Operating Instructions
Using detergent and additives
Place the detergent or additive in the detergent drawer before the wash
programme begins. The drawer is divided into three compartments.
- Prewash compartment
- Wash compartment
- Liquid additive compartment (fabric softener etc.) The level of liquid must never be higher than the Max reference mark printed on the compartment wall
Selecting a wash programme
There are four types of programmes
- Normal programmes
- Delicate programmes
- Wool programmes
- Auxiliary programmes
To select a wash programme, proceed as follows:
- Switch the washing machine on by pressing the programme selector dial which will come out.
- Select the wash programme by turning the programme selector dial.
Selecting washing and drying
Select a wash programme and then select a drying time using the button next to
the display. An “0” will appear on the display and the drying phase LED will
light up; both will flash together until the On button is pressed. When the
drying minutes button is pressed again, the time appearing on the display will
increase minute by minute from 20 to 180. If you press and hold down the time
button, the time will advance 10 minutes per second. While washing is in
progress you can view the drying time by pressing the button once. You can
also press it more than once to modify the drying time. In this case, the
washing machine will stay on pause until the On button is pressed again.
Selecting drying only
Turn the programming dial to ON and then select the drying programme. If you
decide to take out the clothes before the drying time selected is up, turn the
display to zero.
Selecting additional functions
The wash options should always be selected after choosing the wash programme.
If the programme is changed during the selection, the options previously
selected will be cancelled out. The following options are available:
Spin speed select
The programme selected has its own particular spin speed. If necessary, the
spin speed can be changed, the spin-dry can be skipped, or the anti-crease
option can be used. To do this press the spin speed select button repeatedly
until the desired option lights up.
Anti-crease
This stops the cycle after the last rinse, water remains in the drum to stop
creasing. When the function is deactivated the washing machine will continue
to drain and spin.
Spin suppression
This option allows you to run a programme without the final spin. This is used
to avoid the formation of creases when washing special materials.
Extra rinse
This increases the final rinse given to the clothes. Suitable for large loads
and people with sensitive skin.
Intensive wash
This option is recommended for heavily soiled and stained garments, provides
better results when the normal wash cycle is extended.
Easy iron
This option prevents the clothes from creasing by running a special programme
and making them easier to iron. The wash options should always be selected
after the wash programme has been chosen. The drying time can be selected
before or after the options. A drying programme will not admit any wash
options.
Starting up the washing machine
To start the washer-dryer press the On button. The display above the button
will light up and the washing machine will begin to run the programme selected
together with the options. The display will show the minutes left until the
selected programmes end, whether these are wash, wash+dry or just dry. When
the full time has elapsed it will show “0”, and when the door lock is released
it will show “End”.
If you need to add or remove a garment while the washing machine is on, select
Pause and check the water level is not above the door overflow level and that
the temperature inside the washing machine is not hot. When you press the On
button again, washing will resume from the phase of the cycle where it left
off.
The phases of the programme that are active will successively appear as the programme progresses. Any of the option buttons can be selected provided that the wash phase they affect has not ended and the programme allows this option. When the washing machine is running certain actions can cause the washer-dryer to pause. These are: Deactivating the child lock, pressing the on button, pressing the drying minutes button more than once within 3 seconds.
In these cases the previously selected wash options and drying time will be maintained and when the On button is pressed again the washing machine will continue to function from the point at which it left off. In these cases clothes may be taken out of the washing machine as long as the load door can be opened.
