Press to start the selected cycle .

Changing the settings after the programmes has started (PAUSE)

Press and hold the “START/PAUSE” button for about 2 seconds, the flashing lights on the

options buttons and time remaining indicator will show that the machine has been paused,

adjust as required and press the “START/PAUSE” button again to cancel the flashing lights.

If you wish to add or remove items during washing, wait 2 minutes until the safety device

unlocks the door.

When you have carried out the manoeuvre, close the door, press "Start/Pause" button and

the appliance will continue working where it left off.

CANCELLING THE PROGRAMME

To cancel the programme, set the selector to the OFF position.

Select a different programme.

Re-set the programme selector to the OFF position.

Programme Start light

This lights up when the START button has been pressed.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing

the "Start/Pause" button.

“COLD WASH” button

By pressing this button it is possible to transform every programme into a cold washing one,

without modifying other characteristics (water level, times, rythmes, etc...).

Curtains, small carpets, man made delicate fabrics, non coulor fast garments can be safely

washed thanks to this new device.

ALLERGY CARE button

By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed

Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats with care the fibres of

garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.

The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined

action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which

have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that

the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also

increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This

function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even

a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.

You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,

or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of

detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the

Delicates and Woollens/Hand wash programs.

Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while

the machine is operating, a special memory stores the

selected programme and, when the power is restored, it

continues where it left off.

“DELAY START” button

This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle to delay the start of the cycle for up

to 24 hours.

To delay the start use the following procedure:

Set the required programme.

Press the button once to activate it (h00 appears on the display) and then press it again to set

a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay increases by 1 hour each time

the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, at which point pressing the button

again will reset the delay start to zero.

Confirm by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button (the light on the display starts to flash). The

countdown will begin and when it has finished the programme will start automatically.

It is possible to cancel the delay start by taking the following action:

Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display will show the settings for the

programme selected.

At this stage it is possible to start the programme previously selected by pressing the

“START/PAUSE” button or to cancel the process by setting the selector to the OFF position

and then selecting another programme.

“SPIN SELECTION” button

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without

damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.

By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle

can be cancelled.

To reactivate the spin cycle press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set.

To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that which is

automatically suitable during the selection of the program.

It is possible to modify the spin speed without to pausing the machine.

Note:

The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which

prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced.

This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so

prolongs the life of your machine.

“DIGITAL” Display

The display’s indicator system allows you to be constantly informed about the status of the

machine:

1) SPIN SPEED

Once the programme has been selected, the maximum spin speed allowed for that

programme appears on the display. Pressing the spin button will reduce the speed by 100

rpm each time the button is pressed. The minimum speed allowed is 400 rpm, or it is

possible to omit the spin by pressing the spin button repeatedly.

2) DELAY START LIGHT

This flashes when delay start has been set.

3) “DOOR SECURITY” indicator light

The “Door Security” indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully closed and the machine is ON.

When "Start/Pause" is pressed on the machine with the door closed the indicator will flash

momentarily and then illuminate.

If the door is not closed the indicator will continue to flash.

A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle.

Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the “Door Security” light has gone out

before opening the door. At the end of the cycle turn the programme selector to "OFF" .

4) CYCLE DURATION

When a programme is selected the display automatically shows the cycle duration, which

can vary, depending on the options selected.

Once the programme has started you will be kept informed constantly of the time remaining

to the end of the wash.

The appliance calculates the time to the end of the selected programme based upon a

standard loading, during the cycle, the appliance corrects the time to that applicable to the

size and composition of the load.
