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. [. . . ] 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. 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 “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 (60°) (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. 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 “Super 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. If you wish to bleach the items insert the additional compartment (4) into compartment 1. When pouring the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. 8 For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level is reached. [. . . ] To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle and set the “Delicate” level from option . We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. 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. [. . . ]
