Setting the temperature

GB
Press the TEMPERATURE button to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value
set for each wash cycle.

Setting the spin speed

Press the SPIN SPEED button to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle.
The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:
Wash cycles Maximum spin speed
Cottons 1200 rpm
Synthetics 800 rpm
Wool 600 rpm
Silk drain only
The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed
set for each wash cycle.

Functions
The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the
selected wash cycle.

The “PRIME” technology optimises energy, water and time consumption according to the quantity of garments actually inserted in the
machine. Moreover, pressing the button allows for selecting the following options:
- Water: allows for reducing water consumption without having to renounce impeccable results (recommended for heavily
soiled garments).
- Energy: automatically selected by “PRIME”, this option reduces energy consumption (recommended for normally soiled
garments).
- Time: allows for reducing wash cycle duration (recommended for lightly soiled garments).
! This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (all three levels) and 7, 8, 9 (- Energy and - Time levels).
Extra Rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly
useful for sensitive skin.
! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 9, , .
Easy iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end
of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum, while the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indica-
tor lights will flash (blue and orange respectively) and the led will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the
START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycles number 11-13, the machine will end the cycle while the
laundry is soaking; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may
be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.
! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 9, 10, 12, , .
Stain removal
Bleaching cycle designed to remove the toughest stains. Please remember to pour the bleach into extra compartment 4 (see
“Bleach cycle”).
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , .

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump

which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes,
small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the
protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
