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" .

NOTE: When the "Start/Pause" button has been pressed,

the appliance can take few seconds before it starts

working.

light to flash before pressing the "Start/Pause" button.

Press to start the selected cycle (according to the selected cycle one indicator lights will go on) .

Changing the settings after the programmes has started (PAUSE)

The programme may be paused at any time during the wash cycle by holding down the

Door handle

Press the finger-bar inside the door handle to open the door.

IMPORTANT:

A SPECIAL SAFETY DEVICE PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM OPENING AT THE END

OF THE WASH/SPIN CYCLE. AT THE END OF THE SPIN PHASE WAIT UP TO 2

MINUTES BEFORE OPENING THE DOOR.

PRE-WASH BUTTON

This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used only on some

programmes as shown in the programmes table.

Detergent for this programme should be added to the compartment of the soap drawer

labelled “I” (Please refer to Detergent Drawer Section of manual). We recommend you use

only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack and fabric conditioner

should not be used for this programme.

START DELAY BUTTON

Appliance start time can be set with this button, delaying the star by 3, 6 or 9 hours.

Proceed as follow to set a delayed start:

Select a programme (“STOP” indicator light blinks)

Press Start Delay button (each time the button is pressed the start will be delayed by 3, 6 or

9 hours respectively and the corresponding light will blink).

Press START to commence the Start Delay operation (the indicator light associated with the

selected Start Delay time stops blinking and remains ON).

At the end of the required time delay the programme will start.

To cancel the Start Delay function :

press the Start Delay button until the indicator lights will be off (The STOP light blinks) and

the programme can be started manually using the START button or switch off the appliance

by turning the programme selector to off position.

EXTRA RINSE BUTTON

Thanks to the new electronic system, acting on the button is possible to effect a new special

rinse cycle. The addition of a lot of more water and the new action combined of cycles of

rotation of the drum with load and unloading of water, allow to get laundry perfectly rinsed.

This function has been studied for the people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which also a

least residue of detergent can cause irritations or allergies.

It advises to also use this function for the children items and in case of washings of very dirty

items, for which it is due to use a lot of detergent, or in the washing of towelling items whose

fibers mostly have the tendency to hold the detergent.

This button is not available on specials programmes excluding the SPORTS programme.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing

the "Start/Pause" button.

WASH TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB

ROTATES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS

With this device it is possible to reduce, but no increase

washing cycle temperature.

The table of programmes indicate the maximum temperature

advised for each type of wash.

WARNING: THIS TEMPERATURE MUST NEVER BE

EXCEEDED

1200/600 button

The machine gradually increases the final spin speed to the maximum possible speed.

The button reduces spin speed to 600 r.p.m.

Note:

This function is not available when the automatic washing/drying cycle is selected.

Note: this model is fitted with an electronic device that

checks the load is balanced correctly. If the load is

slightly unbalanced the machine will re-balance it

automatically to carry out the normal spin.

If, after several attempts, balance is not restored, a

reduced spin speed will be used.

If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin stage will be

cancelled.

This helps limit vibration, reduce noise output and

improve the washing machine’s lifespan.
