All the indicator lights will illuminate for 1 second, after which the light corresponding to the button will remain lit constantly, while the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly. Load the laundry, making sure that the maximum load quantity indicated in the table of programmes (below) is not exceeded. Pull out the drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in Description of the machine. Turn the PROGRAMME knob left or right to select the required programme, to which a set temperature and spin speed are linked (these values may all be modified).

Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special "Duvets" programme. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used in conjunction with the detergent dispenser drawer. Preparing the laundry Unfold all items of laundry before placing them in the machine. Divide the laundry according to type of material (the symbol on the garment label) and colour, making sure that whites are separated from coloured garments. Do not exceed the values indicated in the Table of Programmes, which refer to the weight of the laundry items when they are dry. How much does your laundry weigh? 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 sheet pillowcase tablecloth bathrobe towel pair of jeans shirt 400 150 400 900 150 400 150 - 500 g 200 g 500 g 1200 g 250 g 500 g 200 g Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the bag provided and set the programme to "Duvets". Bathroom laundry and bedlinen: this washing machine can be used to wash any domestic laundry in a single cycle called Bed & Bath that optimises the use of fabric softener while saving both time and electricity. Stubborn stains: stubborn stains should be treated with solid soap before the garment is washed (use the Cotton programme with pre-wash phase). Load-balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. If, after several 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 washing machine continues at distribution speed only instead of the full spin speed. In order to achieve better load distribution and balance, we recommend that large and small garments are mixed when placing the laundry in the machine. Washing advice Shirts: use a suitable programme to wash shirts made from different fabrics and in different colours. Use the "Silk" programme. 8 Precautions and tips This machine was designed and manufactured in compliance with cuurent international safety standards.
