CORRECT WASHING PROCEDURE
Before using the washing machine, make sure that it has been installed correctly as reported
in the instruction book.
Daily use
1. Before placing the washing in the washing machine, make sure that there are no hard pointed
objects in the pockets (nails, screws, coins, pins, stones, etc.) as these can damage both the
clothing and the applianace.
2. To improve the performance of the wash, place the washing loosely in the drum without compress-
ing it. Do not overload the machine. A full load of particularly absorbent material such as bathrobes
and towelling can unbalance the washing machine during the spin phase.
The automatic load-balancing system distributes the washing as evenly as possible and automati-
cally sets the best spin speed to reduce vibrations to a minimum.
3. Close the door, making sure that no washing has become trapped between the door and the gasket.
4. Place the correct amount of detergent in the appropriate dispenser 2. When using a liquid detergent,
insert the partition supplied. If the Prewash function is required, add detergent to compartment 1.
Add softener to the compartment marked with the symbol . After adding the detergent, gently
close the detergent drawer.
5. Use knob I to select a wash programme suitable for the type of fabric, following the instructions
reported in the Programme Table. The LCD will display the duration of the selected programme
and the maximum load. The remaining time may vary during the course of the wash programme
in accordance with the load in the drum. At the end of the cycle, the word End will appear on the
display.
6. The spin speed automatically selected by the programme can be changed by pressing button C.
Button B is used to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to 16 hours. Both values appear on the
LCD display.
7. Buttons D, E, F and G are used to select the extra functions. The options selected appear on the
LCD display. The duration of the wash cycle varies according to which options have been selected.
8. To start the wash cycle, press the Start button H. The LCD will display the duration of the cycle
and the maximum load. The Easy Logic system updates the remaining cycle time in accordance
with the actual load in the drum.
9. At the end of the wash cycle, the word End will appear on the display. Place knob I in the Stop
position and open the door to remove the washing.
10. The washing machine can be reset at any time by placing knob I in the Stop position.
