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.

**Reference programme for energy label.

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. 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.

“Cold wash” button

•Water is heated only up to 20°C.

•Suitable for delicate laundry items with wash temperature recommendation of max. 30°C on the care label.

•Selectable only on the lowest temperature step

of each programme. “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 60’” 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 “Rinse hold” lamp of the programme sequence indicator lights up

and the lamp next to the “Start (Pause)” button flashes.

•If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the programme selector to the “Drain” programme and

press the “Start (Pause)” button.

“Variable spin” button

•Every programme has an automatically preset spin speed.

•Press the button to set another spin speed.

•If spin speed “0” is selected, the final spin is cancelled and the programme ends with a drain cycle.

START DELAY

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

•Select programme, spin speed and options.

•Press the “Start delay” button several times to select a delay time of 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 hours. The corresponding indicator lamp lights up.

•Start the programme (see “Programme Start”). The indication next to the “Start delay” button lights up and goes off when the programme starts.

•Once having pressed the “Start (Pause)” button, the countdown of the time delay begins. When the programme starts, the “Start delay” indicator light goes off and is replaced by the programme sequence indication.

•After the “Start (Pause)” button has been pressed, the number of hours preselected can be reduced by pressing again the “Start Delay” button.
