PROGRAMMES

For choosing the appropriate programme for your kind of
laundry, always respect the instructions on the care labels
of the laundry. The value given in the tub symbol is the
maximum temperature possible for washing the garment.

Mixed

For washing lightly to normally soiled resilient garments in cotton, linen,
synthetic bres and mixed bres.

White

For washing normally to heavily soiled towels, underwear, table and bed
linen, etc in resilient cotton and linen. Only when the temperature is
selected at 90°C the cycle is provided with a prewash phase before main
washing phase. In this case it is recommended to add detergent both, in
the prewash and main wash section.

Cotton

Normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons .

Eco Cotton

For washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 40°c and 60°C, this is the
standard cotton programme and the most ecient in terms of water and
energy consumption.

Sport

For washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.). For best
results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in
the ‚‘‘PROGRAMME CHART‘‘. We recommend using liquid detergent , and
adding the amount suitable for half-load.

Duvet

Designed for washing eiderdown padded items such as double or single
duvets, cushions and anoraks. It is recommended to load such padded
items in the drum with the edges folded inwards and not to exceed ¾ of
the drum’s volume. For optimal washing, we recommend using a liquid
detergent.

Jeans

Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent.

Spin & Drain

Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If you
exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only

Rinse & Spin

Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.

Rapid 30’

For washing lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle lasts only 30
minutes, saving time and energy.

Colours 15°

This cycle helps protect colours by washing in cold water (15°C) and uses
less energy to heat the water while still oering satisfactory wash results.
Suitable for lightly soiled, ustained garments. This cycle oers wash
results comparable to 40°c mixed at just 15°C

Wool

All wool garments can be washed using programme ‚“Wool“ even
those carryng the “hand-wash only “ label. For best results, use special
detergents and do not exceed max kg declaration of laundry.

Delicates

For washing particularly delicate garments. Preferably turn garments
inside out before washing.

Synthetics

For washing soiled garments made from synthetic bres (such as
polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or cotton/synthetic blends.

FIRST TIME USE

To remove any manufacturing debris select the “Cotton” programme
at a temperature of 60°C. Pour a small quantity of detergent powder into
the main wash 2 compartment of the detergent dispenser (maximum
1/3 of the quantity the detergent manufacturer recommends for lightly
soiled laundry). Start the programme without adding any laundry.

AND TIPS” section. Load the laundry, close the door, open the water
tap and press the “ON/OFF” button to switch the washing machine
on, the “Start/Pause” button ashes. Turn the programme selector
to the desired programme and select any option if needed. The
temperature and spin speed can be changed by pressing the “Temp.”
button or the “Spin Speed” button. Pull out the detergent dispenser and
add the detergent (and additives/softener) now. Observe the dosing
recommendations on the detergent pack. Then close the detergent
dispenser and press the “Start/Pause” button. The “Start/Pause”
button will lights up and the door will be locked.

OPEN THE DOOR, IF REQUIRED

After starting a programme, the “Door locked” indicator lights up to
show that the door can not be opened. As long as a wash programme is
running, the door remains locked. To open the door while a programme
is in progress, press the “Start/Pause” to pause the programme.
Provided the water level and/or temperature is/are not too high, the
“Door locked” indicator light goes o and you can open the door.
For example to add or remove laundry. Press the “Start/Pause” button
again to continue the programme.

the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the
corresponding indicator light will ash.
! If the selected option is incompatible with another previously set
option, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Clean+

Clean+ is an option working on 3 dierent levels (Intensive, Daily
and Fast) that are specially designed to set the right washing action,
depending on your cleaning needs:

Intensive : this option is designed for high levels of dirtiness,
removing most stubborn stains.

Daily : this option is designed to remove everyday stains.
Fast : this option is designed to remove lightly soiled stains.

Intensive rinse

By selecting this option, the eciency of the rinse is increased and
optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for
sensitive skin. Press the button once, two or three times to select an
additional 1 +1 , 2 +2 or 3 +3 rinses after the standard cycle rinse and
remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again to go back to the
“Normal rinse” rinse type.

Start delay

To set the selected programme to start at a later time, press the button
to set the desired delay time. Symbol lights on the display when this
fuction is enabled. To cancel the delayed start, press the button again
until the value ‚‘‘0‘‘ is shown on the display.

FreshCare+

This option enhances washing performance by generating steam
to inhibit the proliferation of the main bad odour sources inside the
machine. After steam phase, the washing machine will perform gentle
tumbling through slow rotations of the drum. FreshCare+ option starts
after the cycle ends for a maximum duration of 6h and you can interrupt
at any time by pressing any button on control panel or turning the knob.
(*) Wait around 5’ before open the door.
