Required dosage Optional dosage

The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of detergent, load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional options selected.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010:

This cycle is designed for normally soiled cotton loads and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments washable at 60°C or at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

For all testing institutes:

2)Long cotton cycle: set cycle 7 at a temperature of 40°C.

3)Long synthetics cycle: set cycle 8 at a temperature of 40°C.

*By selecting the cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washing machine will drain only.

**The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display.

PROGRAMMES

Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum recommended temperature for washing the garment.

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 different colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special

additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains

Anti Stain Quick

This cycle is ideal for washing daily stains in 45’. It is ideal for mixed fabrics

and coloured garments.

White

For washing normally to heavily soiled towels, underwear, table and bed linen, etc in resilient cotton and linen. Only when the temperature is selected at 90°C the cycle is provided with a prewash phase before main washing phase. In this case it is recommended to add detergent both, in

the prewash and main wash section.

Bed Linen

For washing home linen in a single cycle. It optimises the use of fabric softener and allows for saving time and electricity. We recommend the

use of powder detergent.

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

efficient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.

Mixed

To wash mixed and coloured items together.

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 fibres

(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres.

Coloureds

keep colours bright even after repeated washing.

Fast 30 min

For washing lightly soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for wool,

silk and garments to be washed by hand.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

The Wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool

garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the products are washed according to the instructions on

the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine (M1126). The Woolmark logo is a Certification

mark in many countries.

Dark

For washing dark-coloured garments. The wash cycle is designed to preserve dark colours over time.

We recommend using a liquid detergent for best results, preferably when

washing dark-coloured garments.

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.

Duvet

Suitable for washing clothing padded with goose down, such as single duvets (weighing under 2 kg), cushions or down jackets. Duvets should be loaded into the drum with their edges folded inwards and no more than ¾ of the total drum volume should be used up. For best results, it is

advisable to use liquid detergent to be poured into the detergent drawer.

Rinse + Spin

Designed for rinsing and spinning.

Spin + Drain

Designed for spinning and draining the water.

FIRST TIME USE

To remove any manufacturing debris select the 3 programme at a temperature of 90°C. Pour a small quantity of detergent powder into the main wash 2 compartment of the detergent dispenser (maximum 1/3 of the quantity the detergent manufacturer recommends for lightly soiled laundry).

the programme selector to the desired programme and select any option if needed. The temperature and spin speed can be changed by pressing the “Temp.”button or the “Spin Speed”button. Pull out the detergent dispenser and add the detergent (and additives/ softener) now. Observe the dosing recommendations on the detergent pack. Then close the detergent dispenser and press the “Start/Pause” button. The “Start/Pause” button will lights up and the door will be locked.

PAUSE A RUNNING PROGRAMME

To pause the wash cycle, press the “Start/Pause” ; the indicator light will go off and the remaining time on display flash. To start the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted press the button again.

!If the selected option is incompatible with another previously set option, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Energy saver

This option saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle.

Press the button again to go back to the “Normal rinse”rinse type.

Cleaning Action

Option “Cleaning Action” makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.

For heavily-soiled garments press “Cleaning Action” button until the “” level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn stains. For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press “Cleaning Action” button until the “

” level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate garments.

Temperature

Every programme has a predefined temperature. If you want to change the temperature, press the “Temp.”button. The value appears on the display.

Spin Speed

Every programme has a predefined spin speed. If you want to change the spin speed, press the “Spin Speed”button. The value appears on the display.
