Prewash cycle increases programme duration by approximately 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, load and 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.

PREPARATION OF THE WASH CYCLE
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 lamp next to
the
“Start/Pause”
button flashes.
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.
“Prewash” button
• Only sensible for heavily soiled loads (for
example sand, granular dirt). The cycle time
increases by approximately 20 min.
“Half load” button
• Reduces water consumption, above all during
rinsing.
• Suitable for lightly soiled laundry and small loads
(max. 3 kg for cotton, max. 1 kg for synthetics).
“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”, “Delicates” and “Daily load”
programmes.
• It is useful if you want to postpone spinning to a
later time, or if you want to drain only.
• If you select “Rinse hold”, do not leave items to
soak for too long.
• As soon as the appliance stops in the rinse hold,
the “Anticrease” lamp of the programme
sequence indicator lights up and the lamp next to
the
“Start/Pause”
button flashes.

•Press the
“Start/Pause”
button ; the
programme will terminate automatically with the
final spin cycle for the present wash programme.
• If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the
programme selector to the “Drain” programme
and press the
“Start/Pause”
button .
“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
for people with skin allergies.
PROGRAMME START
Turn on the tap and press the
“Start/Pause”
button . The lamp next to the
“Start/Pause”
button lights up. The programme sequence
indicator shows the current programme phase,

Spin/Drain. When the programme phase is
finished, the corresponding indication goes off.

appliance is disconnected during the cycle, the
programme will run again from the point
where it was interrupted.
“DOOR OPEN” INDICATION
Before starting and after end of a programme, the
lamp lights to show that 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”.
