Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing machine. [. . . ] TEMPERATURE knob: sets the temperature or the cold wash cycle (see “Personalisation”). SPIN SPEED knob: sets the spin speed or exclude the spin cycle completely (see “Personalisation”). WASH CYCLE PROGRESS/DELAY TIMER indicator lights: used to monitor the progress of the wash cycle. If the Delay Timer function has been set, the time remaining until the wash cycle starts will be indicated (see next page). If a function which is incompatible with another function selected previously, only the most recent selection will remain active. Lid locked indicator light If this indicator light is on, the appliance door is locked to prevent it from being opened accidentally; to avoid any damage, wait for the indicator light to switch off (it will take about three minutes) before you open the appliance door. If the DELAY TIMER function is activated, the door cannot be opened; pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it. If the START/PAUSE indicator light (orange) flashes rapidly at the same time as the function indicator light, this indicates a problem has occurred (see “Troubleshooting”). GB B) Opening the drum (Soft opening): With one finger, push the button indicated in fig. 4): - close the drum fully by first shutting the front door followed by the rear one; - then ensure the hooks on the front door are perfectly housed within the seat of the rear door; - after the hooks have clicked into position, press both doors lightly downwards to make sure they do not come loose; - finally shut the external lid. All the indicator lights will turn on for a few seconds, then only the indicator lights relative to the selected programme settings will remain lit and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash. Start the wash cycle by pressing the START/PAUSE button and the corresponding indicator light will remain lit in a fixed manner, in green. To cancel the set wash cycle, pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button and select a new cycle. The LID LOCKED indicator light will switch off, indicating that the door may be opened. Take out your laundry and leave the appliance door ajar to make sure the drum dries completely.

The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected. 1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C. 2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C. [. . . ] Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked. Compartment 4: 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. [. . . ]
