WASH CYCLE TABLE

The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of detergent, load quantity, and type, load balancing, and any additional options selected. The values given for programs other than the Eco 40-60 program are indicative only.

1. Eco 40-60: Test wash cycle in compliance with EU Ecodesign regulation 2019/2014. The most efficient program in terms of energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
2. Long cotton cycle: set cycle 7 at a temperature of 40°C.
3. Long synthetics cycle: set cycle 8 at a temperature of 40°C.
4. Eco Cotton: Test wash cycles in compliance with regulations 1061/2010. Set 7 wash cycles at a temperature of 40°C or 60°C to access this cycle.

For all testing institutes:

• By selecting the 16 cycles and excluding the spin cycle, the washing machine will drain only.
• After the program ends and spins with the maximum selectable spin speed, in the default program setting.

Note: for the Eco 40-60 program in the WASH CYCLE TABLE the value of the maximum effective spin is shown.

DOOR LOCKED INDICATOR

When lit, the symbol indicates that the door is locked. To prevent any damage, wait until the symbol turns off before opening the door. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button ; if the symbol is off, the door can be opened.

FIRST-TIME USE

Once the appliance has been installed, and before it is used for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, by setting the “2” cycle.

DAILY USE

Prepare the laundry by following the suggestions appearing under the “TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS” section.

• Press the ON/OFF button ; the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly green.
• Open the door. Load the laundry while making sure not to exceed the maximum load quantity indicated in the Wash Cycle Table.
• Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in the “DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER” section.
• Close the door.
• Select the desired wash cycle.
• Set the washing temperature.
• Set the spin speed.
• Select the desired options.
• Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle; the relative indicator light will light up steady green and the door will lock ( symbol on).

OPTIONS

Extra Wash

Enable the Extra Wash option for very dirty items, where compatible. Press this option to let the cycle automatically re-adjust all wash parameters through a longer-lasting cycle. The option always leaves the temperature unchanged, while the spin cycle is automatically brought back to maximum levels. The user can set the spin cycle back to the desired value at any time.

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.

Energy Saver

The option washes cotton and synthetic items, saving energy and helping the environment. Energy saving is due to a cold wash cycle, while an enhanced mechanical action and optimized water use make it possible to reach the desired result. Recommended for slightly soiled garments. The use of liquid detergent is recommended.

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours. Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled. N.B. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching the set program.

Spin

Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed that is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

• Divide the laundry according to the Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibers, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand-washed). Color (separate colored garments from whites, wash new colored 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.
• Follow the dosage recommendation/additives: It optimizes the cleaning result, avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent. Use low temperatures and longer duration The most efficient programs in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
• Observe the load sizes: Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “Wash Cycle Table” table to save water and energy.
• Noise and remaining moisture content: They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine off and disconnect it from the main power. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).

• 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.
• Clean the detergent dispenser drawer: Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
• Care for the door and drum: Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.
• Clean the pump: The washing machine is fitted with an auto-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump.

Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber

1. remove the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the center and then pushing downwards on both sides to extract it;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;

TROUBLESHOOTING
