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 programme 3 at temperature 40°C.
3)Long synthetics cycle: set cycle 4 at a temperature of 40°C.
*By selecting the 15 cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washing machine will drain only.
**The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display.
***If “Steam Hygiene” option is set, the duration of the wash cycles will increase.

|
2 * 1 |
partition A (supplied) should be used for proper |
|
|
dosage. |

!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.
WASH CYCLES
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 fibres and mixed fibres.
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.
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.
Delicates
Suitable for washing lightly soiled garments made of synthetic fibres (e.g.
polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
The“Wool” wash cycle is approved by theWoolmark Company
for washing wool garments classified 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. (M1127)
White
For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.
Duvet
Suitable for washing clothing padded with goose down, such as single duvets (weighing under3,5 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 different 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 suffering allergic reactions. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect 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 different 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.
h
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 effective 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 button 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 off before opening the door.
To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE
button ; if the symbol is off, the door can be opened.
FIRST-TIME USE
Once the appliance has been installed, and before it is used for the first time, run a wash cycle with a very little detergent and no laundry, by
setting the “Auto-Clean” cycle. (see “CARE AND MAINTENANCE”)
DAILY USE
Prepare the laundry by following the suggestions appearing under the “TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS” section.
- Press the ON/OFF button ; the indicator light relative to START/PAUSE will flash slowly green.
-Open the door. Load the laundry while making sure not to exceed the maximum load quantity indicated in the wash cycle table.
-Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments, as described in the “DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER” section.
-Close the door.
-The machine automatically displays the maximum temperature and spin speed values for the selected cycle, or the most recently used settings if
they are compatible with the selected cycle. Pressing the |
60° |
button |
|
40° |
|
gradually reduces the temperature down to the cold wash “OFF” setting. Pressing the button gradually reduces the spin speed until it is completely excluded (“OFF” setting). Pressing the buttons further restores the maximum allowed values for the selected cycle.
-Select the desired wash cycle.
-Select the desired options.
- Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle; the relative
indicator light will light up steady green and the door will lock ( symbol on).
PAUSING A CYCLE
To pause the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button again; the indicator light will flash amber. To start the wash cycle from the point at
which it was interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.
OPENING THE DOOR, IF NECESSARY
Once a cycle starts, the symbol turns on to signal that the door cannot be opened. While a wash cycle is running, the door remains locked. To open the door while a cycle is under way, for example, to add or remove
garments, press the START/PAUSE |
|
button to pause the cycle; the |
indicator light will flash amber. If the |
symbol is not lit, the door may be |
|
opened. Press the START/PAUSE |
button again to continue the cycle. |
|
CHANGING A RUNNING WASH CYCLE
To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine using the START/PAUSE button (the relative indicator light will flash amber), then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again.
! To cancel a cycle that has already begun, press and hold the ON/OFF
button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off.
AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE
This will be indicated by the word “END” on the display; when the symbol switches off, the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine. If you do not press ON/OFF button, the washing
machine will switch off automatically after about a half of an hour.

|
After pushing the button for the 1st time, option “Rapid Option” |
is |
selected and the cycle duration will be reduced. |
|
After pushing the button for the 2nd time, option “Steam Hygiene” |
|
enhances washing performance by generating steam during the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the fibres, which are treated at the same time.
! The steam generated during the operation of the washing machine may cause the porthole door to become hazy.
