• Set the WASH CYCLE knob to the desired cycle.
• Modify the temperature and/or spin: pressing the button allows for gradually reducing the temperature down to the cold wash level (20°C). The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored.
• 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 ( indicator light on).

PAUSING A CYCLE
To pause the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button again; the indicator light will flash amber. If the indicator light is not lit, the door may be opened. To start the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.

OPENING THE DOOR, IF NECESSARY
Once a cycle starts, the indicator light turns on to signal that the door cannot be opened. While a wash cycle is running, the door remains locked. To open the door while a cycle is under way, for example, to add or remove garments, press the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle; the indicator light will flash amber. If the indicator light is not lit, the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to continue the cycle.

CHANGING A RUNNING WASH CYCLE
To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine using the START/PAUSE button (the relative indicator light will flash amber), then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. To cancel a cycle that has already begun, press and hold the ON/OFF button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off.

END OF THE CYCLE
Once the cycle terminates the indicator light will light up; when the indicator light switches off, the door may be opened. Open the door and switch off the machine. If you do not press ON/OFF button, the washing machine will switch off automatically after about a 10 minutes. Close the water tap, open the door and unload the washing machine. Leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry.

OPTIONS

• 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 (3 beeps), 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. 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.

Easy iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to limit the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine’s drum will rotate slowly; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash and the phase will remain lit steady. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

Delay timer
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the desired delay period has been reached (3h-6h-9h). When the button is pressed for the fourth time, the option will deactivate. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until the set cycle is launched.

Temperature
Each wash cycle has a pre-defined temperature. To modify the temperature, press the button.

Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-defined spin speed. To modify the spin speed, press the button.

PUSH & GO
To start the PUSH & GO cycle press and hold the relative button for 2 seconds. The lit indicator light indicates that the cycle has started. This wash cycle is ideal for cotton or synthetic fabrics, as it washes at a temperature of 30°C and a maximum spin speed of 1.000 rpm. Max load 3,5 kg (cycle duration 45’).

How does it work?

1. Load the laundry (cotton and/or synthetic garments) and close the door.

2. Pour the detergent and 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 symbol lights up).
   N.B: starting the wash cycle through the PUSH & GO button activates an automatic non-customisable cycle recommended for cotton and synthetic fabrics. This cycle does not allow for setting any additional options. To open the door while an automatic cycle is under way, press the START/PAUSE button; if the locked door symbol is off, the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.

4. Once the programme is finished, the indicator light turns on.

CHILD LOCK
to activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds. The lit symbol signals that the control panel is locked. This prevents wash cycles from being modified accidentally (except for the ON/OFF button), especially if there are children in the home. To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds.

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.

Follow the dosage recommendation/additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent.

Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programmes 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 mains 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.

LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations 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.

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 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 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”.

TROUBLESHOOTING
