Compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Compartment 2: Washing detergent
(powder or liquid)

Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softene rs, etc.)

The fabric sof tener must not exceed the “MAX” level.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton

garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at
temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the
detergent packaging.

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 40

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 dierent
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 Bath

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 40-60

For washing normally soiled cotton garments declared to be washable
at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle. This is the standard cotton
programme and the most ecient in terms of water and energy
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
bres (e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic­cotton bres.

Colours

For washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised
to keep colours bright even after repeated washing.

Rapid 30‘

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
Certication mark in many countries.

20 °C

For washing lightly soiled cotton garments, at a temperature of 20 °C.

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 3 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.
Eco Cotton

For washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and 60°C.

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). Start the programme without adding any laundry.

DAILY USE

Prepare your laundry according to the recommendations in the “HINTS
AND TIPS” section. Load the laundry, close the door, open the water
tap and press the “ON/OFF” button to switch the washing machine
on, the “Star t/Pause” button ashes. Turn 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 o and the remaining time on display ash. To start the wash cycle
from the point at which it was interrupted press the button again.

OPEN THE DOOR, IF REQUIRED

After starting a programme, the “Door locked” indicator lights up to
show that the door can not be opened. As long as a wash programme is
running, the door remains locked. To open the door while a programme
is in progress, press the “Start/Pause” to pause the programme.
Provided the water level and/or temperature is/are not too high, the
“Door locked” indicator light goes o and you can open the door.
For example to add or remove laundry. Press the “Start/Pause” button
again to continue the programme.

PROGRAMME END

The “Door locked” indicator light goes o and the display shows
“End”. To switch o the washing machine after programme ends press the
“ON/OFF” button, the lights goes o. If you do not press “ON/OFF”
button, the washing machine will switch o automatically after about a
10 minutes. Close the water tap, open the door and unload the washing
machine. Leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry.

OPTIONS

! If the selected option is incompatible with the programme set,

the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the
corresponding indicator light will ash.
! 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, intensied wash action and water optimisation ensure
great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid
detergent.

Start Delay

To set the selected programme to start at a later time, press the button
to set the desired delay time. Symbol lights on the display when this
function is enabled. To cancel the delayed start, press the button again
until the value ‚ ‘‘0‘‘ is shown on the display.

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.

Multi Rinse

By selecting this option, the eciency of the rinse is increased and
optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for
sensitive skin. Press the button once, two or three times to select an
additional 1 , 2 or 3 rinses after the standard cycle rinse and
remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again to go back to the
“Normal rinse” rinse type.

Temperature

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

Spin Speed

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