Required dosage

Optional dosage

! Turning the knob to position 12 allows for accessing the menu from which to set additional washing programmes.

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 wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.

3)Long synthetics cycle: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C.

*By selecting the 14 cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washing machine will drain only.

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

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 resilient garments in

cotton, linen, synthetic fibres and mixed fibres.

Eco Cotton 60°/40°

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

Normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons .

Synthetics

Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic fibres

(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres.

Delicates

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.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark 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)

Anti Allergy

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

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 obstinate stains.

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.

Steam Refresh

The garments will be damp once the cycle is completed, so we recommend hanging them to dry (2 kg, roughly 3 items). This programme refreshes

garments by removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres. Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and select programme “Steam Refresh”. Garments

will be a little damp at the end of the cycle and can be worn after a few minutes. The “Steam Refresh” programme makes ironing easier.

!Do not add softeners or detergents.

!Not recommended for wool or silk garments.

OPTIONS

- If the selected option is incompatible with the set wash cycle or with another previously selected option, in the menu the name of

incompatible option is represented in grey color and the wording “Not available” will appear on the display, accompanied by a buzzer, the

option will not be activated.

Steam Hygiene

This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the fibres, which are treated at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible programme and select option Steam Hygiene.

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

Start Delay

When this option has been activated, the selected values of delay start will appear on the display. To remove the delayed start setting, press the button until “--:--” appears on the display.

Active Care

The detergent, premixed with water, creates an unique emulsion able to better penetrate the fibers of the garments, cleaning stains at even low temperatures, preserving both colors and fabrics. These results are obtained also due to the multiple different specific movements of the

drum which best take care of the garments.

Final Care

The washing machine will perform gentle tumbling through slow rotations of the drum. Final Care option starts after the cycle ends for a maximum duration of 6h and you can interrupt at any time by pressing

any button on control panel or turning the knob.

I Rapid / Eco

Otherwise after pushing for the 2nd time, option Eco is selected allowing

more energy saving.

Multi Rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency 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.

Easy Iron

By selecting this function, the wash and the spin cycles will be modified in

order to reduce the formation of creases.

Cold Wash

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, intensified 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.
