Running a wash cycle
Note:
Once the appliance has been installed, and
before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle
with detergent and no laundry, using the
programme.
1. SWITCH ON THE MACHINE by pressing the ON/
OFF button. The icons for the START
PROGRAMME buttons begin to flash and the
WASHING TIME INDICATOR lights light up in a
fixed manner, to indicate that the washing machine
is ready to receive instructions.
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the door using the
handle. Load the laundry, making sure you do not
exceed the maximum load value indicated in the
table of programmes on the following page.
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT AND
ADDITIVES.
Pour the detergents into the drawer located inside
the porthole door, taking care not to exceed the
maximum levels indicated on the surface of the
drawer and by the floating indicators. For further
details, please refer to the chapter entitled
Description of the machine
.
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.
5. START THE
WASHING
PROGRAMME by
pressing the
corresponding START
PROGRAMME
BUTTON. The icon
corresponding to the
selected programme
illuminates in a fixed
manner, and all the wash time indicator lights
switch off. The DOOR LOCKED indicator light
illuminates in a fixed manner, to signal the
activation of the door safety device.
For a description of the wash programmes
available, please refer to the chapter entitled
Wash programmes.
The procedure used to start the DELICATES
programme is different
; see paragraph "Delicates
30°" on the following page.
During the programme the WASH TIME
INDICATOR lights illuminate in sequence, indicating
how much of the programme has already been
completed.
The diagram at the side
refers to a situation in
which approximately
50% of the cycle has
been completed.
At the end of the cycle,
all the WASHING TIME
INDICATOR lights begin
to flash.
6. The WASH PROGRAMME can be SUSPENDED by
pressing the illuminated start programme button
which begins to flash. After approximately two
minutes the DOOR LOCKED indicator light will
switch off to indicate that the door may be
opened.
If you wish to add more detergent, make sure that
the MAX floating indicator is not in a raised
position.
To restart the wash programme, close the door
again and press the corresponding start button
once more.
To guarantee maximum safety, whenever there is a
quantity of water in the drum which could leak out
of the machine, it will not be possible to open the
door (the DOOR LOCKED indicator light will remain
lit even after the two minutes have passed).
The machine, in this case, should be switched off
by pressing for approximately 2 seconds the ON/
OFF button, then waiting for the water to be
drained automatically.
7. AT THE END OF THE PROGRAMME
At the end of the wash programme, the icon
corresponding to the selected programme remains
lit in a fixed manner, while
all the washing time
indicator lights begin to flash.
To start a new wash cycle the machine must be
switched off and switched back on again, by
pressing the ON/OFF button TWO TIMES.
