How to run a wash cycle or a
drying cycle
1 . SWITCH THE MACHINE ON.Press the
button; the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash
slowly in a green colour.
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door.
Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed
the maximum load value indicated in the table of
programmes on the following page.
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent
into the relevant compartments as described in
"Detergents and laundry".
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.
5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Set the WASH
CYCLE knob to the desired programme; a
temperature and spin speed is set for each wash
cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the
cycle will appear on the display.
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the
relevant buttons:
Modifying the temperature and/or spin
speed. The machine automatically displays the
maximum temperature and spin speed values set
for the selected cycle, or the most recently-used
settings if they are compatible with the selected
cycle. The temperature can be decreased by
pressing the button, until the cold wash "OFF"
setting is reached. The spin speed may be
progressively reduced by pressing the button,
until it is completely excluded (the "OFF" setting). If
these buttons are pressed again, the maximum
values are restored.
Setting the drying cycle
The first time the button is pressed, the machine
will automatically select the maximum drying cycle
which is compatible with the selected wash cycle.
Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level
and then the drying time, until the cycle is excluded
completely ("OFF").
Drying may be set as follows:
A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron dry: suitable for clothes which will need
ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens
creases, making them easier to remove; "A1"
appears on the display.
Hanger dry: ideal for clothes which do not need to
be dried fully; "A2" appears on the display.
Cupboard dry: suitable for laundry which can be
put back in a cupboard without being ironed; "A3"
appears on the display.
Extra dry: suitable for garments which need to be
dried completely, such as sponges and bathrobes
"A4"; appears on the display.
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and
180 minutes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is
much greater than the maximum stated load (see
adjacent table), perform the wash cycle, and when
the cycle is complete, divide the garments into
groups and put some of them back in the drum. At
this point, follow the instructions provided for a
"Drying only" cycle. Repeat this procedure for the
remainder of the load.
N.B: a cooling-down period is always added to the
end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle
(11-12-13) in accordance with the type of fabric.
The desired drying level or time may also be set
using the DRYING button .

indicator light corresponding to the button will
switch on.
• Press the button again to disable the option; the
indicator light will switch off.
If the selected option is not compatible with the
programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will
flash and the option will not be activated.
If the selected option is not compatible with
another option which has been selected previously,
the indicator light corresponding to the first option
