indicator light will ash.
! If the selected option is incompatible with another previously set
option, only the most recent selection will remain active.
Freshcare+
If associated with wash cycles, this option increases their performances by
generating steam to block proliferation of the main sources of unpleasant
odours inside the appliance (exclusively for the wash). After the steam
phase, the machine runs a delicate cycle with slow drum rotations. When
the Freshcare+ option is associated with drying cycles, it prevents
stubborn creases from stabilising on garments, thanks to slow drum
rotations.
The FreshCare+ cycle starts at the end of the wash or drying cycle and
continues for maximum 6 hours; it can be interrupted at any time by
pressing any button on the control panel, or by turning the knob. Wait
roughly 5 minutes before opening the door.

h.
symbol lights on the display when this
function is enabled. To cancel the delayed start, press the button again
until the value “0” is shown on the display.
Temperature
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the
temperature, press the “” button. The value will appear on the display.
Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,
press the “ ” button. The value will appear on the display.
Setting the drying cycle
The rst time the button “ ” is pressed, the machine will automatically
select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected
wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then the
drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”).
Drying may be set as follows:
A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Cupboard : suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard
without being ironed.
Hanger : ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Iron : suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
B - Based on a set time period: between 210 and 30 minutes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the
maximum stated load (see adjacent table of wash cycles), perform the
wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into
groups and put some of them back in the drum.
At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle.
Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load. Note: a cooling-down
period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Press button “” to perform the drying-only cycle. After selecting the
desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments), press button “”
to exclude the washing phase and start the drying phase at the maximum
level for the selected cycle. The drying level or time may be set and
changed by pressing the drying button “ ”.
CHILD LOCK

the display.
To unlock the control panel, press and hold the button “” for
approximately 3 seconds.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and
the drum. Check all buttons.
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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine
o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washer - dryer
periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Disconnect the water and power supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Clean the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned
using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated
frequently.
Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant
odours from forming.
Check the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it
must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water
could suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
Cleaning the water lter / draining residual water
Switch o and unplug the washing machine, take out the kitchen
plinth before cleaning the water lter or draining residual water.
The kitchen plinth must be mounted back all the time once the cleaning
operation is over.
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.
1 . Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.
2 . Remove, pulling it out, the “emergency drain hose” from the
base of the washing machine .
Remove the stopper of the “emergency drain hose” at the end of the
hose and let the water ow into the container.
3 . Turn the exhaust lter handle and pull it out of the housing .
When the container of plinth is full with water, plug the stopper to
the hose end, and reinsert the small hose in the washing machine’s
base . After, empty the container .
Afterwards rmly close the emergency drain hose with the stopper .
4. Remove lter: 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 anticlockwise .
5 . Clean the water lter: remove residues in the lter and clean it
under running water .
6 . Insert the water lter: 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 .

Then reinstall the kitchen plinth.
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously
at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If,
after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine
spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the
washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To
encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small
and large garments are mixed in the load.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and
detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose
from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water
remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get
damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in
reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the
“Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.
