Daily Use

PREPARING THE LAUNDRY

Empty pockets

Coins, paper clips, etc. could damage the load and the washing machine components.
Tissues will break down during the wash cycle, and the fragments will have to be subsequently removed by hand.

Close all zippers, buttons, and hooks. Tie all ribbons or belts

Insert the smaller garments (e.g. nylon hosiery, belts, etc.) and garments with hooks (e.g. braziers) into a fabric bag or a pillowcase with a zipper.
Remove any rings from curtains, or else place the curtains inside a fabric bag together with the rings.

HOW TO USE THE WASHING MACHINE

Load laundry
Open the door and load the laundry. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes given in the “PROGRAMME CHART” table. Overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

Close door

Make sure that no laundry gets stuck between door glass and rubber seal. Close the door so that you can hear it click shut.

Open water tap

Make sure that the washing machine is connected to the water mains. Open the water tap.

Switch on washing machine
Press the “ON/OFF” , the “Start/Pause” lamp flashes slowly.

Set the desired programme
Select the required programme with the “Program selector” dial. The washing machine automatically displays the default temperature setting and then the duration of the washing cycle. Adjust the temperature and/or spin speed settings if needed with the relative buttons.

Change temperature, if needed
Press the “Temperature” button to progressively lower
the temperature setting until cold wash has been set (“- -“ will be shown on the display). Pressing the button again sets the highest possible setting.

Change spin speed, if needed
Press the “Spin” button to progressively decrease the spin speed until the spin cycle is turned off (“0” will be shown on the display). Pressing the button again sets the highest possible setting.

Select functions, if needed

Press the button to select the function; the respective symbol on display illuminates.
Press the button again to cancel the option; the light extinguishes.
If the selected function is incompatible with the programme set, the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the corresponding indicator light will flash.
If the selected function is incompatible with another previously set function, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Add detergent

Pull out the detergent dispenser and add detergent (and additives/softener) into the relative compartments as described in section “DETERGENT DISPENSER”. Observe the dosing recommendations on the detergent pack.

Correct dosing of detergent / additives is important, because:

it optimizes the cleaning result
it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry
it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent
it protects the washing machine by avoiding calcification of components
it respects the environment by avoiding unnecessary environmental burden.

Delaying the start of a programme

To set the selected programme to start at a later time (Max 24h), press the button to set the desired delay time.
The symbol lights on the display when this fuction is enabled. To cancel the delayed start, press the button again untile the value ‚‘‘0‘‘ is shown on the display.

Start programme

Press the “Start/Pause” . The relative indicator lamp illuminates, the door locks and the “Door locked” indicator lights up with a “beep”.
To avoid overflow, do not open the detergent dispenser during a running programme anymore. The remaining programme duration can vary. Factors like unbalance in the wash load, or foam formation, can have an effect on the programme duration.

Change the settings of a running programme, if needed

You can still change the settings while a programme is running. The changes will be applied, provided the respective programme phase has not finished yet.
To change the settings of a running programme:
Press “Start/Pause” (confirmation “beep”) to put the running programme on pause.
Change your settings.
Press “Start/Pause” (confirmation “beep”) again to continue the programme.
If you have changed the programme, do not add detergent for the new programme.

Pause a running programme and open the door, if needed

Press “Start/Pause” to pause a running programme.
Provided water level or temperature is not too high, the “Door locked” indicator light turns off. You can open the door, for example to add more laundry, or to remove laundry which was loaded by mistake.
Press “Start/Pause” to proceed with the programme.

Cancelling a running programme, if needed

Press and hold the “ON/OFF“ button: a count down is shown in the display until the washing machine stops.
If the water level and temperature are low enough, the door unlocks and may be opened.
The door remains locked if there is water in the drum.
To unlock the door, switch the washing machine on, select the “Spin & Drain” programme and turn the spin option off by setting the spin speed to “0“.
The water is emptied and the door unlocks at the end of the programme.

The door can only be opened when the symbol “Door locked” light turns off.
Check that the “Door locked” indicator is off, then open the door and take out the laundry.

Hints and Tips

RULES FOR SEPARATING LAUNDRY

Fabric type / indications on label (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetic, wool, handwash items).
Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured items separately).
Size (wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficacy and weight distribution in the drum).
Delicates (place small items – such as nylon stockings – and garments with clasps – such as braziers – in a laundry bag or in a pillow case with a zip).

WASH SYMBOLS ON GARMENT LABELS
The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum temperature possible for washing the garment.

CLEAN THE WATER FILTER REGULARLY
This is needed to prevent the filter from blocking and preventing the water from draining correctly.

SAVING ENERGY AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Keeping within the load limits indicated in the “PROGRAMM CHART” will optimise energy, water and detergent consumption and reduce washing times.
Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
Save energy by using a 60 °C instead of a 90 °C wash programme, or by using a 40 °C instead of a 60 °C wash programme. We recommend using the “ Cotton “ the 60 °C programme for cotton garments, which is longer, but uses less energy.
To save energy and time when washing, select highest spin speed available for the programme to reduce the residual water remaining in the garments at the end of the wash cycle.
Pretreat any stains with an appropriate stain remover, or else dampen any dried-on stains with water prior to washing, as this will reduce the need to use a high temperature wash programme.

The washing machine may sometimes not work properly for certain reasons. Before calling the After-sales service, it is recommended to check to see if the problem can be easily resolved using the following list.

Problem	Possible causes / Solutions:
The washing machine does not turn on.	• The plug is not inserted

into the electrical outlet, or not enough to make contact.

• There has been a power failure.

The wash cycle does not start.| • The “ON/OFF” button has not been pressed.

• The “Start/Pause” button has not been pressed.

• The water tap is not open.

• A “Start delay” has been set.

• The machine is in DEMO mode; check if the display shows “dOn”

• If the problem persists after having performed these checks, close the water tap, shut off the washing machine, and call the After-sales service. If the dwelling is located on one of the uppermost floors of a building, a siphon effect can sometimes occur, thus causing the washing machine to load and drain water continuously.

• If the problem persists, call the After-sales service.

Too much foam is formed.| • The detergent is not compatible with the washing machine (it must bear the wording “for washing machines”, “for hand washing and washing machines”, or something similar).
