“KG DETECTOR”
(Function active only on Cotton and Synthetics programmes)
Through every wash phase “KG DETECTOR”allows  to monitor information on
the wash load in the drum.
So, as soon as the  “KG DETECTOR” is set in motion, in the first 4 minutes of the wash, it:
- adjusts the amount of water required
- determines the length of the wash cycle
- controls rinsing
according to the type of fabric selected to be washed it:
- adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabric bei ng washed
- recognises the presence of lather, increasing, if necessary, the  amount of water during
rinsing
- adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoiding  any imbalance.
In this way  “KG DETECTOR” is able to decide, by itself, the most suitable programme for
each individual wash from the hundreds of possible wash combina tions.
“KG DETECTOR” meets the need for easy use by permitting a simplified programme
selection. In fact, the user need only tell the machine the  type of fabric in the drum and the
degree of soiling, to obtain a perfect wash with the hig hest level of drying possible with a spin
which really cares for your clothes.

“STAIN VANISH” Button
By pressing this button, which can only be activated in the  Cotton cycles, the sensors in the
new system come into operation. They affect both the selected  temperature, keeping it at a
constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical f unction of the drum.
The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial mome nts. When the detergent
enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the de tergent is distributed in a
uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, t he speed increases in
order to maximise the cleaning action. Thanks to this special syste m, the efficiency of the
wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE
PROGRAM.
D
The option buttons should be selected before pressing
the Start/Pause button.
“ALLERGY CARE” button 
By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle i n the Cotton  and Mixed
Fabrics  programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats with  care the fibres of
garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.
The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and t his, together with the new combined
action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and  emptied, will give you garments which
have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of  water in the wash is increased so that
the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient clean ing action. The amount of water is also
increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of d etergent from the fibres. This
function has been specifically designed for people with del icate and sensitive skin, for whom even
a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.
You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothi ng and for delicate fabrics in general,
or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibre s tend to absorb a greater quantity of
detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this fu nction is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens/Hand Wash programs.
E
F
“DELAY START” button 
This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle to delay t he start of the cycle for up
to 24 hours. 
To delay the start use the following procedure:
Set the required programme.
Press the button once to activate it (h00 appears on the displ ay) and then press it again to set
a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay  increases by 1 hour each time
the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, a t which point pressing the button
again will reset the delay start to zero.
Confirm by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button (the light on the di splay starts to flash). The
countdown will begin and when it has finished the progra mme will start automatically.
8
“DOOR SECURITY” indicator light 
The “Door Security ” indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully close d and the machine is ON.
When  Start/Pause  is pressed on the machine with the door closed the indicator  will flash
momentarily and then illuminate. 
If the door is not closed the indicator will continue to fl ash.
A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immed iately after the end of the cycle.
Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the  “Door Security ” light has gone out
before opening the door. At the end of the cycle turn the  programme selector to OFF .
B
NOTE:
few seconds after the start the wash cycle will begin.
During the first 4 minutes of the wash cycle, the kG
DETECTOR (active only on cotton and synthetics
programmes) will weigh the clothes and update the
maximum wash time remaining on the display every five
seconds until the weight has been determined. While this
function is operating  the “kG DETECTOR” indicator is on.
C

“SPIN SPEED” button 
The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible fro\
m the laundry without
damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the  machine to suit your needs.
By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed , and if you wish, the spin cycle
can be cancelled. To reactivate the spin cycle press the button  until you reach the spin speed you
would like to set. To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is n ot possible to increase the speed over
that which is automatically suitable during the selection of  the program.
It is possible to modify the spin speed without to pausing  the machine.
Note: 
The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which prevents
the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced. This reduces the noise
and vibration in the machine and so prolongs the life of your machine.
I
“DIGITAL” Display
The display’s indicator system allows you to be constantly informed  about the status of the machine:
1) WASH TEMPERATURE
When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light  up to show the recommended
wash temperature. The Temperature button can be used to decrea se or increase the
temperature of your chosen wash cycle. Each time the button is presse d, the new
temperature level is shown on the Wash Temperature Indicator.
2) DOOR LIGHT
Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed the light first fl ashes then stops flashing
and remains on until the end of the wash. 2 minutes after  the end of the wash the light goes
off to show that the door can now be opened.
3) SPIN SPEED
Once the programme has been selected, the maximum spin speed allo wed for that
programme appears on the display.  Pressing the spin button wil l reduce the speed by 100
rpm each time the button is pressed. The minimum speed allowed  is 400 rpm, or it is
possible to omit the spin by pressing the spin button repeate dly.
4) DELAY START LIGHT
This flashes when delay start has been set.
5) CYCLE DURATION
When a programme is selected the display automatically shows the  cycle duration, which
can vary, depending on the options selected. Once the progra mme has started you will be
kept informed constantly of the time remaining to the end of  the wash. 
If is selected the automatic washing/drying, at the end of  the wash phase, the drying time
remaining to the end will be shown on the display.
L
Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while
the machine is operating, a special memory stores the
selected programme and, when the power is restored, it
continues where it left off.
10
It is possible to cancel the delay start by taking the follow ing action:
Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display wil l show the settings for the
programme selected.
At this stage it is possible to start the programme previously select ed by pressing the
“START/PAUSE” button or to cancel the process by setting the selector  to the OFF position

6) KG DETECTOR indicator
Available on Cotton and Synthetic cycles, during the first 4 minutes of the cycle the intelligent
sensor will weigh the laundry and adjust the cycle time, wate r and electricity consumption
accordingly.
7) DRYING PROGRAMME INDICATORS
The indicators display the type of the drying programme:
Candy washer dryers incorporate an Automatic Sensor Drying function wh ich takes the
guesswork out of setting the drying time. You simply select the  degree of dryness you
require and the dryer automatically switches off when that leve l is reached. For added
flexibility there are 3 Sensor Drying levels to choose from:
= Extra dry programme 
=  Cupboard dry programme
=  Iron dry programme
USEFUL TIPS:
Once the programme option has been selected, press the Start Pause  button. The appliance
will then calculate the time to the end of the selected  programme based upon a full dry load.
During the cycle the appliance will update the time to sui t the actual load size and dampness
of the fabrics.
T
imed programmes:
Alternatively you may select a pre-determined time for the drying cycle . The Timed Drying
programmes may be set to the following times:
120 minutes – 90 minutes – 60 minutes – 30 minutes:
Cool down phase
:
A 10 minute cool down phase occurs at the end of each drying cycl e to ensure clothes are
not too hot to touch when the cycle finishes.
8) STAIN LEVEL
When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light  up to show the minimum
possible Stain Level.
Selecting a greater Stain Level using the special button wil l cause the corresponding indicator to
light up.

Buttons indicator light 
These light up when the relevant buttons are pressed.
If an option is selected that is not compatible with the  selected programme then the light on
the button first flashes and then goes off. 
O
“STAIN LEVEL” button
By selecting this button (active only on COTTON and MIXED FIBRES p rogrammes) there is
a choice of 3 levels of wash intensity, depending on how  much the fabrics are soiled.
Once the programme has been selected the indicator light will  automatically show the
minimum level required for that programme. Pressing the button incre ases the duration of the
wash cycle, and adjusts the wash settings accordingly.  For exampl e: Using this button on
the Rapid Wash cycle will enable you to select either a 14,  30 or 44 minute wash cycle.
M

Today, most detergents have been improved to wash
efficiently at lower temperatures, therefore we have set the
default temperature settings of each programme to a lower
level, saving electricity and reducing the carbon footprint of
your machine. 
You can select an high temperature by pressing the
temperature button.
Please refer to the programme guide for the maximum
temperature to which each programme can be set.
