Notes
-For programmes 8 and 9, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5 kg.
-For programme 13 we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2 kg.
-For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. The information contained in the table is purely indicative.
Special programme
Daily Refresh (programme 11 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it
only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (11 at 30°C), you can
wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Setting the temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 18). GB
The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ).

Setting the spin speed

Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the programme selected.
The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows:
Programmes Maximum spin speed
Cottone 1000 rpm
Synthetics 800 rpm
Wool 600 rpm
Silk no

The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting symbol .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum speed for each
programme.

Note. To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by conti-
nuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed.
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set
frequency.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.
The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

Functions
To enable a function:
1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated.

Note: The rapid flashing of the button indicates that the corresponding function cannot be selected for the programme set.

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 24), make sure the problem can’t easily
be solved by consulting the following list. GB

Problem Possible causes/Solution:

The washing machine won’t start. • The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to
make contact.
• There has been a power failure.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the
appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of
a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing machine to load
and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special
anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.
