If the washing machine is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it. Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. [. . . ] Furthermore, before the machine enters “Standby” mode, the icon will light up for a few seconds; when the machine is switched off the estimated energy saving will be around the 80% mark. 7 Running a wash cycle EN WARNING: before you use the washing machine for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the 90° cottons cycle without pre-wash. All the indicator lights will illuminate for 1 second; the indicator light corresponding to the button will then remain lit in a fixed manner and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly. Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum load value indicated in the table of wash cycles on the following page. Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Description of the machine”. Turn the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB right or left, until you have selected the desired wash cycle. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be adjusted. Use the relevant buttons on the control panel: 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 ( ) setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded ( ). Exception: if the programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. During the setting process, the delay time is shown on the display and the symbol flashes. After selecting a delayed start time, the fixed symbol and the cycle duration will appear on the display. To remove the delayed start option, press the button until the display shows the text OFF; the symbol will disappear. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the time delay may only be decreased. Press the OPTION buttons to customise the wash cycle in accordance with your own requirements. € Press the button to activate the option; the corresponding indicator light will switch on. € Press the button again to disable the option; the indicator light will switch off. If the selected option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle, this incompatibility will be signalled by the flashing of the indicator light and a sound alert (3 beeps); the option will not be activated. If the selected option is not compatible with another option that has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first option selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit in a constant manner. The corresponding indicator light remains lit in a fixed manner and the porthole door locks (the LOCK indicator light illuminates). [. . . ] The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks. 10 Trouble shooting Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list. Possible causes / Solutions: • The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact. [. . . ]
