turn the programme
selector dial to the desired position (avoiding the RESETposition): when the
START/PAUSE button is pressed again, the machine restarts with the newly
selected programme from the point at which it was interrupted.
Opening the door after the programme has started
The door can only be opened before the machine starts the heating
phase (within the first 15, 10 or 5 minutes, depending on the programme selected - see paragraph above) and during the rinse phase.
Set the machine to PAUSE (by pressing the START/PAUSE button).
If the door does not open, this means that the machine is already heat-
ing, or that the water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
This prevents water from spilling out when the door is opened.
