Select the required programme by turning the programme selector dial (1)
You can choose the right programme for any type of laundry following the descriptions
on the washing programme tables (see «Washing Programmes»).
Turn the programme selector dial to the required programme. The programme selector
determines the type of washing cycle (e.g. water level, drum movement, number of rin-
ses) and the washing temperature according to the type of laundry.
By selecting a programme, the programme progress indicator symbols and the symbol
corresponding to the drying degree allowed by the set programme appear on the display.
The pilot light of button 7 starts blinking and the display shows the duration of the se-
lected programme.
The selector dial can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise.
Position corresponds to a cold wash, the position
to Reset programme/ Switching
OFF of the machine.
At the end of the programme the selector dial must be turned to position , to
switch the machine off.
If you turn the programme selector dial to another programme when the machine is
working, the yellow pilot light of button 7 will blink 3 times and the message Err is dis-
played on the display to indicate a wrong selection. The machine will not perform the
new selected programme.
Select the spin speed, NIGHT CYCLE or RINSE HOLD option (button 2)
When the required programme has been selected, your appliance automatically proposes
the maximum spin speed provided for that programme.
Press this button repeatedly to change the spin speed, if you want your laundry to be
spun at a speed different from the one proposed by the washer-dryer.
RINSE HOLD: by selecting this option the water of the last rinse is not emptied out to
prevent the fabrics from creasing. At the end of the programme, a blinking and the
RINSE HOLD symbol appear on the display, the DOOR symbol (door locked) remains lit
and the pilot light of button 7 goes off. The door is locked to indicate that the water
must be emptied out.
NIGHT CYCLE: by selecting this option, the machine will not drain the water of the last
rinse, so as not to wrinkle the laundry. As all spinning phases are suppressed, this wash-
ing cycle is very quiet and it can be selected at night or in times with a more economical
power rate. In some programmes the rinses will be performed with more water. At the
end of the programme, a blinking and the RINSE HOLD symbol appear on the display,
the DOOR symbol remains lit and the pilot light of button 7 goes off. The door is locked
to indicate that the water must be emptied out.
RINSE HOLD or NIGHT CYCLE option cannot be selected with a NON-STOP pro-
gramme (see Drying section). To empty out the water, please read chapter «At the
end of the programme».
