Signals for successive refilling:
Once, at the end of a cycle, the level of detergent/fabric
softener falls below the level required for a successive
wash cycle, the display will visualise the relative
messages "At end of cycle refill detergent" or "At end
of cycle refill softener" or "At end of cycle refill
tanks". If the tanks are not filled, the successive wash
cycles in Auto Dose System will be carried out without
any intake of detergent.
 We suggest adding detergent and fabric softener ONLY
after the machine's signal.
 NEVER mix two different detergents; always clean out
the tank before adding a new type of detergent (refer to
"Cleaning cycle set by the user").
Using the "Auto Dose System"
If the compartments have been filled with detergent and
fabric softener, you may start using the machine (refer to
"Running a wash cycle").
Powder detergents for pre-washing and powder
additives may only be used in the traditional mode or
using the "Auto Dose System", by placing the additives
directly inside the drum, preferably in conjunction with
the "laundry ball".
Whenever bleaching is required, pour the bleach in the
relative compartment (refer to the option "Super Wash").
Modifying pre-set parameters:
The machine automatically intakes detergent on the
basis of the selected programme, wash load and water
hardness. However, the amount of detergent/fabric
softener used may be modified.
button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude
detergent intake.
button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude
fabric softener intake.
The level of detergent/fabric softener suggested by the
machine is indicated by 3 bars.
Less than 3 bars indicates a lower level of detergent/
fabric softener compared to that suggested by the
machine, while more than 3 bars indicates a higher level
of detergent/fabric softener.
Cleaning the tanks:
Tank cleaning cycles can either be automatic or pre-set
by the user.
Automatic cleaning:
The washing machine carries out an automatic cleaning
cycle during the rinse cycle if the level of detergent that
remains is insufficient for carrying out a
successive wash cycle.
Cleaning cycle set by the user:
Run the cleaning cycle (with empty drum) if you require
adding a different product to the previous one or if the
tanks have been incorrectly filled (e.g. fabric softener has
been erroneously poured into the detergent tank or vice-
versa). Press button and hold for 5 sec. to activate
cleaning of the detergent tank, button
the fabric softener tank or button
tanks. Keep pressing for a further 3 sec. (the countdown
"4-3-2-1" will appear in the top right corner) until
"CLEAN-GO" pops up.
The cleaning cycle lasts about 40' if the tanks are initially
empty; if not, the cycle will last longer. The icons
indicating that the tanks are empty will appear on the
display.
"Traditional" mode
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first
stop point (see picture) then pour the amount of
detergent and other additives (e.g. bleach) required for a
single wash cycle directly into the dispenser.
