    any material from the drum.
    •Pour 2 litres of water into the main
    wash compartment  of the
    detergent drawer in order to activate
    the ECO valve. Then run a cotton
    cycle at 90°C, without any laundry in

    fabric softener
    Pull out the dispenser drawer until it
    stops. Measure out the amount of
    detergent required, pour it into the main
    wash compartment  and, if you wish
    to carry out the “prewash” phase, pour it
    into the compartment marked  .
    If required, pour fabric softener into the
    compartment marked  (the amount
    used must not exceed the “MAX” mark
    in the drawer). Close the drawer gently.
    Select the required programme
    Turn the programme selector dial to the
    required programme. 
    The light Start/Pause starts to flash.
    The selector dial

    Synthetics

    Special programmes: Rinse, Drain,
    Spin, Delicate Spin.
    The selector dial can be turned either

    selector dial must be turned to
    position Off, to switch the machine off.

    Depending on the programme, different
    functions can be combined. These must
    be selected after choosing the desired
    programme and before depressing the
    Start/Pause button.

    corresponding pilot lights come on.

    lights go out.

    or decrease the temperature, if you want
    your laundry to be washed at a
    temperature different from the one
    proposed by the washing machine.
    Maximum temperatures are 90°C for
    cottons, 60°C for synthetics, 40°C for
    delicates, wool, fabrics to be
    handwashed and lingerie, 30°C for silk,
    while corresponds to cold wash.

    means of the relevant button
    • depress Start/Pause button

    option the water of the last rinse is not
    emptied out to prevent the fabrics from
    creasing. When the programme has
    finished "Door" icon is alight, the
    Start/Pause light is off and the door is
    blocked to indicate that the water must
    be emptied out.
