WARNING:

 before you use the washing machine for the 

first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, 
using the 90° cottons cycle without pre-wash.

1. 

SWITCH THE MACHINE ON.

 Press the   button. All 

the indicator lights will illuminate for 1 second and the 

text AQUALTIS will appear on the display; the indicator 

light corresponding to the   button will then remain lit in 

a constant manner and the START/PAUSE indicator light 
will flash.

2. 

SELECT THE PROGRAMME.

 Turn the PROGRAMME 

KNOB left or right, until the required programme has 

been selected; the name of the programme will appear 

on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for 

each programme; these may be adjusted. The cycle 
duration will also appear on the display.

3. 

LOAD THE LAUNDRY

. Open the porthole door. 

Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the 
maximum load value indicated in the 

table of wash 

cycles on the following page

.

4. 

MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT.

 Pull out the 

detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into 
the relevant compartments as described in 

“Description 

of the machine”.

5. 

CLOSE THE PORTHOLE DOOR.

6. 

CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. 

Use the relevant 

buttons on the control panel:

Modify the temperature and/or spin 

speed.

  The machine automatically displays the maximum 

temperature and spin speed values set for the selected 
cycle, or the most recently-used settings if they are 
compatible with the selected cycle. 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 “OFF”. If these buttons are 
pressed again, the maximum values are restored. 

!

Exception: if the

 programme is selected, the 

temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the 

corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay 

period has been reached. During the setting procedure, 

the delay period and the text “

Starts in

:” will be 

displayed, along with the flashing   symbol. After the 

delayed start has been set, the   symbol will remain 

fixed on the display, which will also indicate the duration 

of the selected cycle with the text “

Ends in

:” and the 

cycle duration. Press the DELAYED START button just 

once to display the delay time set previously.

After the countdown has begun, the display will show 

the text “

Starts in

:” and the delay period. Once the 

set delay time has elapsed, the machine will begin its 

cycle and the display will show “

Ends in

:” and the time 

remaining until the end of the cycle.

  To remove the delayed start option, press the button 

until the display shows the text OFF; the   symbol will 
disappear.

 Modify the cycle settings.

  •  Press the button to activate the option; the name  

    of the option will then appear on the display and  

    the corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

•  Press the button again to deactivate the option; the 

name of the option will then appear on the display 

followed by the text OFF, and the corresponding 
indicator light will switch off.

!

 If the selected option is not compatible with the 

selected wash cycle, this incompatibility will be signalled 
by the flashing of the indicator light and a sound alert  
(3 beeps); the option will not be activated.

!

 If the selected option is not compatible with another 

option that has been selected previously, the indicator 
light corresponding to the first option selected will 
flash and only the second option will be activated; the 
indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit 
in a constant manner.

!

 The options may affect the recommended load value and/

or the duration of the cycle.

button. The corresponding indicator light remains lit 
in a fixed manner and the porthole door locks (the

during the cycle to indicate which phase is currently in 
progress.

PAUSE button; then select the desired cycle and press 
the START/PAUSE button again.

  To open the door during a wash cycle, press the START/

opened immediately. If the START/PAUSE indicator light 
is flashing, press the button to end the cycle. Open the 
door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine.

Bag for quilts, curtains and delicate garments

The Aqualtis washing machine makes it easier for you 
to wash even the most valuable and delicate garments 
in complete confidence thanks to the special bag which 
protects the laundry (this is supplied with the machine). 
We recommend that the bag is used every time you 

wash 

quilts and padded items with an outer layer made 
using synthetic material.
