“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. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that
the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also
increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This
function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even
a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.
You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,
or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of
detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens/Handwash programs.
E
“COLD WASH” button
By pressing this button it is possible to transform every programme into a cold washing one,
without modifying other characteristics (water level, times, rythmes, etc...).
Curtains, small carpets, man made delicate fabrics, non coulor fast garments can be safely
washed thanks to this new device.
D
Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while
the machine is operating, a special memory stores the
selected programme and, when the power is restored, it
continues where it left off.

“DELAY START” button
This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle to delay the start of the cycle for up
to 24 hours.
To delay the start use the following procedure:
Set the required programme.
Press the button once to activate it (h00 appears on the display) and then press it again to set
a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay increases by 1 hour each time
the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, at which point pressing the button
again will reset the delay start to zero.
Confirm by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button (the light on the display starts to flash). The
countdown will begin and when it has finished the programme will start automatically.
It is possible to cancel the delay start by taking the following action:
Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display will show the settings for the
programme selected.
At this stage it is possible to start the programme previously selected by pressing the
“START/PAUSE” button or to cancel the process by setting the selector to the OFF position
and then selecting another programme.
“SPIN SPEED” button
The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without
damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.
By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle
can be cancelled.
To reactivate the spin cycle press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set.
To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that which is
automatically suitable during the selection of the program.
It is possible to modify the spin speed without to pausing the machine.
Note:
The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which
prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced.
This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so
prolongs the life of your machine.
10
“DIGITAL” Display
The display’s indicator system allows you to be constantly informed about the status of the
machine:
1) SPIN SPEED
Once the programme has been selected, the maximum spin speed allowed for that
programme appears on the display. Pressing the spin button will reduce the speed by 100
rpm each time the button is pressed. The minimum speed allowed is 400 rpm, or it is
possible to omit the spin by pressing the spin button repeatedly.
2) DELAY START LIGHT
This flashes when delay start has been set.
3) “DOOR SECURITY” indicator light
The “Door Security” indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully closed and the machine is ON.
When "Start/Pause" is pressed on the machine with the door closed the indicator will flash
momentarily and then illuminate.
If the door is not closed the indicator will continue to flash.
A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle.
Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the “Door Security” light has gone out
before opening the door. At the end of the cycle turn the programme selector to "OFF" .
4) CYCLE DURATION
When a programme is selected the display automatically shows the cycle duration, which
can vary, depending on the options selected.
Once the programme has started you will be kept informed constantly of the time remaining
to the end of the wash.
The appliance calculates the time to the end of the selected programme based upon a
standard loading, during the cycle, the appliance corrects the time to that applicable to the
size and composition of the load.

COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 40°C
These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most
efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing
cotton laundry.
These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the wash
label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from the declared
temperature of the cycle.
The spin speed may also be reduced, to match any guidelines suggested on the
fabric label, or for very delicate fabrics cancel the spin completely this option is
available with a spin speed button.

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).
RESISTANTS FABRICS
The Cotton programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing
efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the programme guarantees the
laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry
as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
The Cotton programme includes a Prewash cycle. This option is
particularly useful for really dirty loads and can be used independently of
the main wash programme. Additional detergent for the Prewash part of
the programme should be added to the first compartment of the soap
drawer labelled "I" (please refer to the section of this manual entitled
“Detergent”). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used for
the main wash programme.
DAILY WASH 30°C – FAST 30’
A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in
approximately 30 minutes:
- a maximum load of 2/2,5 kg;
- lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)
We recommend, with this programme, a 20% detergent loading dose
(compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.
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 3/3,5 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.
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.
SPECIAL “SPIN” PROGRAMME
Programme “SPIN” carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced by
using the correct button).
15
DRAIN ONLY
This programme drains out the water.
MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS
The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation
rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.
A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.
ACTIVECO PROGRAMME
This innovative programme, allows you to wash different
fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, synthetics
and mixed fabrics at only 20°C and provides an excellent
leaning performance.
Consumption on this programs about 40% of a
conventional 40°C. cottons wash.
SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking
and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics.
The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels
to ensure best results.
WOOL & HAND WASH PROGRAMME
This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments
specified as "Machine Washable"Wool fabrics and laundry items
specified as "Hand Wash only" on the fabric label.
The programme has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes
with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a slow
spin.
16
Auto half load
The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system.
This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the
laundry in relation to the particular load.
This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used, without in any way compromising
the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load.
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst
respecting the environment .
Detergent drawer
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.
NOTE:
Some Detergents are Difficult to
utilise. Ensure to use an in drum
dispenser if recommended by
the detergent Manufacturer.
Note: only put liquid products in the compartment
labelled “ ”. The machine is programmed to
automatically take up additives during the final rinse
stage for all wash cycles.

17
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.
- Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.
Additional laundry aids
- Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as
hard to very hard.
- Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash.
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free
detergents.
- Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.
If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.
Do not put solvents in the washing machine!
Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent
drawer.
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.
18
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.
- the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on
the degree of soiling.
- amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a
small amount of laundry.
Dosage for powder detergent
For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a
programme without prewash.
Put the detergent in compartment “2” of the drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.
Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment “1”, 3/4 in compartment “2” of the drawer.
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compartment “2”.
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow what is shown on pack
exactly as regards type and amount of dosage.
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids
provided in the detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent dosage
Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is
placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.
19
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.
Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes
When is prewashing really needed?
Only with particularly dirty loads!
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled
laundry.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C.
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than
90°C
