To switch on the machine and select programmes, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the programme knob in either direction. The machine switches on and the "Start" programme phase
LED lights up.
2. Select the washing temperature, within the sectors marked on the front panel by the following words:
Cottons, coloureds
Woollens
Synthetics, delicates
Attention!
The following partial washing programmes can be set using the programmes knob:
-Rinse with additive
-Drain and spin
-Fabric softener
These partial programmes are inside the Cotton, Synthetics and Wool sectors, except for the drain and spin
programme (Drain
If the indicated temperature shows 0°, this means that the programme performs a cold wash cycle. The same
cold wash is also performed by the Hand wash programme in the Wool sector.
The fabric treatment labels show which washing temperature must be set.
If various garments in the same load require different washing temperatures, choose the lowest
washing temperature of all.
If the laundry is only slightly dirty and does not need the bleaching effect of high temperatures, a lower
temperature can be chosen to save power. In spite of the low temperature and consequent saving of
electricity, an automatic time control keeps the duration of the main washing unvaried compared with that of a
high temperature programme. It is therefore possible to successfully wash normally dirty laundry at lower
washing temperatures than the maximum temperatures shown on the fabric care labels.
5.10 SPEED SELECTION
The models described in this instructions manual may either feature fixed or variable spin speeds. Models with
fixed spin speeds cannot be adjusted but can disable the spin cycle (
Other models are fitted with a button for selecting spin speed (see chapter 4 – Description of controls) which
allows one of three speed levels to be selected.
Press the button identified with the letter "H" in chapter 4 – Description of controls, the 3 LED's located over the
button light up in sequence to indicate (from top to bottom):
maximum spin speed
intermediate spin speed

"Drain " and press the "Start/Pause" button. The water is automatically drained on all programmes
without spinning. If you wish to drain the water in the tub and then spin, turn the knob to "Drain
select one of the two available speeds (maximum or intermediate) with the select button and press the
"Start-Pause" button. These methods are also valid for fixed speed machines featuring the spin disable
option.
With programmes in the Cottons/Coloureds sector, fabrics can be spun up to the maximum speed envisaged for
the model. For Synthetics/Delicates and Woollens, spin speed cannot exceed 900 rpm.
