Your New Washing Machine
Your new washing machine, which is fitted with the New Jet System, 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 Delay Start option allows you to delay starting of the wash programme, so allowing you for instance to
make use of overnight economy electricity tariffs.
●
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 Handwash programme with its new delicate wash system treats your delicate items with
extreme care.
●
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 turbidity sensor is a special device, which according to the degree of soiling of your laundry, analyses the
water turbidity during the rinses cycle and allows your washing machine to add eventually additional rinses.
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”.

rinses for cottons and “Automatic” programme and 1
rinse for synthetics, delicates and silk.
This option is recommended for people who are
allergic to detergents, and in areas where the water is
very soft.
Time Saving: this option can be used for lightly
soiled cotton, synthetic or delicates items in order to
obtain a good wash result in a short time. The washing
time will be reduced according to the type of fabric and
the selected temperature. Selecting this option
“Short” or “Very Short” will be shown in the display.
Delay Start: this option makes it possible to delay
the start of the washing programme by 30 min - 60 min

“Quickwash” and silk).

in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics,
whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the
water is only drained.
Intensive: for heavily soiled laundry.
This option can be selected only for cottons and
synthetics.
The washing time will be prolonged according to the
cycle temperature and the fabric type.
Easy Iron: selecting this button the laundry is
gently washed and spun to avoid any creasing. In this
way ironing is easier. Furthermore the machine will
perform 6 rinses instead of 3 for cotton and 4 rinses
instead of 3 for synthetics. This function can be used
for cotton and synthetic fabrics. If this option is
selected for cotton programmes, the spin speed
automatically will reduce to 900 rpm.
Economy: this option can be selected only for
synthetics lightly or normally soiled with a temperature
of 40°C or higher. The washing time will be prolonged.
