If the washerdryer 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. [. . . ] To prevent any damage from occurring, wait for the symbol to switch itself off before opening the appliance door. : if the DELAYE TIMER function has been activated, the door cannot be opened; pauses the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it. The first time the machine is switched on, you will be asked to select the language and the display will automatically show the language selection menu. To select the desired language press the X and Y buttons; to confirm the selection press the Z button. To change the language switch off the machine and press buttons X, Y, Z simultaneously until an alarm is heard: the language-selection menu will be displayed again. Press the On/Off button ; the text POWER ON will appear on the display and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green colour. Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum load value indicated in the table of programmes on the following page. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents and laundry”. Press one of the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The machine automatically select the maximum temperature set for the selected wash cycle; this values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash “OFF” setting is reached. Exception: if the 2 (40°) (1st press of the button) programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. To remove the delayed start function press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display. The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the DRYING button once or several times. Two options are available: A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have been dried: Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed. Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as sponges and bathrobes. To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until the text OFF appears on the display. If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle. [. . . ] If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible presence of dust in the air. 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 washerdryer performs the distribution process instead of spinning. [. . . ]
