12 A DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL “Kg DETECTOR” (Function active only on Cotton and Synthetics programmes) Through every wash phase “Kg DETECTOR”allows to monitor information onthe 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 rinsingaccording to the type of fabric selected to be washed it:- adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabricbeing washed- recognises the presence of lather, increasing, if necessary, theamount of water duringrinsing- adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoidingany imbalance. In this way “Kg DETECTOR”is able to decide, by itself, the most suitable programme for each individual wash from thehundreds of possible wash combinations. “Kg DETECTOR” meets the need for easy use by permitting a simplified programme selection. Infact, the user need only tell the machine the type of fabric inthe drum and the degree of soiling, to obtain a perfect washwith the highestlevel of drying possible with a spin which really cares for yourclothes.

PLEASE REFER TO THE PROGRAMMEGUIDE FOR THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE TO WHICH EACHPROGRAMME CAN BE SET.N.B. TO SWITCH THE MACHINE OFF, TURN THE PROGRAMMESELECTOR TO THE “OFF” POSITION. Press the Start/Pause button to start the selected cycle. The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends. Switch off the washing machine by turning the selector to OFF. NOTE: THE PROGRAMME SELECTOR MUST BE RETURN TO THEOFF POSITION AT THE END OF EACH CYCLE OR WHENSTARTING A SUBSEQUENT WASH CYCLE PRIOR TO THENEXT PROGRAMME BEING SELECTED AND STARTED. “WASH TEMPERATURE” BUTTON When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light up to show the recommended wash temperature.The Temperature button can be used to decrease or increasethe temperature of your chosen wash cycle.Each time the button is pressed, the new temperature level isshown on the Wash Temperature Indicator. “SPIN SPEED” BUTTON The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics. Youcan adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximumspeed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled.To reactivate the spin cycle is enough to press the button untilyou reach the spin speed you would like to set.For not damage the fabrics, it is not possible to increase thespeed over that automatically suitable during the selection ofthe program. It is possible to modify the spin speed in any moment, also without to pause the machine. NOTE: THE MACHINE IS FITTED WITH A SPECIAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE,WHICH PREVENTS THE SPIN CYCLE SHOULD THE LOAD BEUNBALANCED. THIS REDUCES THE NOISE AND VIBRATION INTHE MACHINE AND SO PROLONGS THE LIFE OF YOURMACHINE. B
G 14 E EN “DEGREE OF SOILING” BUTTON By selecting this button (active only on COTTON and MIXEDFIBRES programmes) there is a choice of 3 levels of washintensity, depending on how much the fabrics are soiled.Once the programme has been selected the indicator lightwill automatically show the stain level set for thatprogramme. Selecting a different stain level the relevantindicator will light up. For example: Using this button on theRapid Wash cycle will enable you to select either a 14, 30 or44 minute wash cycle. 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 flashesand then goes off. The option buttons should be selected before pressing the START button INTENSIVE BUTTON By pressing this button a sensors system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping it at aconstant level throughout the wash cycle, and themechanical function of the drum.The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucialmoments. When the detergent enters the garments, thedrum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributedin a uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures,however, the speed increases in order to maximise thecleaning action. Thanks to this special system, the efficiencyof the wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASEIN THE LENGTH OF THE PROGRAM. F
I 15 H EN “AQUAPLUS” BUTTON By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Colourfast and Mixed Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats withcare the fibres of garments and the delicate skin of thosewho wear them.The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water andthis, together with the new combined action of the drumrotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will giveyou garments which have been cleaned and rinsed toperfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased sothat the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficientcleaning action. The amount of water is also increasedduring the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces ofdetergent from the fibres.This function has been specifically designed for people withdelicate and sensitive skin, for whom even a very smallamount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.You are advised to also use this function for children’sclothing and for delicate fabrics in general, or whenwashing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tendto absorb a greater quantity of detergent.To ensure the best performance for your wash, this functionis always activated on the Delicates andWoollens/Handwash programs. “DELAY START” BUTTON This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle todelay the start of the cycle for up to 24 hours.
