OPTIONS

- If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the

indicator light will ash and the option will not be activated.

- If the selected option is not compatible with another option that has

been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the rst

function selected will ash and only the second option will be

activated; the indicator light corresponding to the activated option will

be illuminated.

Steam

This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during

the wash cycle that eliminates any bacteria from bres while treating

them at the same time. Moreover, the addition of steam facilitates the

subsequent ironing of clothing.

! The steam generated during washing machine operation may cause the

porthole door to become hazy.

Extra Rinse

Selecting this option allows for enhancing rinsing eciency and fully

removing the detergent. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

Delay start

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

button repeatedly until the desired delay period is reached. When this

option has been activated, the symbol lights up on the display. To

remove the delayed start setting, press the button until “OFF” appears on

the display.

Temperature

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the

temperature, press the button. The value will appear on the display.

Spin

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,

press the button. The value will appear on the display.

Cleaning Action

Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of

soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.

For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensiv” 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.

For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics,

press button until the “Sanft” level is reached. The cycle will reduce

drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate

garments.

CHILD LOCK

To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for

approximately 2 seconds. When the symbol is lit, the control panel is

locked (except for the ON/OFF button). This will prevent accidental

modications to wash cycles, especially when children are at home. To

deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for

approximately 2 seconds.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to:

Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine

o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to

clean the washing machine.

Cutting o 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 “Self-Cleaning” 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 specied 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 cycle press buttons and simultaneously 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 eected 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 tted 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.

ANTIMICROBIAL SEAL

The seal around the porthole door is made from a special mixture

ensuring antimicrobial protection, thus reducing bacterial proliferation

up to 99.99%.

The seal contains zinc pyrithione, a biocidal substance which reduces the

proliferation of harmful microbes (*) such as batteries and mould prone to

causing stains, unpleasant odours and product deterioration.

(*) According to tests performed by the University of Perugia, Italy

on: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coll, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,

Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium digitatum

In rare cases an allergic reaction may be caused by prolonged contact between

seal and skin.

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 lling 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”.
