FIRST TIME USE
To remove any manufacturing debris select the 3 programme at a
temperature of 90°C. Pour a small quantity of detergent powder into the
main wash 2 compartment of the detergent dispenser (maximum 1/3 of
the quantity the detergent manufacturer recommends for lightly soiled
laundry). Start the programme without adding any laundry.
DAILY USE
Prepare your laundry according to the recommendations in the “HINTS
AND TIPS” section. Load the laundry, close the door, open the water
tap and press the “ON/OFF” button to switch the washing machine
on, the “Start/Pause” button ashes. Turn the programme selector

The machine will lock the door ( symbol on) and the drum will start
to rotate; the door will be unlocked ( symbol OFF) and then locked
again ( symbol on) as preparation phase of each washing cycle. The
“Clicking” noise is part of the door locking mechanism. Water will enter
the drum and start the washing phase once the door is locked.
PAUSE A RUNNING PROGRAMME
To pause the wash cycle, press the “Start/Pause” ; the indicator light
will go o and the remaining time on display ash. To start the wash cycle
from the point at which it was interrupted press the button again.
OPEN THE DOOR, IF REQUIRED
After starting a programme, the “Door locked” indicator lights up to

the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the
corresponding indicator light will ash.
! If the selected option is incompatible with another previously set
option, only the most recent selection will remain active.
Energy saver
This option saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your
laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy
bill. Instead, intensied wash action and water optimisation ensure
great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid
detergent.

Cleaning Action
Option “Cleaning Action” makes it possible to optimise washing based
on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.
For heavily-soiled garments press “Cleaning Action” button until the
“ ” level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due
to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and
due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most
stubborn stains. For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment
of the fabrics, press “Cleaning Action” button until the “ ” level is
reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results
that are perfect for delicate garments.
Multi Rinse
By selecting this option, the eciency of the rinse is increased and
optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for
sensitive skin. Press the button once, two or three times to select an
additional 1 , 2 or 3 rinses after the standard cycle rinse and
remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again to go back to the
“Normal rinse” rinse type.

HINTS AND TIPS
Sort your laundry according to
Type of fabric/care label (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, handwash
items). Colour (separate coloured and white items, wash new coloured
items separately). Delicates (wash small items – like nylon stockings – and
items with hooks – like bras – in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip).
Empty all pockets
Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the drum.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus
detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of
surplus detergent
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are
generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the
“PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are inuenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning
speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the
remaining moisture content.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For any cleaning and maintenance, switch o and unplug the washing
machine. Do not use ammable uids to clean the washing machine.
Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times
per year).
Cleaning the outside of the washing machine
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine.
Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar
to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the printing.
Checking the water supply hose
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged,
replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or
your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type: If the inlet hose has
a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensies locally. If
yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced
Cleaning the water lter / draining residual water
If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down
before draining any water. Clean the water lter regularly, to avoid that the
water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the lter. If the water
cannot drain, the display indicates that the water lter may be clogged.
Place a broad, at container beneath the water lter, to collect the drain
water. Slowly turn the lter counterclockwise until water ows out. Let
the water ow out, without removing the lter. When the container is
full, close the water lter by turning it in clockwise. Empty the container.
Repeat this procedure until all the water has drained. Lay a cotton cloth
beneath the water lter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water.
Then remove the water lter by turning it out anti clockwise. Clean the
water lter: remove residues in the lter and clean it under running wa-
ter. Reinsert the water lter again by turning it in clockwise direction.
Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the lter handle must be in vertical
position. To test water tightness of the water lter, you can pour about 1
liter of water into the detergent dispenser.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Never lift the washing machine by holding it at the worktop.
Pull out the mains plug, and close the water tap. Make sure that door
and detergent dispenser are properly closed. Disconnect the inlet hose
from the water tap, and remove the drain hose from your draining point.
Remove all rest water from the hoses, and x them so that they cannot
get damaged during transport. Ret the transport bolts. Follow the
instructions for removing the transport bolts in the Installation Guide in
reverse order.
