How to run a wash cycle or a
drying cycle
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. MEASURE OUT 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
4
programme is selected, the temperature
can be increased up to a value of 90°C (+ prewash).
Setting the drying cycle
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:
Iron “A1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing
afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,
making them easier to remove.
Hanger “A2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard “A3”: suitable for laundry which can be put
back in a cupboard without being ironed.
Extra “A4”: suitable for garments which need to be dried
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much
greater than the maximum stated load, 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.
A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each
drying cycle.
Drying only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (12-13-14)
in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or
time may also be set using the DRYING button .
Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme
selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an
automatic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks
to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle
duration; the display will visualise the “A2” dryness level.
Set the desired wash intensity.
Option makes it possible to optimise washing based
on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle
intensity.
Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically
set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average
level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool”
cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”).
For heavily-soiled garments press button until the
“Intensive” level is reached. This level ensures a high-
performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used
in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum
rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn stains.
It can be used with or without bleach. If you desire bleaching,
insert the extra tray compartment (4) into compartment 1.
When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the
“max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. 10).
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment
of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level
is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure
washing results that are perfect for delicate garments.
Modify the cycle settings.

• Pressthebuttonagaintodisabletheoption;the

! 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 a previously
selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first
function selected will flash and only the second option will
be activated; the indicator light for the option which has been
activated will be illuminated.
! 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.
! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press
and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped and the
machine will switch off.
