If the washing machine is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features.  Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. [. . . ] A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of bleach. Pour the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled “Detergent dispenser drawer”). Mix 30’(wash cycle 5) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. Mix 15’(wash cycle 6) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (6 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1. 6 Personalisation Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle. Setting the temperature GB Functions The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time. The function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated. Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle. Spin Cycle Exclusion The washing machine will not carry out the spin cycle, but rather a drum spin at medium speed to assist water draining.  This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 10, E. Easy iron By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the EASY IRON and START/ phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. 1 2 compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle. Extra compartment 3: Bleach 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 greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load. Bleach cycle Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7. [. . . ] Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently. Unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal; Caring for the door and drum of your appliance • Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance. [. . . ]
