“Kg MODE”

(Function active only on Cotton and Synthetics programmes)

Through every wash phase “Kg MODE” allows to monitor information on the wash load in the drum.

So, as soon as the “Kg MODE” is set in motion, in the first 4 minutes of the wash, it:

-adjusts the amount of water required

-determines the length of the wash cycle

-controls rinsing

according to the type of fabric selected to be washed it:

-adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabric being washed

-recognises the presence of lather, increasing, if necessary, the amount of water during rinsing

-adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoiding any imbalance.

In this way “Kg MODE” is able to decide, by itself, the most suitable programme for each individual wash from the hundreds of possible wash combinations.

“Kg MODE” meets the need for easy use by permitting a simplified programme selection. Infact, the user need only tell the machine the type of fabric in the drum and the degree of soiling, to obtain a perfect wash with the highest level of drying possible with a spin which really cares for your clothes.

Door handle

Press the finger-bar inside the door handle to open the door.

DOOR SECURITY indicator light

A

B

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.

Aspecial 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 .

C

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

D

 

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 reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing and the

held in the water in the drum, thus 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.

“TEMPERATURE” selection button

E

 

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.

“DELAY START” button

F

 

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

G

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.
