! 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 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 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.

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 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 bres. 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.

the washing machine will switch o automatically after about 15 minutes.

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 bres, 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
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding
button repeatedly until the desired delay period is reached. 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 bers of the garments, cleaning stains at even
low temperatures, preserving both colors and fabrics. These results are
obtained also due to the multiple dierent specic 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

After pushing the button for the 1st time, option Rapid is selected and the
cycle duration will be reduced.
Otherwise after pushing for the 2nd time, option Eco is selected allowing
more energy saving.

Multi Rinse

By selecting this option, the eciency 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 modied 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, intensied 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.

Prewash
