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

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 time display shows
the duration of the chosen programme (in hours
and minutes), and the lamp next to the “Start/Pause”
button flashes. The indication lamp of the predefined
spin speed lights up.

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.
“Half load” button

• Reduces water consumption, above all during rinsing.

• Suitable for lightly soiled laundry and small loads

(max. 3 kg).

“Eco” button

• With a modified temperature profile and a slightly

prologned washing duration, the optimum
combination of excellent washing result and even
lower energy consumption is achieved.

• Selectable for programmes Cotton 95°C and
Synthetics 60°C only.

“Prewash” button

• Only for heavily soiled loads (for example sand,

granular dirt) sensible. Increases the cycle time by
approximately 20 min.

“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.

“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 changing.

• This option is particularly recommended for the
“Synthetics”, “Daily load” and “Delicates”
programmes.

• It is useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later
time, or if you want to drain only.

• If you select “Rinse Hold”, do not leave items to soak
for too long.

• As soon as the appliance stops in the rinse hold, the
“Anticrease” lamp of the sequence indicator lights up
and the lamp next to the “Start/Pause” button
flashes.

Terminate the “Rinse hold” option:

• Press the “Start/Pause” button; the programme

will terminate automatically with the final spin cycle
for the present wash programme.

• If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the
programme selector knob to the “Drain”
programme and press the “Start/Pause” button.

“Variable spin” button

• Every programme has a predefined spin speed.

• Press the button to set another spin speed.

• If spin speed “0” is selected, the final spinning is

cancelled but intermediate spin peaks remain during
the rinse. The water is drained out only.

START DELAY

The “Start delay” allows the user to run the machine at
his convenience, for example at night when electricity is
cheaper.

• Select programme, spin speed and options.

• Press the “Start Delay” button several times to

select a delay time by 1 to 23 hours.

• Start the programme (see “Progremme Start”).
The indication lamp over the “Start delay” button
lights up and goes off when the programme starts.

• Once having pressed the “Start/Pause” button,
the countdown of the time delay begins. The time
delay indication on the display disappears when
the programme starts and is replaced by the
remaining programme time.

• After the “Start/Pause” button has been pressed,
the number of hours preselected can be reduced by
pressing again the “Start delay” button.

To cancel the “Start delay”
..before you press the “Start/Pause” button:

• Turn the programme selector to another position
or press the “Reset” button.
..after having pressed the “Start/Pause” button:

• Press the “Reset” button for at least 3 second. The

start delay indicator light goes off.

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

the water tap: if the indications still lights up, refer to the
