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 programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Wash):
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.

Test programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Drying): select the 10 wash
programme and set the drying level to “A3”, for both loads. The rst drying cycle must be
carried out with the nominal load.

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

For all testing institutes:

2) Long cotton cycle: set programme 5 at temperature 40°C.

3) Long synthetics cycle: set cycle 6 at a temperature of 40°C.

* By selecting the cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washer-dryer will drain only.
** If a drying cycle is also programmed, the machine will run a “wash+dry” programme lasting

45’ and a 1kg laundry load.

! 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.

Daily Wash & Dry

use programme 1 to wash and dry mixed garments (cotton and
synthetics). This cycle may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 3 kg;
we recommend the use of liquid detergent.
The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the
formation of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.

Shirts Wash & Dry

Use programme 2 to wash and dry shirts and T-shirts in dierent fabrics
and colours to ensure maximum care. This cycle may be used to wash and
dry loads of up to 2 kg. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent
and pre-treat cus, collars and stains. The use of the steam in this
programme is optimised to reduce the formation of creases on garments,
making them easier to iron.

Pre Iron

Use this programme immediately before ironing; max. 1,5 kg load. The
use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the formation
of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.

Steam Refresh

For refreshing garments, neutralised unpleasant odours and relaxing the
bres by delivering steam into the drum. The garments will be damp at
the end of the cycle.

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.

Anti-Stain Quick

this programme is ideal for washing the most dicult daily stains in 1
hour. It is ideal for mixed fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your
clothes as it washes.
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Dryness level “A2” recommended.

Anti-Stain

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 obstinate stains.
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Dryness level “A2” recommended.

White

For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.

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.

Coloureds

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

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.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and
placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. Use liquid
detergent on delicate garments for best results.

When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle
is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate,
thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the
water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition.

To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 12 and set the
“Delicate” level from option .

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 washer-dryer. (M1318)

Fast

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

Rinse

Designed for rinsing and spinning.

Spin + Pump out

Designed for spinning and draining the water.

DISPLAY

The display is useful when programming the washer-dryer and provides
plenty of information.

B

A

C

Section A displays the duration of the various available wash cycles and,
once the cycle starts, the time remaining to the latter’s end (the display will
show the maximum duration of the selected cycle which may decrease
after a few minutes, as the actual duration varies in relation to the laundry
load and the chosen settings); if the DELAY option was set, the display will
show the time remaining to the start of the selected wash cycle.
Moreover, pressing the relative button allows for visualising the maximum
values for the temperature, spin speed or type of drying relative to the
selected programme or the most recently selected ones, if compatible
with the selected programme.
The “washing phases” relative to the selected cycle and the “washing
phase” of the running cycle appear in section B:

Main Wash

Rinse

Spin/Pump out

Drying

Section C displays – starting from the left – the icons corresponding to
“temperature”, “spin” and “drying”.
The “temperature” bars indicate the maximum temperature level
that can be selected for the chosen cycle.
The “spin” bars indicate the maximum spin speed that can be
selected for the chosen cycle.
The symbol lights up while the drying settings are being adjusted.

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.

To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE
button ; if the symbol is o, the door can be opened.

FIRSTTIME USE

Once the appliance has been installed, and before it is used for the rst

they are compatible with the selected cycle. Pressing the button
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.
