Prewash compartment: Detergent for the prewash.

Softener compartment: Fabric softener or liquid starch. Pour in softener or starch solution only up to the "max" mark.

Release button: Press to remove tray for cleaning.

PROGRAMMES

For choosing the appropriate programme for your laundry, always respect the care labels. The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum temperature possible for washing the garment.

Mixed: For washing lightly to normally soiled resilient garments in cotton, linen, synthetic fibres and mixed fibres.

White: For washing normally to heavily soiled towels, underwear, table and bed linen, etc., in resilient cotton and linen. When the temperature is selected at 90°C, the cycle includes a prewash phase. It is recommended to add detergent to both the prewash and main wash sections.

Cotton: For normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons.

Eco 40-60: For washing normally soiled cotton garments declared washable at 40°C or 60°C, together in the same cycle. This is the standard cotton programme and the most efficient in terms of water and energy consumption.

Sport: For washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.). For best results, do not exceed the maximum load indicated in the "PROGRAMME CHART". Using liquid detergent and adding the amount suitable for half-load is recommended.

Duvet: Designed for washing eiderdown padded items such as double or single duvets, cushions, and anoraks. Load padded items with edges folded inwards and do not exceed 3/4 of the drum's volume. Using liquid detergent is recommended for optimal washing.

Steam Refresh: This programme refreshes garments by removing bad odours and relaxing fibres (approx. 2 kg, 3 items). Insert dry items only (not dirty) and select "Steam Refresh". Garments will be slightly damp at the end of the cycle and can be worn after a few minutes. The "Steam Refresh" programme makes ironing easier. ❗ Not recommended for wool or silk garments. ❗ Do not add softeners or detergents.

Spin & Drain: Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If the spin cycle is excluded, the machine will only drain.

Rinse & Spin: Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.

Rapid 30': For washing lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle lasts only 30 minutes, saving time and energy.

20°C: For washing lightly soiled cotton garments at a temperature of 20°C.

Wool: All wool garments can be washed using the "Wool" programme, even those labelled "hand-wash only". For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed the maximum kg declaration of laundry.

Delicates: For washing particularly delicate garments. Preferably turn garments inside out before washing.

Synthetics: For washing soiled garments made from synthetic fibres (such as polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or cotton/synthetic blends.

Eco Cotton: For washing normally soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and 60°C.

FIRST TIME USE

To remove any manufacturing debris, select the "Cotton" programme at a temperature of 60°C. Pour a small quantity of detergent powder into the main wash compartment of the detergent dispenser (maximum 1/3 of the quantity recommended by the detergent manufacturer for lightly soiled laundry). Start the programme without adding any laundry.

DAILY USE

Prepare your laundry according to the "HINTS AND TIPS" section. Load the laundry, close the door, open the water tap, and press the [ON/OFF] button to switch the washing machine on; the [Start/Pause] button flashes. Turn the programme selector to the desired programme and select any options if needed. The temperature and spin speed can be changed by pressing the [Temperature] button or the [Spin] button. Pull out the detergent dispenser and add detergent (and additives/softener). Observe the dosing recommendations on the detergent pack. Close the detergent dispenser and press the [Start/Pause] button. The [Start/Pause] button will light up, and the door will be locked.

PAUSE A RUNNING PROGRAMME

To pause the wash cycle, press the [Start/Pause] button. The indicator light will go off, and the remaining time on the display will flash. To start the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted, press the button again.

OPEN THE DOOR, IF REQUIRED

After starting a programme, the "Door locked" indicator lights up. As long as a wash programme is running, the door remains locked. To open the door while a programme is in progress, press the [Start/Pause] button to pause the programme. Provided the water level and/or temperature are not too high, the "Door locked" indicator light goes off, and you can open the door (e.g., to add or remove laundry). Press the [Start/Pause] button again to continue the programme.

PROGRAMME END

The "Door locked" indicator light goes off, and the display shows "End". To switch off the washing machine after the programme ends, press the [ON/OFF] button; the lights go off. If you do not press [ON/OFF], the washing machine will switch off automatically after about 10 minutes. Close the water tap, open the door, and unload the washing machine. Leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry.

OPTIONS

❗ If a selected option is incompatible with the programme set, this will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the corresponding indicator light will flash. ❗ If a selected option is incompatible with another previously set option, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Clean+: This option works on 3 levels (Intensive, Daily, Fast) to set the right washing action based on your cleaning needs:

Intensive: For high levels of dirtiness, removing stubborn stains.
Daily: For everyday stains.
Fast: For lightly soiled stains.

Intensive rinse: This option increases the efficiency of the rinse cycle, ensuring optimal detergent removal. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin. Press the button once, twice, or three times to select an additional 1, 2, or 3 rinses after the standard rinse cycle to remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again to return to the "Normal rinse" type.

Start delay: To set the selected programme to start at a later time, press the button to set the desired delay time. A symbol lights up on the display when this function is enabled. To cancel the delayed start, press the button again until the value "0" is shown on the display.

FreshCare+: This option enhances washing performance by generating steam to inhibit the proliferation of bad odour sources inside the machine. After the steam phase, the washing machine performs gentle tumbling through slow rotations of the drum. The FreshCare+ option starts after the cycle ends for a maximum duration of 6 hours. You can interrupt it at any time by pressing any button on the control panel or turning the knob. Wait around 5 minutes before the door can be opened.

Temperature: Every programme has a predefined temperature. If you want to change the temperature, press the [Temperature] button. The value appears on the display.

