User manual

To have a good drying performance
do not exceed the maximum drying
loads recommended in the user
manual. Do not set a spin speed
lower than the automatic speed of the
set programme.
WASHING & TIMED DRYING
To have a good drying the appliance does not let
you set a too low spin speed for the items to be
washed and dried.
1. Press the button Drying Time to set the drying
time value.
After some seconds the display shows the final
time value, that is the total duration of the washing
and drying cycles (washing + drying + anti-crease
+ cooling phases).
If you set only 10 minutes of drying
after washing, the appliance calculates
also the duration of the anti-crease
and the cooling phases.
2. Press Start/Pause button to start the
programme.
The indicator Door comes on. The door is locked.
The display shows regularly a new time value.
END OF THE PROGRAMME
The appliance stops automatically. The acoustic
signals operate (if they are active).
For more information see 'At the end of the drying
programme " of the previous chapter.
1. Turn the selector dial to the position to
switch the machine off.
2. Remove the laundry from the appliance. Make
sure that the drum is empty.
3. Keep the door ajar, to prevent mildew and
odours.
4. Close the water tap.
FLUFF IN THE FABRICS
During the washing and/or drying phase, some
types of fabric, (sponge, sweatshirt) could release
fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during
the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we recommend
that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed
and dried light coloured fabrics (new sponge,
sweatshirt ) and the contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air when they
are washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the empty drum,
the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.
HINTS AND TIPS
THE LAUNDRY LOAD
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first
wash. We recommend that you wash them
separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and
poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with
painted illustrations inside out.
• Remove hard stains with a special detergent.
• Wash and pre-treat heavy soil stains before
putting items in drum
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks
and put the curtains in a washing bag or
pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts.
Use a washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts,
tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems
with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust
manually the items in the tub and start the spin
phase again.
STUBBORN STAINS
For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains
before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the
special stain remover that is applicable to the type
of stain and fabric.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
• Only use detergents and additives specially
made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
