A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle.
The option buttons should be selected before pressing the "Start/Pause" button. D STAIN BLASTER Button By pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the new system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping it at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum. The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments.
F SENSITIVE CARE button By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats with care the fibres of garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them. The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection.

Choosing a smaller spin speed by the appropriate button, the relevant indicator light will go on.

TABLE OF PROGRAMMES PROGRAM FOR PROGRAMMES SELECTOR ON: WEIGHT MAX Kg RECOMMENDED TEMP. °C MAX TEMP.
Please read these notes When washing heavily soiled laundry it is recommended the load is reduced to 4 kg maximum. * Programme recommended for normally soiled loads with a temperature of 40°C at 1200rpm spin speed. Programme tested in accordance with AS/NZS 2040. The variable temperature button allows a reduction in the wash temperature in each programme.
Programme selector For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and lenght of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes). “ALL IN ONE” PROGRAMME This is an exclusive system and involves 2 great advantages for the consumer: • to be able to wash together different type of fabrics (e.g. cotton + synthetic etc…) FAST COLOUREDS; • to wash with a considerable energy saving.
SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing. This program can be also used as cycle of Bleaching (see table of washing cycle programmes). SPECIAL “SPIN” PROGRAMME Programme “SPIN” carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced by using the correct button). DRAIN ONLY This programme drains out the water.
DAILY WASH 40°C – FAST 44’ A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in approximately 44 minutes: - a maximum load of 3,5 kg; - lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics) We recommend, with this programme, a 30% detergent loading dose (compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.
Detergent drawer Q The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments: - the compartment labelled "1" is for prewash detergent; - the compartment labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc; - the compartment labelled "2" is for main wash detergent. If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special container supplied into the compartment marked “2” in the detergent drawer.
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice of detergent General purpose detergents - - Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil. These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain bleach.
Dosages Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine. You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose. The amount of detergent to use depends on: - water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.
Useful advice for users Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way Do a full load in your washing machine To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the recommended maximum load size.
Main wash Sorting the laundry - It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items. - If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
The correct way to wash Preparing the laundry A) Select the laundry. Loading the laundry B) Open the porthole. C) Put the laundry in the washing machine. Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of laundry are obstructing the lock. Putting detergent in machine D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in the correct amount, according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the advice on page 18. Add any other laundry aids (see page 18). Close the drawer again.
Cleaning and routine maintenance Do not use alcohol-based scourers and / or thinners on the outside of your washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance: - Cleaning the drawer compartments. - Cleaning the filter. - Cleaning the door glass. Cleaning the drawer compartments Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the compartments for bleaching detergents and additives occasionally.
Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the following page to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter. Cleaning the door glass Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door. Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.

Note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects: - waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected; - presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric. - The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing.
