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.

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. The indication lamp of the predefined spin speed lights up.

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

“Clean+” button

•Choose this option if you use an in-wash additive for stain removal (powder, for example “Vanish”) - it will optimize the additive’s efficiency to get better wash performance and stain removal.

•Selectable for programmes “Cotton” and “Synthetics”; choose temperature of 30 or 40°C and use with maximum load.

•Add an appropriate amount of in-wash additive for stain removal (powder) to the main wash chamber, together with your detergent (only use powder detergent with this option). Respect the manufacturer’s dosing instructions.

•Prolongs the programme by approx. 10 to 15 minutes.

•Appropriate for use of stain removers and bleaches on oxygen basis. Chlorine or perborate bleaches must not be used!

“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.

•It is useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later time, or if you want to drain out 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 sequence indicator lights up and the lamp next to the “Start/Pause” button flashes.

Terminate the “Rinse hold” option:

•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 knob to the “Drain” programme and press the “Start/Pause” button.

“Variable spin” button

•Every programme has a predefined spin speed.

•Press the button to set another spin speed.

•If spin speed “0” is selected, the final spinning is cancelled but intermediate spin peaks remain during the rinse. The water is drained out only.

START DELAY

The “Start delay” allows to 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 “Progremme 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.

To cancel the “Start delay”

..before you press the “Start/Pause” button:

•Turn the programme selector to another position or press the “Reset” button.

..after having pressed the “Start/Pause” button:

•Press the “Reset” button for at least 3 second. The start delay indicator light goes off.

PROGRAMME START

Open the tap and press the “Start/Pause” button. The indication lamp next to the “Start/Pause” button lights up. 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.

“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”
