! 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

OUCHH

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 40-60

For washing normally soiled cotton garments declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle. This is the standard cotton programme and the most ecient in terms of water and energy 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.

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.

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.

20°C

For washing lightly soiled cotton garments, at a temperature of 20 °C.

Duvet

Suitable for washing clothing padded with goose down, such as single duvets (weighing under 3 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.

White

For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.

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.

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.

Eco Cotton

For washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and 60°C.

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 star t 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. 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 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.

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 ash 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 ash 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 o.

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE

This will be indicated by the word “END” on the display; when the symbol switches o, the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch o the machine. If you do not press “ON/OFF” button, the washing machine will switch o automatically af ter about a 10 minutes.

OPTIONS

- If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will ash and the option will not be activated.

Extra Rinse

Selecting this option allows for enhancing rinsing eciency and fully removing the detergent. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

EXEXTTRRA TTOUC

Extra Touch

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 bres, 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.

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 symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start setting, press the button until “OFF” appears on the display.

Temperature Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the temperature, press the button. The value will appear on the display.

Spin Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed, press the button. The value will appear on the display.

CHILD LOCK

To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds. When the symbol is lit, the control panel is locked (except for the ON/OFF button). This will prevent accidental modications to wash cycles, especially when children are at home. To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to:

Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).

Empty the pockets:

Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and the drum. Check all buttons. Follow the dosage recommendation / additives It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent Use low temperature and longer duration The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration. Observe the load sizes Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy. Noise and remaining moisture content They are inuenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch o and unplug the washing machine. Do not use ammable uids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).

Cutting o the water and electricity supplies Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks. Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work. Cleaning the washing machine The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

The washing machine has a “Auto-Clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum. To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40 wash cycles. To start the programme, close the door, turn the machine ON and press button for 5 seconds. The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it under running water; this procedure should be eected regularly.

Caring for the door and drum Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Cleaning the pump The washing machine is tted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump.

! Make sure that the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting a screwdriver in the centre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever;

2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the cover back on;

5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance. Checking the water inlet hose Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open. ! Never use hoses that have already been used.

LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

ACCESSORIES

Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washing machine model.

Stacking kit

With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.

Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Installation instructions”.
