Prewash cycle increases programme duration approximately 15 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.

The data on the “Energy Label” refer to the programme “Cotton 60°C”.

*The remaining time indicator can similarly deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the household conditions applicable at that time.

**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 WASH CYCLE

1.Close the drum flaps and check that they are properly locked.

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

• Programme with pre and main wash

• Main wash programme without prewash

• Fabric softeners and conditioners

• Chlorine bleach

• Stain remover agents

• Anti-scale agents (if necessary)

3.Turn the programme selector knob clockwise to the desired programme.

4.Turn the temperature knob to the required temperature.

PRESS ANY DESIRED OPTION BUTTON(S)

“Eco Wash” button

•The wash time is extended and the water temperature is reduced.

•This function saves about 30% in energy without compromising the excellent results of the wash.

“Half Load” button

•Reduces the water consumption in the “Cotton” and “Synthetics” programmes especially during the rinse.

•Especially suitable for lightly soiled or small loads (reduces the quantity of detergents).

•Not suitable for high temperature programmes.

“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 fading.

•This option is particularly recommended for the “Synthetic” or “Delicate” programmes.

•This function is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later time, or if you want

to drain only.

Note: The programme selector knob stops on .

NOTES AND INDICATIONS FOR USE

•After switching your washing machine on, it does not start immediately: it needs some second in order to lock the door, fill water and then drum starts turning.

•Spinning has an interrupted start-up: the drum starts and stops running several times, to improve spin efficiency and to better balance the laundry.

•At the end of the spinning cycle the drum goes on reversing for some minutes: this helps you unloading the laundry.

•Do not exceed in detergents dosage: excessive foam formation may prevent spinning.
