Total water l

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 ecient 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 dier from the indicated value.

for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

WASH CYCLES

60°

40°

h

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.

Mixed

For washing lightly to normally soiled resistant garments in
cotton, linen, synthetic bres and mixed bres.

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 ecient in terms of combined water and electricity
consumption.

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.

Delicates

Suitable for washing lightly soiled garments made of synthetic bres (e.g.
polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark Company
for washing wool garments classied as “hand-washable”,
provided that the wash complies with the instructions
appearing on the garment’s label and with those provided by
the manufacturer of this washing machine.

White

For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.

Duvet

Suitable for washing clothing padded with goose down, such as single
duvets (weighing under3 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.

Rapid 30 min

For washing lightly soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for wool,
silk and garments to be washed by hand.

Full Load 45 min

Suitable for washing a full load of cotton clothes moderately soiled in 45
minutes.

Shirts

Use the special wash cycle to wash shirts in dierent fabrics and colours
to guarantee they receive the best possible care.

Baby

Use the special wash cycle to remove the soiling typically caused by
babies, while removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to
prevent the delicate skin of babies from suering allergic reactions. The
cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a
greater quantity of water and optimising the eect of special disinfecting
additives added to the detergent.

Anti Stain 40°

the programme 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 particularly obstinate stains.

Anti Allergy

Suitable for removing major allergens such as pollen, mites and cat or
dog hair.

Spin & Drain

Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If you
exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only.

Rinse & Spin

Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.

DISPLAY

The display is useful when programming the washing machine and
provides plenty of information.

The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running
cycle appear (the display will show the maximum duration of the cycle chosen,
which may decrease after several minutes, since the eective duration of the
programme varies depending on the wash load and the settings chosen); if the
DELAY START option has been set, the countdown to the start of the selected
wash cycle will appear.
Pressing the corresponding but ton allows you to view the maximum spin speed
and temperature values attained by the machine during the set wash cycle, or
the values selected most recently, if these are compatible with the set wash cycle.

Locked door indicator
When lit, the symbol indicates that the door is locked. To prevent any
damage, wait until the symbol turns o before opening the door.

! The steam generated during the operation of the washing machine may
cause the porthole door to become hazy.
