Stain removal (see page 8)
Thanks to this command, Mar-
gherita will carry out a more in-
tensive wash that optimises the
effectiveness of the liquid
additives, thus allowing more
resistant stains to be removed.
When you press the stain removal
button, you cannot activate the
pre-wash cycle.
On-off
When button I is pressed, the
washer-dryer is switched on,
when it is not the machine is
switched off.
Turning the appliance off does
not cancel the selected
programme.
On-off lamp / door locked
Lamp L flashes slowly when the
appliance is switched on and
awaiting instructions and at the
end of a cycle, indicating that the
door can be opened. It flashes
quickly when the door should
not be opened. A steady light
means the appliance has
accepted the selected
programme.
Drying cycle lamp
When this lamp is on, it means
that knob C has been set on a
drying cycle and at the end of the
wash cycle, the appliance will run
the selected tumble drying cycle.
The washer-dryer is equipped
with extra compartment 4
(provided) for the bleach, to be
inserted in compartment 1.
Anti-crease
This button allows you to
interrupt a programme (on
symbol ) keeping the washing
soaking in water before the spin
cycle. It is a very useful button
in particular because it can be
used for delicates and synthetics.
It is only to be used with wash
program-mes for synthetic
fabrics, silk and curtains when it
is impossible for you to take the
washing out immediately. Before
opening the washing machine
door, finish the wash cycle as
follows:
Silk and curtains: press button
E and Margherita will drain the
water.
Synthetic fabrics: press button E
if you want a spin cycle, or turn
knob A to symbol if you
want the water to be drained.
With "Daily wash" or "Hand
wash", this function is not
performed.
Slow spin
Use this button to reduce the
spinning speed from 1200 to 600
rpm for the cotton programmes
and from 850 to 600 rpm for the
synthetic fabrics programmes.
Rapid wash
This button reduces the length of
the wash programme by about
30%. It cannot be used with
special programmes (see page 4)
or those for wool and silk.
Here I’m in command
Understanding the control panel
Making the right choice is important. And it’s easy.
Margherita’s knobs are
hidden. Just press them lightly
in the middle to extract them.
Programme selector knob
and programmed start
Use this knob to select the wash
programme.
Turn this knob clockwise only.
To select a programme, you
should turn the knob so that the
symbol/number of the desired
programme is in line with the
pointer on the control panel.
Now press on/off button I
(position I), pilot lamp L will start
flashing.
After 5", the setting will be
accepted, pilot lamp L will stop
flashing (staying lit) and the wash
cycle will begin.
Should you wish to interrupt the
programme in progress or set a
new one, select one of the
symbols (Stop/Reset) and wait
5" : when the cancellation has
been accepted, pilot lamp L
flashes, and you can then turn the
appliance off.
You can use this knob to delay
the appliance's operation.
Select one of the 3 delay time
positions, press the on/off button
I (position I) and wait 5". The
setting has now been accepted
(pilot lamp L stays lit) and you
can select the programme you
desire.
Pilot lamp L has a particular
flashing motion (2" on and 4"
off) to indicate that a delayed
start has been set.
During this phase, you can open
the appliance door and change
the washing load, should you
wish to do so.
After the wash cycle has been set
and accepted by the washer-
dryer, turning the knob will have
no effect (except for when it is
on position Stop/Reset).
Temperature control knob
It is used to set the wash tempe-
rature indicated in the
programme table. It also allows
you to reduce the temperature
recommended for the selected
programme, and even to set a
cold wash cycle ( ).
Drying cycle knob
Use this knob to select the desired
drying cycle. Two options are
available:
A - Based on time:
From 40 minutes to 150.
B - Based on the damp level of
the dry clothes:
Iron : slightly damp clothes,
easy to iron.
Wardrobe : dry clothes to put
away.
Extra dry : very dry clothes,
recommended for towelling and
bathrobes.
A cooling stage is foreseen at the
end of the drying cycle.
Detergent dispenser
It is divided into three
compartments:
1. Detergent for pre-washing;
2. Detergent for the wash cycle;
3. Fabric softeners.
The detergent dispenser with
the additional bleach
compartment is here.
