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 dierent 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
ecient 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 bres

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
Certication 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). Start the programme without adding any laundry.

Prepare your laundry according to the recommendations in the “HINTS
AND TIPS” section. Load the laundry, close the door, open the water tap

“Start/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

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

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, intensied 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
fuction is enabled. To cancel the delayed start, press the button again until
the value ‚ ‘‘0‘‘ is shown on the display.
Multi Rinse
By selecting this option, the eciency 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.
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 predened temperature. If you want to change the
temperature, press the “Temp.” button. The value appears on the display.
Spin Speed
Every programme has a predened spin speed. If you want to change the
spin speed, press the “Spin Speed” button. The value appears on the display.
