FUNCTIONS
- If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the
indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated.
- If the selected option is not compatible with another previously
selected option, the indicator light will flash accompanied by a buzzer,
and only the latter option will be activated; the indicator light
corresponding to the activated option will turn on.
Stain removal
This option allows for selecting the type of dirt so as to optimally adjust the
cycle for removing the stains. The following types of dirt can be selected:
Food: for stains caused by foodstuffs and beverages, for example.
-
Work: for grease and ink stains, for example.
-
Outdoor: for mud and grass stains, for example.
-
! The wash cycle duration varies according to the type of selected dirt.
Slow Spin
By selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.
Extra rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and
optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for
sensitive skin.
Temperature

Each wash cycle has a pre-defined temperature. To modify the

Bleaching
If you wish to bleach the laundry, load the washing machine and set the
programme
.
Start the machine and wait for it to complete the first water filling cycle
(roughly 2 minutes). Put the machine in pause mode by pressing the
"START/PAUSE" button
, open the detergent drawer and pour the
bleach (observe the recommended doses indicated on the package) into
the wash compartment where the partition was previously mounted.
Restart the cycle by pressing the "START/PAUSE" button
If desired, it is possible to add fabric softener into the appropriate
compartment of the detergent drawer.
Drying
Drying may be set as follows:
- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
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.
- Based on a set time period: between 40 and 180 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 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
Press button
to perform the drying-only cycle.
After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments),
press button
to exclude the washing phase and start the drying phase
at the maximum level for the selected cycle.
Push & Go
This function makes it possible to start an automatic wash and drying
cycle either when the machine is off without having to press the ON/OFF
button in advance, or after switching on the machine without having
activated any button and/or selector (otherwise the Push & Go function
will be deactivated). To start the Push & Go cycle press and hold the
button for 2 seconds. The indicator lights up to show that the cycle has
started. The wash and drying cycle is ideal for cotton or synthetic fabrics,
as it washes them at a temperature of 30° and a maximum spin speed of
1000 rpm. During the drying cycle the maximum temperature is 60°C. At
the end of the cycle the residual humidity will be the same as for the "
level. Max recommended load 3,5 kg. (Cycle duration 210').
How does it work?
1. Load the laundry (cotton and/or synthetic garments) and close the
door.
2. Pour the detergent and/or additives.
3. Start the cycle by pressing and holding the Push & Go button for 2
seconds. The relevant indicator light will turn green and the door will lock
(the DOOR LOCKED symbol is lit).
NB: starting the cycle through the Push & Go button activates an
automatic non-customisable wash and drying cycle recommended for
cotton and synthetic fabrics.
4. The automatic cycle can be used only for washing, excluding the drying
phase. Press the Push & Go button and then the drying button
drying icon of the "
" level will switch off. Maximum load for washing-
only is 4 kg (Cycle duration 45'). The cycle cannot be customised further.
To open the door while an automatic cycle is under way, press the START/
PAUSE button. If the DOOR LOCKED symbol is off, the door may be
opened only during the washing phase. Press the START/PAUSE button
again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.
5. Once the programme is finished, the END indicator light turns on.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and
the drum. Check all buttons.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine
off and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to
clean the washing machine.
Disconnect the water and power supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Clean the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned
using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
The washing machine has a "Auto-clean" cycle for its internal parts; it must
be run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the
quantity specified for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean
the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40
wash cycles.
.
To start the cycle press buttons
The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To
stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE
Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming.
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every
spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing
rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced
correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is
excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution
process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and
detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the filling hose
from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water
remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get
damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in
reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the
"Health & Safety and Installation Guides".
