If you do not press the ON/OFF button, the washing machine will switch off automatically after about 10 minutes.

OPTIONS

• If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash and the function will not be activated.
• If the selected function is not compatible with another function that has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second function will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the enabled option will remain lit.

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.

Temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature that is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle.

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.
• Use low temperature 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;
3. Clean the inside thoroughly;
4. Screw the cover back on;
5.  Put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance.

Check the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open. Never use hoses that have already been used.

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 that 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.

ACCESSORIES

Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washing machine model.
Stacking kit
With this accessory, you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washing machine to save space and facilitate the loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.

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 is 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”.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The washing machine may occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service, make sure that the problem cannot be easily solved using the following list.
