WASH CYCLE TABLE

The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on standard conditions.
The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as temperature and pressure of the incoming
water, ambient temperature, amount of detergent load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional
options selected. The values given for programmes other than the Eco 40-60 programme are indicative only.
1) Eco 40-60 – Test wash cycle in compliance with EU Ecodesign regulation 2019/2014. The most efficient
programme in terms of energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
Note: spin speed values shown on the display can slightly differ from the values stated in the table.
For all testing institutes:
2) Long cotton cycle: set programme Cotton at a temperature of 40°C.
3) Long synthetics cycle: set cycle Synthetics at a temperature of 40°C.

* By selecting the Spin & Drain cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washing machine will drain only.
** The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display.
*** After the programme end and spins with maximum selectable spin speed, in the default programme setting.

WASH CYCLES
Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the
maximum recommended temperature for washing the garment.
Mixed
For washing lightly to normally soiled resistant garments in cotton, linen, synthetic fibres and mixed fibres.
Eco 40-60
For washing normally soiled cotton garments declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same
cycle. This is the standard cotton programme and the most efficient in terms of water and energy consumption.
Cotton is Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of resistant linen and cotton that are
moderately to heavily soiled. Synthetics Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic fibres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres. Delicates Suitable for washing lightly
soiled garments made of synthetic fibres (e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton fibres.
Wool – Woolmark Apparel Care – Green:

The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark Company for washing wool garments classified as “hand-
washable”, provided that the wash complies with the instructions appearing on the garment’s label and with those
provided by the manufacturer of this washing machine Anti Allergy Suitable for removing major allergens such as
pollen, mites and cat or dog hair. Spin & Drain Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If
you exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only. Rinse & Spin Rinses and then spins. For resilient
garments. Baby Use the special wash cycle to remove the soiling typically caused by babies while removing all
traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions.
The cycle has been designed to reduce the number of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising
the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent. 20°C For washing lightly soiled cotton garments,
at a temperature of 20 °C. Duvet Suitable for washing clothing padded with goose down, such as single duvets
(weighing under 3,5 kg), cushions or down jackets. Duvets should be loaded into the drum with their edges folded
inwards and no more than ¾ of the total drum volume should be used up. For best results, it is advisable to use
liquid detergent to be poured into the detergent drawer. White For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours. 30
min For washing lightly soiled garments in a short time.
Not suitable for wool, silk and garments to be washed by hand. Full Load 45 min Suitable for washing a full load of
cotton clothes moderately soiled in 45 minutes. Anti Stain 40° the programme is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When
running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are particularly obstinate stains

DISPLAY

The display is useful when programming the washing machine and provides plenty of information.

The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running cycle appear (the display will show
the maximum duration of the cycle chosen, which may decrease after several minutes since the effective duration
of the programme varies depending on the wash load and the settings chosen); if the DELAY START option has
been set, the countdown to the start of the selected wash cycle will appear. Pressing the corresponding button
allows you to view the maximum spin speed and temperature values attained by the machine during the set wash
cycle, or the values selected most recently if these are compatible with the set wash cycle.

Locked door indicator

When lit, the symbol indicates that the door is locked. To prevent any damage, wait until the symbol turns off

before opening the door. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if
the symbol is off, the door can be opened.

FIRST-TIME USE
Once the appliance has been installed, and before it is used for the first time, run a wash cycle with a very little
detergent and no laundry, by setting the “Auto-Clean” cycle. (see “CARE AND MAINTENANCE”).

DAILY USE
Prepare the laundry by following the suggestions appearing under the “TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS” section.

– Press the ON/OFF button; the indicator light relative to START/PAUSE will flash slowly green.
– Open the door. Load the laundry while making sure not to exceed the maximum load quantity indicated in the
wash cycle table.
– Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments, as described in
the “DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER” section. – Close the door.
– Select the desired wash cycle.
– Pressing the button gradually reduces the temperature down to the cold wash “OFF” setting. Pressing the
button gradually reduces the spin speed until it is completely excluded (“OFF” setting). Pressing the buttons
further restores the maximum allowed values for the selected cycle.
– Select the desired options.

STARTING CYCLE
– Press the START/PAUSE button.

The machine will lock the door ( symbol on) and the drum will start to rotate; the door will be unlocked (

the washing machine will switch off automatically after about a 10 minutes.

OPTIONS

– If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will
not be activated.
Extra Rinse
Selecting this option allows for enhancing rinsing efficiency and fully removing the detergent. It is particularly
useful for sensitive skin.
Extra Touch
After pushing the button for the 1st time, option “Rapid Option” is selected and the cycle duration will be reduced.

After pushing the button for the 2nd time, option “Steam ygiene” enhances washing performance by
generating steam during the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the fibres, which are treated at the same
time.
! The steam generated during the operation of the washing machine may cause the porthole door to become
hazy.
Delay

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, 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. Follow the dosage recommendation/additives It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues
of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent Use low
temperature and longer duration The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally
those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration. Observe the load sizes Load your washing machine
up to the capacity indicated in the
“PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy. Noise and remaining moisture content They are
influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and
the lower the remaining moisture content.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to
clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Cutting off the water and electricity 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.
Cleaning 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 specified 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 programme, close the door, turn the
machine ON and press button for 5 seconds. The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes.

To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button . Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer Remove
the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards.
Wash it under running water; this procedure should be effected regularly. Caring for the door and drum Always
leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Cleaning the pump The washing
machine is fitted with a self-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 that
the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting a screwdriver in the centre and sides of
the panel and using it as a lever;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance.
Checking 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

ACCESSORIES

Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this
washing machine model. Stacking kit With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of
your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.
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 filling 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 “Installation instructions”.
