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 40-60
For washing normally soiled cotton garments declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle. 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.
Steam Refresh
This programme refreshes garments by removing bad odours and relaxing the bres (2 kg, roughly 3 items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and select programme “Steam Refresh”. Garments will be a little damp at the end of the cycle and can be worn after a few minutes. The “Steam Refresh” programme makes ironing easier.
! Not recommended for wool or silk garments. ! Do not add softeners or detergents.
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 Min
For washing lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle lasts only 30 minutes, saving time and energy.
20°C
For washing lightly soiled cotton garments, at a temperature of 20 °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.
Eco Cotton
For washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and 60°C.
FIRST TIME USE
To remove any manufacturing debris select the “Cotton” programme at a temperature of 60°C.

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.

Empty all pockets
Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the drum. Follow the dosage recommendation / additives It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent Use low temperature and longer duration The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration. Observe the load sizes Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy. Noise and remaining moisture content They are inuenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
EN
lter: remove residues in the lter and clean it under running water. Insert the water lter and reinstall the plinth: Reinsert the water lter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the lter handle must be in vertical position. To test water tightness of the water lter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser. Then reinstall the plinth.
ACCESSORIES
Contact our After-Sales Service to check if the following accessories are available for your washing machine model.
Stacking kit shelf
By which your dryer can be xed on top of your washing machine to save space and to facilitate loading and unloading your dryer in the higher position.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Never lift the washing machine by holding it at the worktop.
Pull out the mains plug, and close the water tap. Make sure that door and detergent dispenser are properly closed. Disconnect the inlet hose from the water tap, and remove the drain hose from your draining point. Remove all rest water from the hoses, and x them so that they cannot get damaged during transport. Ret the transport bolts. Follow the instructions for removing the transport bolts in the INSTALATION GUIDE in reverse order.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For any cleaning and maintenance, switch o and unplug the washing machine. Do not use ammable uids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Cleaning the outside of the washing machine
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine. Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the printing.
Checking the water supply hose
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type: If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced
Cleaning the water lter / draining residual water
If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water lter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the lter. If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water lter may be clogged.
Remove the plinth by using the screwdriver: push downwards one side of the plinth with your hand, then push the screwdriver into the gap between plinth and front panel and pry open the plinth. Place a broad, at container beneath the water lter, to collect the drain water. Slowly turn the lter counterclockwise until water ows out. Let the water ow out, without removing the lter. When the container is full, close the water lter by turning it in clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat this procedure until all the water has drained. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water lter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove the water lter by turning it out anti clockwise. Clean the water

TROUBLESHOOTING
The washing machine may sometimes not work properly for certain reasons. Before calling the After-sales service, it is recommended to check to see if the problem can be easily resolved using the following list.
Anomalies: Possible causes / Solution:
• The plug is not inserted into the electrical outlet, or not enough to make contact.
The washing machine does not turn on.
The wash cycle does not start.
• There has been a power failure.
• The door is not fully closed.
• The “ON/OFF” button has not been pressed.
• The “Start/Pause” button has not been pressed.
• The water tap is not open.
• A “Start Delay” has been set.
The washing machine does not ll with water (the message “h2o” is shown on the display). “Beep” sound every 5 seconds.
The washing machine loads and drains water continuously.
The washing machine does not drain or does not spin.
The washing machine vibrates excessively during the spin cycle.
The washing machine leaks water.
The machine is locked and the display ashes, indicating an error code (e.g. F-01, F-..).
• The water intake hose is not connected to the tap.
