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. [. . . ] 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”. Use the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR knob to select the desired 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. Use the relevant buttons: Modifying the temperature and/or spin speed. The machine automatically selects the maximum temperature and spin speed set for the selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash (the display will visualise the “--” symbol) setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the display will visualise the “--” symbol). Exception: if the 3 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. Exception: if the 4 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°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 “-- h” 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. For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensive Wash” 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. For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate wash” level is reached. The cycle will reduce the drum rotation to ensure washing results are perfect for delicate garments. Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra +1” level, which makes it possible to select an additional rinse after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again for the “Extra +2” level, which makes it possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the third time, the “Extra +3” level is set, thus allowing the selection of 3 rinses in addition to the standard cycle’s rinses. The option - started with cycles at a temperature of 40°C - makes it possible to remove major allergens such as pollen, cat and dog hair. [. . . ] To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load. Ultra Delicates: use programme 7 to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins. We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates.
