1. Load the machine, close the drum doors and check that they are properly locked.

2. Add detergent and additives into the dispenser to no more than the “MAX” level mark, as follows:

• Programme with pre and main wash

• Main wash programme without prewash

• Fabric softeners and conditioners

• Stain remover agents

• Anti-scale agents (if necessary)

3. Close the lid.

4. Turn the programme selector to the desired programme and temperature. The time display shows the duration of the chosen programme (in hour and minutes), and the lamp next to the “Start/ Pause” button flashes. The indication lamp of the predefined spin speed lights up.

CONSUMPTION DATA

Prewash cycle increases programme duration by aproximately 20 min. Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash. * To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out. ** Reference Programme for Energy Label. *** The remaining time indicator can deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the household conditions applicable at that time.

PREPARATION OF THE WASH CYCLE

“DOOR OPEN” INDICATION

Before starting and after end of a programme, the lamp lights to show the the lid can be opened. As long as a wash programme is running, the lid remains locked and must on no account be forced open. In case you have an urgent need to open it during a running programme, refer to “Cancel (Reset) a running programme before the end”.

RED INDICATIONS

“Service”

Lighting up of the “Service” indication can be caused by a fault in an electrical component. Refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” in your “Instructions for Use”; if the fault persists, contact our After Sales Service.

“Water tap closed”

The appliance has no or insufficient water supply. Open the water tap: if the indications still lights up, refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” in the Instructions for Use.

“Clean pump”

Waste water is not pumped out. Check whether the drain hose is kinked or the filter must be cleaned: in the latter case refer to the Instructions for Use (“Removing the Filter”).

“Easy ironing” button

• Can be used together with “Coton”, “Synthetics” and “Daily load” programmes to make ironing easier.

“Intensive rinse” button

• The amount of water is increased to ensure a more intensive rinse.

• This option is particularly suitable for areas with very soft water, washing baby linen and people with skin allergies.

“Rinse hold” button

• The laundry remains in the last rinse water without progressing to the final spin cycle to avoid creasing and prevent colours from changing.

• This option is particularly recommended for the “Synthetics”, “Daily load” and “Delicates” programmes.

The programme sequence indicator shows the current programme phase, running from left to right through Wash, Rinse, Spin/Drain. When the programme phrase is finised, the corresponding indication goes out.

• Note: If there is a power interruption or if the appliance is disconnected during the cycle, the programme will run again from the point where it was interrupted.

PROGRAMME END

CANCEL (RESET) A RUNNING PROGRAMME BEFORE THE END

The “Reset” button cancels a programme before the end. Press the “Reset” button for at least 3 seconds. Any existing water is drained out before the lid can be opened.

SELECT THE DESIRED OPTION(S)

Selecting or deselecting an option can be done at any time during the programme. The option will be applied as long as the corresponding programme phase has not been executed yet. “Eco” button

• With a modified temperature profile and a slightly prolonged washing duration, the optimum combination of excellent washing result and even lower energy consumption is achieved.

“Prewash” button

• Only for heavily soiled loads (for example sand, granular dirt) sensible. Increases the cycle time by approximately 20 min.

START DELAY

The “Start delay” button allows the user to run the machine at his convenience, for example at night when electricity is cheaper.

BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE

•

1.Remove the packaging and check

Cut and remove the shrink-wrap.

Remove the top protection and the protective

corners.

c. Remove the bottom protection by tilting

and turning the washing machine on one

rear bottom corner. Make sure that the

black plastic part of the bottom protection

(if available on the model) remains in the

packing and not in the machine bottom.

This is important, as otherwise the plastic part could

damage the washing machine during operation.

Open the lid by pressing it slightly down while

raising the handle. Remove the polystyrene

cushion (depending on model).

Remove the blue protective film from the panel

(depending on model).

•

After unpacking, make sure that the washing

machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the

washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or

your local retailer.

•

Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,

polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children;

they are potentially dangerous.

•

If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to

delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few

hours before operating.

2.Remove the transport bracket

•

The washing machine is fitted with transport

screws and a transport bracket to prevent

5.Drain hose

•

Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a sink with the “U” bend (see “Installation”/“Connect the water drain hose”).

•

If the washing machine is connected to a built-in drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).

6.Electrical connection

•

Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the current standard safety regulations.

•

The technical data (voltage, power and fuses) are given on the rating plate on the rear of the washing machine.

•

The washing machine must be connected exclusively by means of a socket with an earth connection in accordance with current regulations. The washing machine must be earthed by law. The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or animals or damage to property deriving directly or indirectly from failure to observe the directions.

•

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash program.

•

Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 95° C wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C wash programme.

•

Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a tumble dryer (for machines with adjustable spin speed).
