Running a wash cycle
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off
button ; the text HELLO will appear on the
display and 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. Open 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. Press one of the
WASH CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the
required wash cycle; the name of the wash cycle
will appear on the display. 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 selects
the maximum temperature and spin speed set
for the selected wash cycle; these values cannot
therefore be increased. 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 a delayed start.
To set a delayed start for the selected
programme, press the corresponding button
repeatedly until the required delay period has
been reached. When this option is enabled, the
symbol lights up on the display. To remove the
delayed start function press the button until the
text "OFF" appears on the display.
Modifying the cycle settings.
• Press the button to enable the function; the
indicator light corresponding to the button will
switch on.
• Press the button again to disable the function;
the indicator light will switch off.
If the selected function is not compatible with
the programmed wash cycle, the indicator light
will flash and the function will not be activated.
If the selected function is not compatible with
another function which has been selected
previously, the indicator light corresponding to
the first function selected will flash and only the
second function will be activated; the indicator
light corresponding to the enabled function will
remain lit.
The functions may affect the recommended load
value and/or the duration of the cycle.
7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/
PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light
will become green, remaining lit in a fixed manner,
and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED
symbol will be on). During the wash cycle, the
name of the phase in progress will appear on the
display. To change a wash cycle while it is in
progress, pause the washing machine using the
START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator
light will flash slowly in an orange colour); then
select the desired cycle and press the START/
PAUSE button again.
To open the door while a cycle is in progress,
press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR
LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may
be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again
to restart the wash cycle from the point at
which it was interrupted.
8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be
indicated by the text "END OF CYCLE" on the
display; when the DOOR LOCKED symbol
switches off the door may be opened. Open the
door, unload the laundry and switch off the
machine.
If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already
begun, press and hold the button. The cycle will
be stopped and the machine will switch off.
