Running a wash cycle

1. 

SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. 

Press the On/Off 

button  ; the text POWER ON will appear on the 

display and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash 

slowly in a green colour.

2. 

LOAD THE LAUNDRY. 

Open the porthole door. 

Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed 

the maximum load value indicated in the table of 

programmes on the following page.

3. 

MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. 

Open the 

detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into 

the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents 

and laundry”.

4. 

CLOSE THE DOOR.

5. 

SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. 

Press one of the WASH 

CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash 

cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the 

display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each 

wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the 

cycle will appear on the display.

6. 

CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. 

Use the relevant 

buttons:

Modifying the temperature and/or spin 

speed. 

The machine automatically selects the 

maximum temperature and spin speed set for the 

selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore 

be increased. The temperature can be decreased by 

pressing the 

 button, until the cold wash “OFF” 

setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively 

reduced by pressing the   button, until it is completely 

excluded (the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are 

pressed again, the maximum values are restored. 

!

Exception: if the

 (60°) 

(1st press of the button) 

programme is selected, the temperature can be 

increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected programme, 

press the corresponding button repeatedly until the 

required delay period has been reached. When this 

option is enabled, the   symbol lights up on the 

display. To remove the delayed start function press the 

button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.

Set the desired wash intensity.

Option 

 makes it possible to optimise washing 

based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired 

wash cycle intensity. 

Select the wash programme: the cycle will be 

automatically set to “

Normal

” as optimised for garments 

with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable to 

the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to “

Delicate

”).

For heavily-soiled garments press button 

 until 

the “

Super Wash

” level is reached. This level ensures 

a high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of 

water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to 

increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the 

most stubborn stains. 

It can be used 

with 

or 

without 

bleach. If you wish to 

bleach the items insert the additional compartment 

(

4

) into compartment 

1

. When pouring the bleach, be 

careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the 

central pivot 

(see figure pag. 10).

For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment 

of the fabrics, press button 

 until the “

Delicate

” level 

is reached.  

The cycle will reduce the drum rotation to ensure 

washing results are perfect for delicate garments.

Set the rinse type.

Option 

 makes it possible to select the desired rinse 

type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the 

“

Extra Rinse

” level, which makes it possible to select 

an additional rinse after the standard cycle rinse and 

remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again 

for the “

Sensitive Skin

” level, which makes it possible to 

select two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it 

is recommended for very sensitive skin. Press the button 

for the third time for the “

Anti allergy Rinse

” level, which 

makes it possible to select three additional rinses to the 

standard cycle rinses and remove major allergens such as 

pollen, mites, cat and dog hair. Press the button again to 

go back to the “

Normal Rinse

” rinse type. If the current 

adjustment can be neither set nor changed, the display will 

show “

Not allowed

”.

Modifying the cycle settings.

•  Press the button to enable the function; the indicator 

light corresponding to the button will switch on.

•  Press the button again to disable the function; the 

indicator light will switch off.

!

 If the selected function is not compatible with the 

programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash 

and the function will not be activated.

!

If the selected function is not compatible with 

another function which 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 function will remain lit.

!

The functions may affect the recommended load value 

and/or the duration of the cycle.

7. 

START THE PROGRAMME.

 Press the START/PAUSE 

button. The corresponding indicator light will become 

green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be 

locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be on). During 

the wash cycle, the name of the phase in progress will 

appear on the display. To change a wash cycle while 

it is in progress, pause the washing machine using the 

START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light 

will flash slowly in an orange colour); then select the 

desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. 

To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press 

the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED

the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle 

from the point at which it was interrupted.

 symbol switches off 

the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the 

laundry and switch off the machine.
