How to run a wash cycle or a

drying cycle

1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off button

; the text POWER ON 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. The machine automatically

select the maximum temperature set for the selected

wash cycle; this values cannot therefore be increased. The

temperature can be decreased by pressing the

button,

until the cold wash “OFF” setting is reached. If this button

is 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.
Setting the drying cycle

.

The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the

DRYING button

once or several times. Two options are

available:

A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they

have been dried

:

Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards.

the remaining dampness softens creases, making them

easier to remove.

Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.

Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a

cupboard without being ironed.

Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried

completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.

B - Based on a set time period: between 20 and 180 minutes

.

To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until

the text OFF appears on the display

.

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater

than the maximum stated load, 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. 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 (

) in

accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or

time may also be set using the DRYING button

.

Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme

selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an

automatic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks

to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle

duration; the display will visualise the “Eco” dryness level.

Set the desired wash intensity.

Option

makes it possible to optimise washing based on the

level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.

Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically

set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average

level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool” cycle,

which is automatically set to “Delicate”).

For heavily-soiled garments press button

until the “Super

Wash” 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 button “

” until the “Delicate” level is reached.

The cycle will reduce the drum rotation to ensure washing results

are perfect for delicate garments. If the current selection can be

neither set nor changed, the display will show “Not allowed”.
Set the rinse type.

Option

makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for

sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra Rinse” level,

which makes it possible to select an additional rinse after the

standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press

the button again for the “Sensitive Skin” level, which makes

it possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle

rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. Press the button

for the third time for the “Anti allergy Rinse” level, which makes

it possible to select three additional rinses to the standard cycle

rinses and remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat

and dog hair. Press the button again to go back to the “Normal

Rinse” rinse type. If the current adjustment can be neither set nor

changed, the display will show “Not allowed”.
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 washer-dryer 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.
