Prewash cycle increases programme duration approximately 15 min. Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with Standard IEC 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.

ADD DETERGENTS, CLOSE THE DOOR AND SELECT THE

PROGRAMME

Add the detergents as described in the programme table or in the chapter “Detergents and Additives” in the booklet.

1. Open the tap.

2. Set the programme selector to the desired programme.

3. Set the temperature selector to the desired temperature.

Special options can be selected.

5. Check that the door is well closed and turn on the washing machine by pressing the “ON/OFF” button. The indicator lights up, indicating that the washing machine is on.

SELECT ANY DESIDERED OPTION

“Spin Speed Reduction” button

• Reduces the predetermined automatic maximum spin speed.

In some programmes the maximum final spin speed is limited to go easy on your laundry items.

Selection of a higher spin speed is not possible.

“Eco Wash” button

• The duration of the wash is extended and the temperature reduced to save energy maintaining good washing results.

“Rapid Wash” button

• For quick, economical washes.

• Ideal for minimum loads of lightly-soiled articles.

Note: reduce the detergent quantity.

“Intensive Rinse” button

• More water and a longer time in rinse cycle is added.

• This option is particularly suitable for areas with very soft water, washing baby linen and helps people with 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 programme “Synthetics” or “Delicates”.

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

Terminate the “Rinse Hold” option:

• Press the “Rinse Hold” button again; 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.

PROGRAMME CHANGE

To reselect a programme when a cycle has already begun:

1. Switch off the appliance by pressing the “ ON/

OFF ” button.

2. Select the new programme.

3. Start the programme by pressing the “ ON/OFF ” button.

PROGRAMME END

1. At the end of the programme the programme selector moves to the stop position.

2. To unload the machine wait for the door to unlock (about 1 minute).

3. Switch off the appliance, open the door and take out the laundry.

4. Close the tap and leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry out.

NOTES AND INDICATIONS FOR USE

• WATER LEVEL

It may not be visible as the cycle is optimised for a minimum water consumption without compromising washing results.

• SPIN SPEED CONTROL

Spin speed may be reduced automatically or may even be excluded in the case of small loads with highly absorbent garments (e.g. bathrobes, bathmat).

This control avoids cloth and machine damage and excessive vibrations and consequent noise produced by the machine due to load unbalance: by selecting high spin speeds the noise level increases.

• MOTOR NOISE

The running noises of the new, electronicallycontrolled motor are not the same as the ones you are used to from your old appliance. Don’t be surprised - modern technology has a modern sound.

• CLEANING THE FILTER

To ensure an impeccable function of the pump, check the filter regular and clean it if necessary.

Which settings and buttons should be used for a short wash cycle?

For a short wash, select the 'Cotton short' or 'Synthetics short' programmes, or press the 'Rapid Wash' button. Programme selector numbers 6 (Wool, 40 min) or 9 (Handwash, 55 min) also provide the shortest available cycle durations.