Spin: Every programme has a predefined spin speed. If you want to change the spin speed, press the [Spin] button. The value appears on the display.

DEMO MODE

To deactivate this function, switch the washing machine OFF. Then press and hold the [Start/Pause] button. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the [ON/OFF] button for 2 seconds.

KEY LOCK

To lock the control panel, press and hold the [Key lock] button for approximately 3 seconds. The [Key lock activated] symbol will light up on the display, indicating that the control panel is locked (except for the [ON/OFF] button). This prevents unintentional changes to programmes, especially with children near the machine. To unlock the control panel, press and hold the [Key lock] button for approximately 3 seconds.

BLEACHING

If you wish to bleach laundry, load the washing machine and set the "Rinse & Spin" programme. Start the machine and wait for it to complete the first water filling cycle (roughly 2 minutes). Pause the machine by pressing the [Start/Pause] button, open the detergent drawer, and pour the bleach (observe recommended doses) into the main wash compartment where the partition was previously mounted. Restart the cycle by pressing the [Start/Pause] button. If desired, fabric softener can be added to the appropriate compartment of the detergent drawer.

HINTS AND TIPS

Sort your laundry according to:

Type of fabric/care label: (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, handwash items).
Colour: Separate coloured and white items; wash new coloured items separately.
Delicates: Wash small items (e.g., nylon stockings) and items with hooks (e.g., bras) in a cloth bag or pillow case with a zip.

Empty all pockets: Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the drum.

Follow the dosage recommendation / additives: This optimizes cleaning results, avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry, and saves money by avoiding waste.

Use low temperature and longer duration: The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

Observe the load sizes: Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the "PROGRAMME CHART" table to save water and energy.

Noise and remaining moisture content: These are influenced by the spinning speed. The higher the spinning speed, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).

Cleaning the outside of the washing machine: Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts. Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder, or similar substances on the control panel, as they might damage the printing.

Checking the water supply hose: Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it with a new hose available through After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.

Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water: If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly to prevent blockages. If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be clogged.

To clean the filter:

Remove the plinth using a screwdriver: push downwards one side of the plinth with your hand, then insert the screwdriver into the gap between the plinth and the front panel and pry open the plinth.
Place a broad, flat container beneath the water filter to collect any draining water.
Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise until water flows out. Let the water flow out without removing the filter.
When the container is full, close the water filter by turning it clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat this procedure until all the water has drained.
Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter to absorb any residual water.
Remove the water filter by turning it counterclockwise.
Clean the water filter: remove residues and clean it under running water.
Insert the water filter and reinstall the plinth: turn the filter clockwise until it is fully inserted; the filter handle must be in a vertical position. To test water tightness, pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser, then reinstall the plinth.

ACCESSORIES

Contact After-Sales Service to check the availability of accessories for your washing machine model.

Stacking kit shelf: Allows your dryer to be fixed on top of your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading/unloading the dryer in a higher position.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Never lift the washing machine by holding it at the worktop. Pull out the mains plug and close the water tap. Ensure the door and detergent dispenser are properly closed. Disconnect the inlet hose from the water tap and remove the drain hose from the draining point. Remove all residual water from the hoses and secure them to prevent damage during transport. Refit the transport bolts. Follow the instructions for removing transport bolts in the Installation Guide in reverse order.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The washing machine may sometimes not work properly. Before calling After-Sales Service, check the following list to see if the problem can be easily resolved.

Anomalies:	Possible causes / Solution:
The washing machine does not turn on.	The plug is not inserted into the electrical outlet, or not enough to make contact. There has been a power failure.
The wash cycle does not start.	The door is not fully closed. The [ON/OFF] button has not been pressed. The [Start/Pause] button has not been pressed. The water tap is not open. A "Start delay" has been set.
The washing machine does not fill with water (the message "h2o" is shown on the display). "Beep" sound every 5 seconds.	The water intake hose is not connected to the tap. The hose is bent. The water tap is not open. The mains water supply has been shut off. There is not enough pressure. The [Start/Pause] button has not been pressed.
The washing machine loads and drains water continuously.	The drain hose has not been installed at 65 to 100 cm from the ground. The end of the drain hose is immersed in water. The drain connector on the wall does not have an air vent. If the problem persists after these checks, close the water tap, shut off the washing machine, and call After-Sales Service. A siphon effect can sometimes occur in upper floors of a building, causing continuous loading and draining. Special anti-siphon valves are available to prevent this.
The washing machine does not drain or does not spin.	The programme does not include the draining function; it must be activated manually for certain programmes. The drain hose is bent. The drain line is obstructed.
The washing machine vibrates excessively during the spin cycle.	At the time of installation, the drum was not properly unblocked. The washing machine is not level. The washing machine is squeezed between furniture and the wall.
The washing machine leaks water.	The water intake hose has not been tightened properly. The detergent dispenser is clogged. The drain hose has not been properly fastened.
The machine is locked and the display flashes, indicating an error code (e.g. F-01, F-..).	Shut off the machine, disconnect the plug from the outlet, and wait about 1 minute before turning it back on. If the problem persists, call After-Sales Service.
Too much foam is formed.	The detergent is not compatible with the washing machine (it must bear the wording "for washing machines", "for hand washing and washing machines", or similar). The dosage was excessive.
Door is locked, with or without failure indication, and the programme does not run.	Door is locked in case of power breakdown. The programme will continue automatically as soon as the mains is available again. Washing machine is in a standstill. The programme will continue automatically once the cause of the standstill is resolved.
