Useful advice for users
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical wayDo a full load in your washing machineTo prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you
put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.When is prewashing really needed?Only with particularly dirty loads! Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the
prewash option for normally soiled laundry.Which wash temperature should you choose?Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C. Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature.

Enable Memory
This is a useful feature if you frequently wash laundry using the same programme.
Selecting “Enable Memory” will tell the machine to remember the last programme/functions
used and set them in the memory. This function works only on cottons, delicates, synthetics
and woolens programme. The memory does not retain settings within the special programme
group.
Select “Yes” or “No” to this option by using the (         ) and (        ) button to input the selection.
The display will then shown a message that asks if you require demo mode to be set. 
Demo mode (default setting - NO)

PROGRAM END
AT18:00
Release the (       ) button and press the (          ) button to enter your selection.
When you have entered your chosen language, the display will then ask for the “New time” to be set.
Set New Time
This function needs to be set for two reasons: firstly to display the current time of day on the
screen and secondly for the programme end/delay start settings to work correctly.
You will notice in the display window that the hours on the clock will be flashing.
Set the hours by continually pressing the (       ) button and then press the (         ) button to enter
the hour.
Next the minutes on the clock will begin to flash, again press the (      ) button until the required
minutes are displayed and press (        ) to input the selection.
When you have Set the New Time, the display will then ask if you wish to “Setting the time mode”.
Setting the time mode
There are two ways to select the time mode.
The first is if you wish programme end or delay start to be programmed by starting the actual
time you want the programme to end or begin, e.g., programme to end 18.00. This is called
Absolute Time Mode.
When utilising the programme end function (or start delay), an example can be seen below
when the Absolute Time Mode has been selected in the menu set-up stage.
Therefore, when setting the Programme end time the programme (as shown above) will end at
18.00.
The second is if you wish programme end time or delay start to be programmed by adding
hours; e.g., programme to end in 1 
1/2hours. This is called Relative Time Mode.
When utilising the programme end function (or start delay), an example can be seen below
when the Relative Time Mode has been selected in the menu set-up stage.
Both options are very useful, but we feel that the Absolute Time Mode will be more beneficial
and easier to use since there will be no need to calculate how many hours you will need to
leave before you want the machine to end or start.
On reaching the set time mode you will be asked if you would like to select “Relative” time or -
by scrolling through using the (        ) button - “Absolute” time.
Enter the preferred setting by pressing the (         ) button.
When you have entered your preferred time-mode, the display will then ask for the Enable
Final Beeping to be set.

							Crease guard Button The Crease Guard function 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– final two rinses with no spinning and then the fabrics are left in
water until it is time to unload. When you are ready to unload, press the "Crease Guard"
button – this will drain.
WOLLENS – after the final rinse the fabrics are left in water until it is time to unload and the
button indicator blinking.
When you are ready to unload, press the "Crease Guard" button, this will drain and spin
ready for emptying.
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.“Wash 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 by 10°C until a minimum of 15°C
(cold wash).“Allergie” button By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Colourfast and Mixed
Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor Activa 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 programs.

Intensive ButtonBy pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the
new Activa 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.Select Spin On selecting the wash programme the display will inform you of the maximum spin speed
permitted for that programme. By repeatedly pressing the select spin button the speed will
decrease by increments of 100 rpm. The minimum speed permitted is 400 rpm, or by
continuously pressing the select spin option the spin may be cancelled if desired.
HI
Note: this model is fitted with an electronic “sensor” device that
checks the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly
unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically to then
carry out the normal spin.
If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a reduced spin
speed will be used. If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin
stage will be cancelled.
This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve
the washing machine’s reliability and life.
 
						

							Programme selectorFor the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt
the washing machine has 4 different programme bands
according to: wash cycle, temperature and lenght of cycle
(see table of washing cycle programmes).
1 RESISTANTS FABRICS
The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses,
with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing. 
The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.
2 MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS 
The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation
rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.
Agentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.
3 SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES 
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is
particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics such as Pure Machine
Washable Wool. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water
levels to ensure best results.
4. SPECIALS 
SPECIAL “HAND WASH”
This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash programme cycle. This
programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as
“Hand Wash only” on the fabric care label. The programme has a
temperature of 30°C and concludes with 2 rinses and a slow spin.
SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME
This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which can
be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for
rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.

							Main wash
Auto half loadThe washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system.
This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the
laundry in relation to the particular load.
This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used, without in any way
compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load.
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst
respecting the environment .Sorting the laundry–It is recommended you wash only items which are washable with water and detergent and
not dry-clean items.
–If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
–Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: follow
the labelling in the garments.
Laundry for hot wash  
Coloured, easy-care materials 
Delicates and wool  
–Items labelled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine washing:
Dry clean  
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to
use a laundry net or wash bag.
–Woollen items must be labelled with the «Pure New Wool» symbol to be washed in the
machine  , and must also be labelled «non-matting» or «machine washable».
–Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time
separately.
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with white laundry up to 40°C.
