How to run a wash cycle or a

drying cycle

Rapid programming
1. 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 and wash cycles on the following page.

2. ADD THE DETERGENT. Pull out the detergent

dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant

compartments as described in “Detergents and laundry”.

3. CLOSE THE DOOR.

Traditional programming
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the button;

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 and wash cycles on the following page.

3. ADD THE DETERGENT. Pull out 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. Use the WASH CYCLE

SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle. A

temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle;

these values may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle

will appear on the display.

6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:

Modify the temperature and/or spin

speed. The machine automatically displays the

maximum temperature and spin speed values set for

the selected cycle, or the most recently-used settings

if they are compatible with the selected cycle. 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 8 programme is selected, the

temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting the drying cycle

a

The first time the button

is pressed, the machine will

automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is

compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent

presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying

time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”).

Drying may be set as follows:

A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:

Cupboard

:

suitable for laundry which can be put

back in a cupboard without being ironed.

Hanger

:

ideal for clothes which do not need to be

dried fully.

Iron

:

suitable for clothes which will need ironing

afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,

making them easier to remove.

B - Based on a set time period: between 210 and 30 minutes

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much

greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent

table of wash cycles), perform the wash cycle, and when

the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups

and put some of them back in the drum. At this point,

follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle.

Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.

Note:

a cooling-down period is always added to the end

of each drying cycle.
Drying only

Press button

to perform the drying-only cycle.

After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type

of garments), press button

to exclude the washing

phase and start the drying phase at the maximum level

for the selected cycle. The drying level or time may be set

and changed by pressing the drying button

.

(Not compatible with cycles 13 and 14).

Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the

corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay

period has been reached. When this option has been

activated, the

symbol lights up on the display. To

remove the delayed start setting, press the button until

the text “OFF” appears on the display.
Modify the cycle settings.

• Press the button to enable the option; the indicator

light corresponding to the button will switch on.

• Press the button again to disable the option; the

indicator light will switch off.

! 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.

! The options may affect the recommended load value

and/or the duration of the cycle.

7. START THE WASH CYCLE. Press the START/PAUSE

button. The corresponding indicator light will turn green,

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

(the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be lit). To change a

wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washer-

dryer using the START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE

indicator light will flash slowly in an amber 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.

8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be

indicated by the text “END” on the display; when the

DOOR LOCKED symbol switches off the door may

be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and

switch off the machine.
