Prewash cycle increases programme duration approximately 15 min. Consumption values were measured in normalized 
conditions in compliance with Standard IEC 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with respect to the values in 
the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.Add the detergents as described in the programme 
table or in the chapter “Detergents and Additives” in 
the booklet.
1. Open the tap.
2. Set the programme selector 
to the desired 
programme.
3. Set the temperature selector 
to the desired 
temperature.
4. Set the spin selector
 to the desired speed.
5.Special options
 can be selected.
6. Check that the door is well closed and turn on the 
washing machine by pressing the “ON/OFF”
 
button. The indicator lights up, indicating that 
the washing machine is on.
“Eco Wash” button
• The duration of the wash is extended and the 
temperature reduced to save energy maintaining 
good washing results.“Rapid Wash” button
• For quick, economical washes. 
• Ideal for minimum loads of lightly-soiled articles.
Note:
 reduce the detergent quantity.
“Rinse Hold” button
• The laundry remains in the last rinse water 
without progressing to the final spin cycle to 
avoid creasing and prevent colours from 
changing.
• This option is particularly recommended for the 
programme “Synthetics”, “Daily” and “Delicates”.
• This function is particularly useful if you want to 
postpone spinning to a later time, or if you want 
to drain only.
Terminate the “Rinse Hold” option:
• Press the “Rinse Hold” button again; the 
programme will terminate automatically with the 
final spin cycle for the present wash programme.
If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the 
programme selector knob to the “Drain” programme.CONSUMPTION DATA

ADD DETERGENTS, CLOSE THE DOOR AND SELECT THE 
PROGRAMMESELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION
To reselect a programme when a cycle has already 
begun:
1. Switch off the appliance by pressing the 
“ON/OFF
” button.
2. Select the new programme.
3. Start the programme by pressing the 
“ON/OFF
” button.
1. At the end of the programme the programme 
selector moves to the stop position. 
2. To unload the machine wait for the door to 
unlock (about 1 minute).
3. Switch off the appliance, open the door and 
take out the laundry.
4. Close the tap and leave the door ajar to allow 
the drum to dry out.•WATER LEVEL
It may not be visible as the cycle is optimized 
for a minimum water consumption without 
compromising washing results.
•SPIN SPEED CONTROL
Spin speed may be reduced automatically or 
may even be excluded in the case of small 
loads with highly absorbent garments (e.g. 
bathrobes, bathmat).
This control avoids cloth and machine damage 
and excessive vibrations and consequent 
noise produced by the machine due to load 
unbalance: by selecting high spin speeds the 
noise level increases.
•MOTOR NOISE
The running noises of the new, electronically-
controlled motor are not the same as the ones 
you are used to from your old appliance. Don’t 
be surprised - modern technology has a 
modern sound.
•CLEANING THE FILTER
To ensure an impeccable function of the 
pump, check the filter regular and clean it if 
necessary.PROGRAMME CHANGEPROGRAMME END
