Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated automatically according to the load and type of fabric.

●The programme progress display shows the programme steps selected, the programme phase which is running and the end of the programme.

●The programme selector dial combines the function of programme and temperature selection, making it easier to set the programme.

●Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 90°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

●The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

●The balance control device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.

●The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

●Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

●The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

●With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

●Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

In the interest

of the environment

●Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

●Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.

●When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.

●Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed “Something Not Working”.

The selector dial can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise.

Positions “Economy” correspond to an ENERGY SAVING programme and “Cold” to a cold wash.

At the end of the programme the selector dial must be turned to position “Off”.

3 “Spin” button

Press this button repeatedly to change the spin speed or to select position “None” (no spin) , if you want your laundry to be spun at a speed different from the one proposed by the washing machine. The relevant light will light up.

The following speeds are available for the different fabrics:

•Cottons, linen:

500/700/900 max 1200 r.p.m. (for the model JLWM 1201) and 1400 r.p.m. (for the model JLWM 1402);

•Synthetics and wool: 500/700 max 900 r.p.m.;

•Duvet 40°/Delicates 30° and “30 Minute wash”: 500 max 700 r.p.m.

Position “None”

By selecting the option “None” the spinning phases are cancelled.

If you select this option with programmes for cotton and synthetics, the machine will perform some extra rinses.

4 “Option” buttons

Depending on the programme, different functions can be combined. These must be selected after choosing the desired programme and before depressing the “”Start/Pause” button.

When th3ese buttons are pressed, the corresponding pilot lights illuminate. When they are pressed again, the pilot lights go out.

If an incorrect option is selected, the pilot lights flash for about 2 seconds and the message Err is displayed. Press these buttons to select the following options:

•“Prewash”: select this option if you wish your laundry to be prewashed before the main wash (not available for Wool, Duvet 40° and “30 Minute

wash” ).

The prewash ends with a short spin at 650 rpm in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only drained. This option can be selected for heavily soiled laundry but not together with “Stain” option.

6

• “Quick”: select this option for laundry that is only slightly soiled in order to obtain a good washing result in a short time.

This option is not available with the Wool programmes, “Duvet 40°”, the Energy saving programmes “Economy” and “30 Minute wash”.

The washing time will be reduced according to the type of fabric and the selected temperature.

• “Stain”: select this button if you wish to add to the washing of heavy soiled laundry a stain phase: at the temperature of 40°C the special detergent for stains is loaded from the compartment marked .

This function is available in cotton and synthetic programmes with a temperature of 40° or higher.

The washing time will be prolonged by few minutes. The “Prewash” and the “Stain” options cannot be selected together.

• “Extra rinse”: this option can be selected with all programmes, except the wool programmes, “Duvet 40°” and “30 Minute wash”. The machine will add 2 rinses to the selected programme.

This option is recommended for people who are allergic to detergents, and areas where the water is very soft.

•“Quiet”: when you choose this option, the machine will not drain the water of the last rinse, so as not to crease the laundry.

As all spinning phases are cancelled, this washing cycle is very quiet and it can be useful at night or in hours with more economical power rate.

The machine will perform 3 additional rinses on cottons and 1 additional rinse on synthetics programmes.

At the end of the cycle, the light corresponding to the option “Quiet” and the “Rinse hold” pilot phase light are on, the “Start/Pause” button light goes out, the door locked light is on and the door cannot be opened to indicate that the water must be drained.

A blinking zero will appear on the display.

To empty out water there are 2 possibilities:

-Select “Drain” programme :

the water is emptied out without spinning.

-Select the “Spin” programme. Select the spin speed by means of the relevant button and then depress the “Start/Pause” button . The water is emptied out and the laundry is spun at the selected spin speed.

Attention!

Before selecting “Drain” programme, or “Spin” programme the selector dial has to be positioned on “Off”.

5 “Delay start” button

This button makes it possible to delay the starting of the programme from 30 min – 60 min – 90 min, 2 hours and then by 1 hour up to a maximum of 23 hours. The delay you have selected is shown on the display for about 3 seconds; afterwards, the duration of the programme reappears.

The Delay start cannot be selected with “Soak 30°”, “Drain” and “Spin” programmes.

Selecting the delayed start

You must select this option after you have set the programme and before you press the Start/Pause button.

The machine starts its countdown. The programme will start after the selected delay has expired.

Cancelling the delayed start

If you have already pressed the Start/Pause button, and you wish to cancel the delay time, proceed as follows:

•set the washing machine to Pause by pressing the Start/Pause button;

•press the “Delay start” button until the display shows the symbole “0’”.

•press the “Start/Pause” button again.

Important!

The door will be locked throughout the delay time. If you need to open the door, you must first set the washing machine to Pause by pressing the Start/Pause button. After you have closed the door, press the Start/Pause button again.

6 “Start/Pause” button

This button has two functions:

•Start: after you have selected the desired programme and options, press this button to start the washing machine. The light above the button will stop flashing and remain lit.

If you have selected a delay time, the countdown will begin and will be shown on the display.

•Pause: when you press this button again, the programme in progress is interrupted. The light above the button will start flashing. To restart the programme from the point at which it was interrupted, press the button again.
