For all testing institutes:
2) Long cotton cycle: set cycle 7 at a temperature of 40°C.
3) Long synthetics cycle: set cycle 8 at a temperature of 40°C.
The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on
standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as
the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of
detergent, load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional options selected.
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010:
This cycle is designed for normally soiled cotton loads and is the most efficient in terms of
both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments washable at 60°C
or at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
* By selecting the cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washing machine will drain only.
** The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display.

care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum
recommended temperature for washing the garment.
Anti Stain 100
This cycle is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours.
It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A
class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of different
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment
with special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains
Anti Stain Quick
This cycle is ideal for washing daily stains in 45’. It is ideal for mixed
fabrics and coloured garments.
White
For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.
Bed Linen
For washing home linen in a single cycle. It optimises the use of fabric
softener and allows for saving time and electricity. We recommend the
use of powder detergent.
Eco Cotton
Suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and
60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the
most efficient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.
Mixed
To wash mixed and coloured items together.
Cotton
Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of
resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.
Synthetics
Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic
fibres (e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed syntheticcotton fibres.
Coloureds
For washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised
to keep colours bright even after repeated washing.
Fast 30 min
For washing lightly soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for
wool, silk and garments to be washed by hand.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
The Wool wash cycle of this machine has been
approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing
of wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided
that the products are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued by
the manufacturer of this washing machine (M1126). The
Woolmark logo is a Certification mark in many countries.
Dark
For washing dark-coloured garments. The wash cycle is designed to
preserve dark colours over time.
We recommend using a liquid detergent for best results, preferably
when washing dark-coloured garments.
Ultradelicates
For washing very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments
inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent
on delicate garments.
Duvet
Suitable for washing clothing padded with goose down, such as single
duvets (weighing under 2 kg), cushions or down jackets. Duvets should
be loaded into the drum with their edges folded inwards and no more
than ¾ of the total drum volume should be used up. For best results, it
is advisable to use liquid detergent to be poured into the detergent
drawer.
Rinse + Spin
Designed for rinsing and spinning.
Spin + Drain
Designed for spinning and draining the water.
Prepare your laundry according to the recommendations in the “HINTS
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 flashes. 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.
FIRST TIME USE
To remove any manufacturing debris select the 3 programme at a
temperature of 90°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.
PAUSE A RUNNING PROGRAMME
To pause the wash cycle, press the “Start/Pause” ; the indicator light
will go off and the remaining time on display flash. To start the wash cycle
from the point at which it was interrupted press the button again.
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 off and you can open the door.
For example to add or remove laundry. Press the “Start/Pause”
button
again to continue the programme.
PROGRAMME END
The “Door locked”
indicator light goes off and the display shows
“End”. To switch off the washing machine after programme ends press the
“ON/OFF” button, the lights goes off. If you do not press “ON/OFF”
button, the washing machine will switch off automatically after about
a half of an hour. 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 (3 beeps) 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.
Energy saver
This option saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your
laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy
bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure
great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid
detergent.
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.
Multi Rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency 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
,2
or 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.
Cleaning Action
Option “Cleaning Action” makes it possible to optimise washing based
on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.
For heavily-soiled garments press “Cleaning Action” button until the
“
” level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due
to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and
due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most
stubborn stains. For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment
of the fabrics, press “Cleaning Action” button until the “
” level is
reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results
that are perfect for delicate garments.
Temperature
Every programme has a predefined temperature. If you want to change
the temperature, press the “Temp.” button. The value appears on the
display.
Spin Speed
Every programme has a predefined spin speed. If you want to change
the spin speed, press the “Spin Speed” button. The value appears on the
display.
Quick guide
KEY LOCK
To lock the control panel, press and hold the “Energy saver” button for
approximately 3 seconds. The symbol
will light up on the display
to indicate that the control panel has been locked (with the exception
of the “ON/OFF“
button). This prevents unintentional changes to
programmes, especially with children near the machine. To unlock the
control panel, press and hold the “Energy saver” button for approximately
3 seconds .
HINTS AND TIPS
Sort your laundry according to
Type of fabric/care label (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, handwash
items). Colour (separate coloured and white items, wash new coloured
items separately). Delicates (wash small items – like nylon stockings – and
items with hooks – like bras – in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip).
Empty all pockets
Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the drum.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing
machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.
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 intensifies locally. If
yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced
Cleaning the mesh filters in the water supply hose
Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap. Clean the internal
mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. Now
unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine. Pull off the
mesh filter from the washing machine connection with universal pliers
and clean it. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. Turn
on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely water-tight.
Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water
If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down
before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly, to avoid that the
water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter. If the water
cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be clogged.
Place a broad, flat container beneath the water filter, to collect the drain
water. Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise until water flows out. Let
the water flow out, without removing the filter. When the container is
full, close the water filter by turning it in clockwise. Empty the container.
Repeat this procedure until all the water has drained. Lay a cotton cloth
beneath the water filter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water.
Then remove the water filter by turning it out anti clockwise. Clean the
water filter: remove residues in the filter and clean it under running water. Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction.
Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the filter handle must be in vertical
position. To test water tightness of the water filter, you can pour about 1
liter of water into the detergent dispenser.
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 fix them so that they cannot
get damaged during transport. Refit the transport bolts. Follow the
instructions for removing the transport bolts in the Installation Guide in
reverse order.
