Running a wash cycle
Note:
After installing the machine and before using
it for the first time, run an empty wash cycle using
detergent, setting the programme and ensuring
the timer knob is in the "auto" position.
1. Switch the washing machine on by pressing
ON/OFF button . All the LEDS will light up for
a few seconds and the ON-OFF/DOOR LOCK
indicator light will begin to flash.
2. LOADING LAUNDRY. Open the door. Load the
laundry, making sure that the maximum load
quantity indicated in the table of programmes
(below) is not exceeded.
3. MEASURING OUT DETERGENT/WASHING ADDITIVES
Remove the drawer completely and pour the
detergent into the compartment marked with the
number 2. If required, pour fabric softener and
other additives into the compartment marked with
the number 3. The softener must not rise above
the level of the grille. If you wish to run the
washing programme especially for sportswear
(by setting the timer knob to "auto" or to one of
the positions between "3h and 24h" - see
“Detergents and laundry”), it is also possible to
use powder detergent in compartment 1 for the
pre-wash phase.
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.
5. SELECT THE WASH FABRIC by turning the
PROGRAMME KNOB right or left until the correct
fabric or the "Rinse" programme is selected.
6. SET THE WASHING END TIME by turning the
TIMER KNOB right or left.
The following settings may be used:
- Positions "30 min - 45 min - 60 min": by
selecting one of these times, the duration of the
programme is set.
- Positions between "3h" and "24h": by selecting
one of these times the user selects the number of
hours after which the programme should finish.
The effective duration of the wash is equivalent to
the "auto" cycle duration (see table of
programmes below), but the machine will delay
the start of the cycle automatically to ensure it
ends within the set time period.
- Whenever it is not necessary to set a specific
time for washing to end, select the "AUTO"
position: the machine automatically controls the
duration of the programme, based on the fabric
selected (see table of programmes below).
Regardless of the position selected for the TIMER
KNOB, the "Rinse" programme lasts 15
minutes and begins as soon as the START/
CANCEL
button is pressed.
7. START THE PROGRAMME by pressing the
START/CANCEL button. The "on-off/door lock"
and "programme in progress" indicator lights
will illuminate and remain lit constantly.
During the cycle, the indicator lights provide
information relating to the amount of time
remaining until the end of the programme.
When there are 30, 20 and 10 minutes
respectively remaining until the end of the
programme, the corresponding indicator lights will
illuminate.
8. PROGRAMME END
At the end of the wash programme, all the
indicator lights will switch off. Wait for the door to
become unlocked (the "on-off/door lock"
indicator light flashes), remove the laundry and
leave the door ajar in order to let the drum dry
out. Switch off the machine by pressing the ON/
OFF button.
