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.

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.
“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.

“No spin” button

• Especially for delicate garments to avoid wear and

tear caused by the spin.
Note: with the “Cotton” and “Synthetics”
programmes, a short spin cycle is provided in any
case, even if the “No spin” option has been selected,
in order to optimize rinsing results.

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”

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”).

PROGRAMME END

are off, and the “Door open” indication lights up.

1. Turn the programme selector to the “Off/O”
position.
