Installation

!This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/ herself with its operation and features. Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. [. . . ] The machine automatically displays the maximum temperature and spin speed values set for the selected cycle, or the most recently-used settings if they are compatible with the selected cycle. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash âOFFâ setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the âOFFâ setting). Exception: if the 8 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option has been activated, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start setting, press the button until the text âOFFâ appears on the display. ¢ Press the button to enable the option; the indicator light corresponding to the button will switch on. ¢ Press the button again to disable the option; the indicator light will switch off. If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated. If the selected option is not compatible with another previously selected option, the indicator light will flash accompanied by a buzzer (3 beeps), and only the latter option will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the activated option will turn on. The options may affect the recommended load value and/or the duration of the cycle. The corresponding indicator light will turn green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be lit). To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine using the START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in an amber colour); then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted. This will be indicated by the text âENDâ on the display; when the DOOR LOCKED symbol switches off the door may be opened. If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press and hold the button. 22

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected. [. . . ] To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load. 26
