For wash programmes with temperatures above 50°C, we recommend using powder detergent rather than liquid, and following the directions given on the detergent package.

This data may differ in your home due to changing conditions in inlet water temperature, water pressure etc. Approximate programme duration values refer to the default setting of the programmes, without options. The values given for programmes other than the Eco 40-60 programme are indicative only.

FIRST-TIME USE

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the wash cycle (60°).

DAILY USE

Prepare the laundry by following the suggestions appearing under the “TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS” section.

- Press the ON/OFF button ; the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly.

-Open the door. Load the laundry while making sure not to exceed the maximum load quantity indicated in the Wash Cycle Table.

-Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER” section.

-Close the door.

-Use the WASH CYCLE selector knob to select the desired wash cycle: it will be associated with a specific temperature and spin speed that can be modified. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

-The machine automatically displays the default temperature and spin speed values for the selected cycle, or the most recently used settings if

they are compatible with the selected cycle.

-Select the drying cycle if desired.

-Select the desired options.

- Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle; the relative indicator light will light up steady and the door will lock (symbol off).

PAUSING A CYCLE

To pause the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button again; the indicator light will flash. If the symbol is lit, the door may be opened. To start the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.

OPENING THE DOOR, IF NECESSARY

Once a cycle starts, the symbol turns off to signal that the door cannot be opened. While a wash cycle is running, the door remains locked. To open the door while a cycle is under way, for example, to add or remove garments, press the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle; the indicator light will flash. If the symbol is lit, the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to continue the cycle.

CHANGING A RUNNING WASH CYCLE

To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine

using the START/PAUSE	button (the relative indicator light will flash), then
select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE		button again.

! To cancel a cycle that has already begun, press and hold the ON/OFF button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off.

END OF THE CYCLE

This will be indicated by the word “END” on the display; when the symbol switches on, the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine. If you do not press “ON/OFF” button, the washing machine will switch off automatically after about a 10 minutes. Close the water tap, open the door and unload the washing machine. Leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry.

OPTIONS

!If the selected option is incompatible with the programme set, the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer and the corresponding indicator light will flash.

!If the selected option is incompatible with another previously set option, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Freshcare+

If associated with wash cycles, this option increases their performances by generating steam to block proliferation of the main sources of unpleasant odours inside the appliance (exclusively for the wash). After the steam phase, the machine runs a delicate cycle with slow drum rotations. When the Freshcare+ option is associated with drying cycles, it prevents stubborn creases from stabilising on garments, thanks to slow drum rotations.

The FreshCare+ cycle starts at the end of the wash or drying cycle and continues for maximum 6 hours; it can be interrupted at any time by pressing any button on the control panel, or by turning the knob. Wait roughly 5 minutes before opening the door.

Start Delay

To set the selected programme to start at a later time, press the button to

set the desired delay time. The h. symbol lights on the display when this function is enabled. To cancel the delayed start, press the button again

until the value “0” is shown on the display.

Temperature

Each wash cycle has a pre-defined temperature. To modify the temperature, press the “Temp.” button. The value will appear on the

display.

Spin

Each wash cycle has a pre-defined spin speed. To modify the spin speed, press the “Spin speed” button. The value will appear on the display.

Setting the drying cycle

The first time the button “Drying settings” is pressed, the machine will automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”). Drying may be set as follows:

A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:

Cupboard : suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.

Hanger : ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove. B - Based on a set time period: between 210 and 30 minutes.

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table of wash cycles), perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back in the drum.

At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load. Note: a cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
