Running a wash cycle
1 . SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the
button; 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. Set the WASH
CYCLE knob to the desired programme; 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 displays the
maximum temperature and spin speed values set
for the selected cycle, or the most recently-used
settings if they are compatible with the selected
cycle. 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 option press
the button until the text "OFF" appears on the
display.
Modifying the cycle settings.
• Press the button to enable the option; the
indicator light corresponding to the button will
switch on.
• Press the button again to disable the option; the
indicator light will switch off.
 If the selected option is not compatible with the
programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will
flash and the option will not be activated.
 If the selected option is not compatible with
another option which has been selected previously,
the indicator light corresponding to the first option
selected will flash and only the second option will be
activated; the indicator light corresponding to the
enabled option will remain lit.
 The options 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). To change a wash cycle while
it is in progress, pause the washing machine 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" 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.
