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. [. . . ] To pause the wash cycle, press the button again; the indicator light will flash in an amber colour. If the symbol is not illuminated, the door may be opened (wait approximately 3 minutes). To start the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted, press the button again. Press the button; 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 and wash cycles on the following page. Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents and laundry”. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these values may be adjusted. 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 “OFF” setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the “OFF” setting). Exception: if the 4 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option has been activated, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start setting, press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display. Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity. Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”). For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensive” level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum rotation. If you desire bleaching, insert the extra tray compartment (4) into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate garments. [. . . ] The programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white clothes over time. 22 Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin 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. [. . . ]
