The machine automatically displays the maximum
temperature and spin speed values set for the selected

compatible with the selected cycle. The temperature
can be decreased by pressing the
the cold wash "OFF" setting is reached. The spin
speed may be progressively reduced by pressing

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
A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron "A1": suitable for clothes which will need ironing
afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,
making them easier to remove.
Hanger "A2": ideal for clothes which do not need to be
dried fully.
Cupboard "A3": suitable for laundry which can be put
back in a cupboard without being ironed.
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 210
minutes.
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

To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the
corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay
period has been reached. To remove the delayed start
setting, press the button until the text "OFF" appears on
the display.
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. For heavily-soiled garments press
button until the "Intensive" 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 "Délicate"
level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation
to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate
garments.
