“DOOR SECURITY” indicator light

The “Door Security” indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully closed and the machine is ON. When "Start/Pause" is pressed on the machine with the door closed the indicator will flash momentarily and then illuminate.

If the door is not closed the indicator will continue to flash.

A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle. Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the “Door Security” light has gone out before opening the door. At the end of the cycle turn the programme selector to "OFF" .

“START/PAUSE” button

Press to start the selected cycle .

NOTE: FEW SECONDS AFTER THE START THE WASH CYCLE WILL BEGIN. DURING THE FIRST 4 MINUTES OF THE WASH CYCLE, THE KG MODE (ACTIVE ONLY ON COTTON AND SYNTHETICS PROGRAMMES) WILL WEIGH THE CLOTHES AND UPDATE THE MAXIMUM WASH TIME REMAINING ON THE DISPLAY EVERY FIVE SECONDS UNTIL THE WEIGHT HAS BEEN DETERMINED. WHILE THIS FUNCTION IS OPERATING THE “Kg MODE” INDICATOR IS ON.

Changing the settings after the programmes has started (PAUSE)

Press and hold the “START/PAUSE” button for about 2 seconds, the flashing lights on the options buttons and time remaining indicator will show that the machine has been paused, adjust as required and press the “START/PAUSE” button again to cancel the flashing lights. 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.

CANCELLING THE PROGRAMME

To cancel the programme, set the selector to the OFF position. Select a different programme. Re-set the programme selector to the OFF position.

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

“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/SILK – 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.

60°C

“WASH TEMPERATURE” button

40°C

When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light up to show the recommended wash temperature. The Temperature button can be used to decrease or increase the temperature of your chosen wash cycle. Each time the button is pressed, the new temperature level is shown on the Wash Temperature Indicator.

If you want carry out a cold wash all the indicators must be off.

“DELAY START” button

This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle to delay the start of the cycle for up to 24 hours. To delay the start use the following procedure: Set the required programme. Press the button once to activate it (h00 appears on the display) and then press it again to set a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay increases by 1 hour each time the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, at which point pressing the button again will reset the delay start to zero.

Confirm by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button (the light on the display starts to flash). The countdown will begin and when it has finished the programme will start automatically It is possible to cancel the delay start by taking the following action: Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display will show the settings for the programme selected. At this stage it is possible to start the programme previously selected by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button or to cancel the process by setting the selector to the OFF position and then selecting another programme.

Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

“SENSITIVE 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/Silk programs.

“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.

“SPIN SPEED” 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.
