How to run a wash cycle or a 

drying 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 and wash cycles 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. Use the WASH CYCLE 

SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle. A 

temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; 

these values may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle 

will appear on the display.

6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant 

buttons:

  Modify 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.  

! Exception: if the 7 programme is selected, the 

temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

  ! Exception: if the 9 programme is selected, the 

temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°C.

  Setting the drying cycle 

The first time the button 

 is pressed, the machine will 

automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is 

compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent 

presses will decrease the drying level and then the 

drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely 

(“OFF”). 

  Drying may be set as follows:

  A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:

  Iron “A1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing 

afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, 

making them easier to remove.

  Hanger “A2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be 

dried fully.

  Cupboard “A3”: suitable for laundry which can be put 

back in a cupboard without being ironed.

B - Based on a set time period: between 45 and 210 

minutes.

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much 

greater than the maximum stated load, perform the 

wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the 

garments into groups and put some of them back in 

the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided 

for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the 

remainder of the load. A cooling-down period is always 

added to the end of each drying cycle.

Drying only

Press button 

 to perform the drying-only cycle. 

After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with 

the type of garments), press button 

 to exclude 

the washing phase and start the drying phase at the 

maximum level for the selected cycle. The drying level 

or time may be set and changed by pressing the drying 

button 

 . (Not compatible with cycles 1-2-3-4 and 

14).
Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the 

corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay 

period has been reached. To remove the delayed start 

setting, press the button until the text “OFF” appears on 

the display.
Set the desired wash intensity.

Option 

 makes it possible to optimise washing 

based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired 

wash cycle intensity. For heavily-soiled garments press 

 button until the “Intensive” level is reached. This 

level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger 

quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle 

and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when 

removing the most stubborn stains. 

It can be used with or without bleach. If you desire 

bleaching, insert the extra tray compartment (3). When 

pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the 

“max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. 

10).

For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment 

of the fabrics, press 

 button until the “Délicate” 

level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation 

to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate 

garments. 

7. START THE WASH CYCLE. Press the START/

PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light will 

turn green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the 

door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED 

symbol will 

be lit). To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, 

pause the washer-dryer using the START/PAUSE 

button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash 

slowly in an amber 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.
