Daily Mix Wash & Dry
use programme 1 to wash and dry mixed garments (cotton and
synthetics). This cycle may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 3,5 kg;
we recommend the use of liquid detergent.
The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the
formation of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Shirts & T-Shirts
Use programme 2 to wash and dry shirts and T-shirts in dierent fabrics
and colours to ensure maximum care. This cycle may be used to wash and
dry loads of up to 2 kg. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent
and pre-treat cus, collars and stains. The use of the steam in this
programme is optimised to reduce the formation of creases on garments,
making them easier to iron.
Pre Iron
Use this programme immediately before ironing; max. 1,5 kg load. The
use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the formation
of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Steam Refresh
For refreshing garments, neutralised unpleasant odours and relaxing the
bres by delivering steam into the drum. The garments will be damp at
the end of the cycle.
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.
Anti Stain Quick
This cycle is ideal for washing daily stains in 45’. It is ideal for mixed fabrics
and coloured garments.
If the drying option is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Dryness level “ ” recommended.
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 dierent colours.
We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special
additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.
If the drying option is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added

presence of dust in the air. Dryness level “ ” recommended.
White
For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.
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
ecient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.
Coloureds
For washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised to
keep colours bright even after repeated washing.
Ultradelicates
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.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle
is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate,
thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the
water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition.

Slow Spin
By selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.
Extra Rinse
Selecting this option allows for enhancing rinsing eciency and fully
removing the detergent. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.
Temperature
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the
temperature, press the
button.
Drying
Drying may be set as follows:
- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron “ ”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
Hanger “ ”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard “ ”: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard
without being ironed.
- Based on a set time period: between 40 and 180 minutes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the
maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is
complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back
in the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying
only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load. A
cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Press button to perform the drying-only cycle.
After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments),
press button to exclude the washing phase and start the drying phase
at the maximum level for the selected cycle.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and
the drum. Check all buttons.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine
o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washing machine.
Disconnect the water and power supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Clean the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned
using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
The washing machine has a “Auto-clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must
be run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the
quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean
the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40
wash cycles.
To start the cycle press buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds.
The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To
stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.
Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant
odours from forming.
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every
spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing
rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced
correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is
excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution
process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and
detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose
from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water
remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get
damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in
reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the
“Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.
