FUNCTIONS

- If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the

indicator light will ash and the option will not be activated.

- If the selected option is not compatible with another previously

selected option, the indicator light will ash accompanied by a buzzer,

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 foodstus 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 eciency 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 modied 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 ash and the phase will remain lit

steady. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY

IRON button.

Delay start

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 modied by decreasing it until the set cycle is launched.

Temperature

40°

60°

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the

temperature, press the

40°

60°

button.

Spin

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,

press the button.

Push & Go

This function allows for starting a wash cycle even when the machine is

switched o without having to press the ON/OFF button in advance

or, after switching the machine on, without having activated any other

button and/or selector knob (otherwise the Push & Go cycle will be

deactivated). 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 o, 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 nished, 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 modied

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 bres, 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine

o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to

clean the washing machine.

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.

Clean the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned

using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or

abrasives.

The washing machine has a “Auto-clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must

be run without any load in the drum.

To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the

quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean

the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40

wash cycles.

To start the cycle press buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds.

The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To

stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.

Clean the detergent dispenser drawer

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Care for the door and drum

Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours

from forming.

Clean the pump

The washing machine is tted with a auto-cleaning pump that does not

require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may

sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the

pump.

! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is

normal for some water to leak out;

2. clean the inside thoroughly;

3. screw the cover back on;

Check the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it

must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water

could suddenly split the hose open.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.

LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every

spin 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.

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 lling 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”.
