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.

“STAIN BLASTER” 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 function of the drum.
The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments. When the detergent
enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a
uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, the speed increases in
order to maximise the cleaning action. Thanks to this special system, the efficiency of the
wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE
PROGRAM.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing
the "Start/Pause" button.

“SENSITIVE CARE” button
By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in 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 this, 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 cleaning action. The amount of water is also
increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This
function has been specifically designed for people with delicate 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 clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,
or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of
detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens/Silk programs.

“DELAY START” button
This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle to delay the 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 display) 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, at which point pressing the button
again will reset the delay start to zero.
“TEMPERATURE” button
The Wash Temperature button allows a reduction in the wash temperature in each
programme.
Each time the button is pressed the temperature decreases until a minimum of 15°C (cold
wash ).
E
“FAST IRON” button
The Fast Iron function (Not available on COTTON programmes) minimizes creases as much
as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics.
MIXED FABRICS - the water is gradually cooled throughout the final two rinses with no
spinning and then a delicate spin assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.
DELICATE FABRICS – after the final two rinses with no spinning the machine stops in the
final rinse stage and the option indicators blink.
The load is held in the water in the drum, thus reducing creasing and enabling easier
ironing.
WOLLENS/SILK – after the final rinse the load is held in the water in the drum, thus
reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing and the option indicators blink.
To complete the cycle press the Fast Iron button and the machine will pump out the water
and complete the cycle.
If you do not want to spin the clothes and activate drain only:
- Turn the programme selector to the "OFF" position;
- Select programme drain only ;
- Switch on the appliance again by pressing the "Start/Pause" button.
D
Confirm by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button (the light on the display starts to flash). The
countdown will begin and when it has finished the programme will start automatically.
It is possible to cancel the delay start by taking the following action:
Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display will show the settings for the
programme selected.
At this stage it is possible to start the programme previously selected by pressing the
“START/PAUSE” button or to cancel the process by setting the selector to the OFF position
and then selecting another programme.
