CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. 

Use the relevant

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°C) 

(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.

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.

START THE PROGRAMME.

 Press the START/

PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light will

in progress will appear on the display. To change a 

wash cycle while it is in progress,

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 

symbol is switched off the door may be opened. Press 

the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash 

cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.
