Running a wash cycle

1. 

SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. 

Press the On/Off 

button  ; the text POWER ON will appear on the 

display and 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 on the following page.

3. 

MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. 

Open 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. 

Press one of the WASH 

CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash 

cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the 

display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each 

wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the 

cycle will appear on the display.

6. 

CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. 

Use the relevant 

buttons:

Modifying the temperature and/or spin 

speed. 

The machine automatically selects the 

maximum temperature and spin speed set for the 

selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore 

be increased. 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

 (60°) 

(1st press of the button) 

programme is selected, the temperature can be 

increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected programme, 

press the corresponding button repeatedly until the 

required delay period has been reached. When this 

option is enabled, the 

 symbol lights up on the 

display. To remove the delayed start function press the 
button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.

Set the desired wash intensity.

Option “Cleaning Action” 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 “Cleaning 

Action” until the “

Super Wash

” 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 “Cleaning Action” until the 

“

Delicate

” level is reached. The cycle will reduce the 

drum rotation to ensure washing results are perfect for 

delicate garments.

Set the rinse type.

Option “Anti Allergy Rinse” makes it possible to select 

the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the button 

once for the “

Extra Rinse

” level, which makes it possible 

to select an additional rinse after the standard cycle rinse 

and remove all traces of detergent. Press the button 

again for the “

Sensitive Skin

” level, which makes it 

possible to select two additional rinses to the standard 

cycle rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. 

Press the button for the third time for the “

Anti allergy 

Rinse

” level, which makes it possible to select three 

additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses and remove 

major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat and dog hair. 

Press the button again to go back to the “

Normal Rinse

” 

rinse type. If the current adjustment can be neither set 
nor changed, the display will show “

Not allowed

”.

Modifying the cycle settings.

•  Press the button to enable the function; the indicator 

light corresponding to the button will switch on.

•  Press the button again to disable the function; the 

indicator light will switch off.

!

 If the selected function is not compatible with the 

programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash 

and the function will not be activated.

!

If the selected function is not compatible with 

another function which has been selected previously, 

the indicator light corresponding to the first function 

selected will flash and only the second function will 

be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the 
enabled function will remain lit.

!

The functions may affect the recommended load value 

and/or the duration of the cycle.

7. 

START THE PROGRAMME.

 Press the START/

PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light will 

become green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the 

door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be 

on). During the wash cycle, the name of the phase in 

progress will appear on the display. To change a wash 

cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine 

using the START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE 

indicator light will flash slowly in an orange 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 OF CYCLE” 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.
