How to run a wash cycle or a drying
cycle
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the button; the
text HELLO 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. Pull out 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.
 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.
 Setting the drying cycle.
The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing
the DRYING button once or several times. Two
options are available:
A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they
have been dried:
Iron dry: slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.
Hanger dry: dry clothes to put away.
Cupboard dry: very dry clothes, recommended for
towelling and bathrobes.
B - Based on time: from 40 minutes to 180.
To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button
until the text OFF appears on the display.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much
greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent
table), perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is
complete, divide the garments into groups and put
some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow
the instructions provided for a "Drying only" cycle.
Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.
N.B: a cooling-down period is always added to the
end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Select a drying setting ( - - ) using the WASH
CYCLE selector in accordance with the type of fabric, then
select the desired drying type using the DRYING button.
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
washer dryer 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.
