Important
We recommend you load your
washing machine to the maximum
level, to economise on water and
power.
We advise washing items of different
sizes together whenever possible, as
this optimises the washing process
and favours the distribution of the
load inside the drum on spin-drying,
reducing noise.
Wash small delicate items in a net
bag.
SORTING THE CLOTHES
If you wish to use the
drying programme, first
check that the fabric is
suitable for machine-
drying. Consult the label.
Check your
woollens are
machine-
washable
before
washing them.
Important
a The detergent drawer of your washing
machine is divided into 3 compartments.
b Before washing, place the detergent and
additives in their corresponding
compartments.
c You can also use liquid detergents in the
washing machine. To do this, use the
optional compartment, which you can
acquire by contacting the Technical
Assistance Service.
Install this optional compartment in place
of the wash compartment.
The compartments are marked with
a MAX line to show the maximum
level to which they can be filled.
Remember that the amount of detergent to
be used depends on:
The amount of clothes to be washed.
How dirty the clothes are.
The hardness of the water (to find out the
water hardness in your area, contact the
relevant local authorities).
We recommend you use an anti-scale
product if you live in a hard water
area.

ImportantImportant
Remember you can buy concentrated
detergents which are more nature- and
environment-friendly.
Using more detergent will not give you
better wash results, and as well as
costing you money it will also have a
negative effect on the environment.
We strongly recommend you follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

SELECTING THE COMPLEMENTARY FUNCTIONS
using the appliance and practical tips
SPIN SPEED SELECTION
This option, specially recommended for heavily
soiled, stained clothes, achieves better results
by extending the normal wash cycle.
The programme selected is associated with
a certain spin speed.
a To change it, turn the spin speed selector.
b No spin
Turn the spin speed selector to the “0”
position to obtain a programme with no
final spin, used to prevent particularly
delicate fabrics from creasing.
INTENSIVE WASH
The wash programme stops on the last rinse,
with the clothes left in water. When the function
is deactivated, the washing machine continues
the programme, draining and spin-drying.
It is used, for example, when you are not at
home and want to delay the spindrying until
you get home, to prevent the clothes creasing
after spin-drying and being left in the drum to
be removed.
To use it, turn the spin speed selector to
the full tub stop position.
FULL TUB STOP
a b
19
using the appliance and practical tips
Increases the level of the final rinse obtained
in the clothes; suitable for large loads and
garments belonging to people with sensitive
skin. Increases water consumption!
EXTRA RINSE
This option prevents garments from creasing
by means of carrying out a special programme
with special turns to fluff out the garments
after spin-drying and make them easier to iron.
EASY IRONING
To start up your washing cycle, press the
Start/Pause button.

WASH AND DRY PROGRAMME RUNNING AND
ELECTRICITY CUTS
using the appliance and practical tips
PROGRAMME
RUNNING
When the programme starts up, the remaining
time until it finishes will appear on the screen.
Complementary functions can be selected at
any time, providing the corresponding washing
cycle has not finished and the programme
admits this function.
If you press the Start/Pause button during the
washing process, the washing machine will
stop and go onto PAUSE.
POWER
CUTS
If a power cut should occur, when the electricity
comes back on the washing machine will
continue functioning from where it left off (it
has a memory of several hours).
tips
To reduce noise on spin drying, level the
washing machine by regulating the adjustable
feet.
You should wash clothes of different sizes
on the same wash programme whenever
possible, as this helps distribute the clothes
inside the drum on spin-drying and improves
spin performance.
All the models have a safety system to
prevent spin-drying from starting up if the
clothes are too concentrated inside the drum.
This protects the washing machine from
vibrating excessively. If you notice that the
clothes are still too damp after spin drying,
distribute them evenly inside the drum and
then run the spin dry cycle again.
If you change the programme on the
programme selector dial during
washing and drying, the washer dryer
will automatically go onto PAUSE and
the programme running will be
cancelled.
If you need to add or remove an item,
press the Stop/Pause button. Check
there is no danger of the water
overflowing when you open the door
and that the water temperature is not
too high. To restart and continue the
washing cycle, press the Start/Pause
button again.
Important
21
washing machine
maintenance and cleaning
After each wash programme, leave the
loading door open for a short time so that
air can circulate around the washing
machine.
From time to time, depending on the water
hardness in your area, it is recommendable
to run a full wash cycle using an anti-scale
product. This will prolong the life of your
washing machine.
MAINTENANCE
Unplug the washing machine from
the mains before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operations.
You should clean the detergent drawer
regularly to remove any wash product
residue remaining inside it.
a Pull outwards on the detergent
drawer to remove it completely.
b Use warm water and a brush to
clean the compartments.
c Also take out the additive
compartment siphons, clean them
and replace them.
Then fit the drawer back into its
housing.
If the syphon is dirty or has not been
correctly fitted it will prevent the
additives from being used and water
will be left in the compartment after
washing.

the water level you can see through the door may look
low, there is no cause for concern as washing and rinsing
efficiency will still be optimum.
25
safety and troubleshooting
Check the detergent drawer is clean. To clean it, follow the
instructions in Maintenance and Cleaning of the
appliance.
1- Cleaning the detergent drawer.
Today’s washing machines are equipped with user safety
systems. The washing machine door cannot be opened if
the drum has not totally come to a halt. You therefore need
to wait around 2 minutes before you can open the door.
The time is for information purposes and it can be affected
by the real conditions of the selected wash programme:
the initial water temperature, the load of clothes, unbalance
caused by the load on spin drying, etc.
Other problems may affect the washing machine. In this
case, the indications F05, F06 etc. through to F10 will
appear on the display. Contact the Authorised Technical
Services.
Why is there water left in the
detergent drawer?
Why can’t I open the door
as soon as the wash
programme ends?
Why doesn’t the time
remaining on the clock
coincide with the real end-
of-cycle time selected?
