** STANDARD COTTON PROGRAMMES ACCORDING TO (EU) No 1015/2010 and No 1061/2010

COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 60°C COTTON PROGRAMME with a temperature of 40°C

These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.

These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the wash label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from the declared temperature of the cycle.

The spin speed may also be reduced, to match any guidelines suggested on the fabric label, or for very delicate fabrics cancel the spin completely this option is available with a spin speed button.

When only a limited number of articles have stains which require treatment with liquid bleaching agents, preliminary removal of stain can be carried out in the washing machine.

Pour the bleach into the liquid bleach container, inserted into the compartment marked "II" in the detergent drawer, and set the special programme "RINSE" 🌐.

When this phase has terminated, turn the programme selector on the "OFF" position, add the rest of the fabrics and proceed with a normal wash on the most suitable programme.

CHAPTER 7

SELECTION

For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes).

RESISTANT 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.

FLASH 30 MIN

A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in approximately 30 minutes:

- a maximum load of 2 kg; - lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)

We recommend, with this programme, a 20% detergent loading dose (compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.

FLASH 44 MIN

A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in approximately 44 minutes:

- a maximum load of 3 kg; - lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)

We recommend, with this programme, a 30% detergent loading dose (compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.

SPECIAL "RINSE" PROGRAMME

This programme carries out three rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, e.g. use after hand-washing.

This programme can also be used as a bleaching cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes).

SPECIAL "FAST SPIN" PROGRAMME

The "FAST SPIN" programme carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced by using the correct button).

DRAIN ONLY

This programme drains out the water.

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.

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 3 rinses and a slow spin.

DELICATES

PROGRAM "COTTON 20°C"

This innovative programme allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at only 20°C and provides excellent cleaning performance. Consumption on this program is about 40% of a conventional 40°C cottons wash.

MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS

The main wash and the rinse give best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.

CHAPTER 8

DETERGENT DRAWER

The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments:

- the compartment labelled "I" is for prewash detergent;

- the compartment labelled "💡" is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc.

- the compartment labelled "II" is for main wash detergent.

If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special container supplied into the compartment marked "II" in the detergent drawer. This ensures that the liquid detergent enters the drum at the right stage of the wash cycle.

This special container must be inserted into the compartment marked "II" in the detergent drawer, also when you wish to use the "RINSE" programme as a bleaching cycle.

NOTE: SOME DETERGENTS ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. FOR THESE, WE RECOMMEND YOU USE THE SPECIAL DISPENSER WHICH IS PLACED IN THE DRUM.

NOTE: ONLY PUT LIQUID PRODUCTS IN THE COMPARTMENT LABELLED "☐". THE MACHINE IS PROGRAMMED TO AUTOMATICALLY TAKE UP ADDITIVES DURING THE FINAL RINSE STAGE FOR ALL WASH CYCLES.

ATTENTION:

When washing heavy rugs, bedspreads and other heavy articles, it is advisable not to spin.

To be machine-washed, woollen garments and other articles in wool must bear the "Machine Washable Label".

IMPORTANT:

When sorting articles ensure that:

• there are no metal objects in the washing (e.g. brooches, safety pins, pins, coins etc.).
• cushion covers are buttoned, zips and hooks are closed, loose belts and long tapes on dressing gowns are knotted.
• runners from curtains are removed.
• Attention is paid to garment labels.
• When sorting, any tough stains should be removed prior to washing using stain removers only recommended on the label.

CHAPTER 10

USEFUL TIPS FOR THE USER

SUGGESTIONS FOR USING YOUR WASHING MACHINE

A guide to environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

MAXIMIZE THE LOAD SIZE

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent, and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of two half loads.

DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?

For heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water, and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slightly to normally soiled laundry.

IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried-in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

WASHING

AUTOMATIC VARIABLE CAPACITY

This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing. In this way it is also possible to obtain a "personalized" wash from an energy saving point of view. This system gives a decrease in energy consumption and a sensible reduction in washing times.

EXAMPLE:

A net bag should be used for particularly delicate fabrics.

Let us suppose that the washing consists of HEAVILY SOILED COTTON (tough stains should be removed with suitable stain removal).

It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articles in towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water and become too heavy.

• Open the detergent drawer. ● Put 120 g in the main wash compartment marked II. ● Put 50 ml of the desired additive in the additives compartment 🌿.
• Close the detergent drawer.

● Ensure that the water inlet tap is turned on. ● And that the discharge tube is in place.

PROGRAMME SELECTION

Refer to the programme guide to select the most suitable programme. Turning the selector knob required programme is activate. The display will show the settings for the programme selected.

Press the option buttons (if required)

Then press the START button. When the START button is pressed the machine sets the working sequence in motion.

The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends.

Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

• When the programme has ended the word "End" will appear on the display ● Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the programme has finished).
• Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector to the "OFF" position.
• Open the door and remove the laundry. ● Turn off the water supply after every use.

FOR ALL TYPES OF WASH CONSULT THE PROGRAMME TABLE AND FOLLOW THE OPERATIONS IN THE ORDER INDICATED.

CHAPTER 11

ROUTINE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not use abrasives, spirits and/or diluents on the exterior of the appliance. It is sufficient to use a damp cloth.

The washing machine requires very little maintenance:

● Cleaning of drawer compartments.

- Filter cleaning

● Removals or long periods when the machine is left standing.

CLEANING OF DRAWER COMPARTMENTS

Although not strictly necessary, it is advisable to clean the detergent, bleach and additives compartments occasionally.

Remove the compartments by pulling gently.

Clean with water.

Put the compartments back into place

FILTER CLEANING

The washing machine is equipped with a special filter to retain large foreign matter which could clog up the drain, such as coins, buttons, etc. These can, therefore, easily be recovered. The procedures for cleaning the filter are as follows:

● Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel below the filter cap to collect the small amount of water likely to be inside the pump.

● Turn the filter anticlockwise until it stops in the vertical position.

- Remove and clean.

● After cleaning, replace it by turning the notch on the end of the filter clockwise. Then follow all the procedures described above in reverse order.

REMOVALS OR LONG PERIODS WHEN THE MACHINE IS LEFT STANDING

For eventual removals or when the machine is left standing for long periods in unheated rooms, the drain hose should be emptied of all remaining water.

The appliance must be switched off and unplugged. A bowl is needed. Detach the drainage hose from the clamp and lower it over the bowl until all the water is removed.

Repeat the same operation with the water inlet hose.

If the fault should persist, contact a Technical Assistance Centre. For prompt servicing, give the model of the washing machine, to be found on the label placed on the cabinet inside the porthole or on the guarantee certificate.

Important

1. The use of environmentally friendly detergents without phosphates may produce the following effects:

• The discharge rinse water may appear cloudier due to the presence of zeolites in suspension. This does not compromise the efficiency of the rinses.
• The presence of white powder (zeolites) on the washing at the end of the washing cycle. This does not remain incorporated in the fabric and does not alter the colour.
• The presence of foam in the last rinse water is not necessarily a sign of inadequate rinsing.
• The non-ionic surface-active agents present in the composition of washing machine detergents are often difficult to remove from the washing itself and, even in small quantities, may produce visible signs of the formation of foam.
• Carrying out further rinses, in cases such as this, is not useful.

If your washing machine fails to function, carry out the above-mentioned checks before calling the Technical Assistance Service.

Recommendations on the use of detergent at various temperatures

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results. For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling. For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing. For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics. For dosage amounts please follow the instructions on the detergent package label.
