The programme time will automatically increase by a few minutes.
5. Press button 7 to start the programme.
After the programme has started, the time remaining is updated every minute.
Note!
The different type of cottons (towelling, sheets, shirts, and so on) or any laundry
items rolling up during the spinning phase may result in partial dryness. In the ex-
ceptional case that at the end of the cycle the laundry remains slightly wet, we sug-
gest that you unfold the rolled up items, redistribute them evenly in the drum and
select an additional drying cycle of 20-30 minutes.
6. At the end of the drying programme, the buzzer sounds. A blinking « 0 » appears on
the display. At this point, begins an anti-crease phase which lasts for about 10 mi-
nutes. During this time the ANTI-CREASE symbol appears on the display. The DOOR
symbol remains lit. The door cannot be opened.
If you need to open the door before or during the anti-crease phase or to interrupt it,
press any button or turn the programme selector dial to any programme position (except
O ), the door can be opened immediately or after a few minutes depending on the mod-
el. (In any case do not try to open the door if it is locked!) .
7. Turn the selector dial to the O position to switch the machine off.
8. Remove the laundry.
Automatic washing and drying (NON-STOP programme)

synthetic.
It is possible to dry up to 5 kg of cotton items by pressing the Drying Time button
only
(see the «Drying Programme » table).
CAUTION!
Do not use a dosing device/ball when carrying out a washing and drying pro-
gramme.
1. Load the laundry.

3. Switch the machine on by turning the selector dial to the selected washing pro-
gramme/fabric.
4. Select the required options by pressing the relevant buttons.
If possible, do not select a spin speed lower than that proposed by the appliance to avoid
too long a drying time therefore saving energy.
In any case the reduction of the spin speed is only possible after selecting drying.
The lowest values you can select are the following:
– 900 r.p.m. for cottons and synthetic with electronic drying;
– 900 r.p.m. for cottons and 700 r.p.m. for fabrics with timed drying.

cle.
