Signals for successive refilling:
Once, at the end of a cycle, the level of detergent/fabric
softener falls below the level required for a successive
wash cycle, the display will visualise the relative messages
“At end of cycle refill detergent” or “At end of cycle refill
softener” or “At end of cycle refill tanks”. If the tanks are
not filled, the successive wash cycles in Auto Dose System
will be carried out without any intake of detergent.
! We suggest adding detergent and fabric softener ONLY
after the machine’s signal.
! NEVER mix two different detergents; always clean out
the tank before adding a new type of detergent (refer to
“Cleaning cycle set by the user”).
Using the “Auto Dose System”
If the compartments have been filled with detergent and
fabric softener, you may start using the machine (refer to
“Running a wash cycle”).
Powder detergents for pre-washing and powder
additives may only be used in the traditional mode or
using the “Auto Dose System”, by placing the additives
directly inside the drum, preferably in conjunction with the
“laundry ball”.
Whenever bleaching is required, pour the bleach in the
relative compartment (refer to the option “Super Wash”).
Modifying pre-set parameters:
The machine automatically intakes detergent on the
basis of the selected programme, wash load and water
hardness. However, the amount of detergent/fabric
softener used may be modified.
button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude
detergent intake.
button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude
fabric softener intake.
The level of detergent/fabric softener suggested by the
machine is indicated by 3 bars.
Less than 3 bars indicates a lower level of detergent/
fabric softener compared to that suggested by the
machine, while more than 3 bars indicates a higher level of
detergent/fabric softener.
Cleaning the tanks:
Tank cleaning cycles can either be automatic or pre-set by
the user.
Automatic cleaning:
The washing machine carries out an automatic cleaning
cycle during the rinse cycle if the level of detergent that
remains is insufficient for carrying out a
successive wash cycle.
Cleaning cycle set by the user:
Run the cleaning cycle (with empty drum) if you require
adding a different product to the previous one or if the tanks
have been incorrectly filled (e.g. fabric softener has been
erroneously poured into the detergent tank or vice-versa).
Press button
and hold for 5 sec. to activate cleaning of
the detergent tank, button for cleaning the fabric softener
tank or button for cleaning both tanks. Keep pressing for
a further 3 sec. (the countdown “4-3-2-1” will appear in the
top right corner) until “CLEAN-GO” pops up.
The cleaning cycle lasts about 40’ if the tanks are initially
empty; if not, the cycle will last longer. The icons indicating
that the tanks are empty will appear on the display.
“Traditional” mode
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first stop
point (see picture) then pour the amount of detergent and
other additives (e.g. bleach) required for a single wash cycle
directly into the dispenser.
1. pre-wash compartment: use
powder detergent only.
2. main wash compartment:
use powder or liquid detergent.
If the latter is used, we
recommend pouring it into the
dispenser immediately before
starting the washing machine
and without running a pre-
wash cycle.
3. bleach compartment: to be used whenever bleaching is
required (refer to “Super Wash” option).
Tablet detergent or the relative “laundry ball” must be added
directly inside the drum. In this event, deactivate the “Auto
Dose System” (by pressing the
button until the relative
vertical bars disappear from the display).
Do not pour any fabric softener as the appropriate quantity
required for each wash cycle will be automatically extracted.
To deactivate fabric softener intake, press the button until
the vertical bars disappear from the display.
For wool and silk garments, we recommend using a special
detergent which must be poured directly into the detergent
dispenser (compartment 2).
Running the wash cycle:
Select the programme and the compatible options on the
basis of the required need and type of load.
