The LEDS provide important information.
This is what they can tell you:

Prewash
Delay set:
If the Delay Timer function has been enabled (see
page. 11), once you have started the programme,
the LED corresponding to the delay set will begin to
flash:
Wash
Rinse
Spin cycle
Note: during draining, the LED corresponding to
the Spin cycle phase will be turned on.
Function buttons
The FUNCTION BUTTONS also act like LEDS.
When a function is selected, the corresponding
button is illuminated.
If the function selected is incompatible with the
programme set, the button will flash and the
function will not be enabled.
If you set a function that is incompatible with
another function you selected previously, only the
last one selected will be enabled.
! The rapid flashing of the ON-OFF/DOOR LOCK Led together with the flashing of at least one other LED
indicates there is an abnormality (see page 15).

Notes
-For programmes 8 and 9, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5 kg.
-For programme 13 we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2 kg.
-For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. The information contained in the table is purely indicative.
Special programme
Daily (programme 11 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts
30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (11 at 30C), you can wash
different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Special items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 7
which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and
load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle
once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.
Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,
taking care not to exceed a load of 1,5 kg.
General safety
This appliance has been designed for nonprofessional, household use and its functions must
not be changed.
This washing machine should only be used by
adults and in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
Never touch the washing machine when barefoot
or with wet or damp hands or feet.
Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug
the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the
plug out yourself.
Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
Do not touch the drain water as it could reach
very high temperatures.
Never force the washing machine door: this could
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent any accidental openings.
In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
The appliance door tends to get quite hot during
the wash cycle.
Should it have to be moved, proceed with the
help of two or three people and handle it with the
utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because
the appliance is very heavy.
Before loading your laundry into the washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local regulations, so the packaging can
be re-used.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that
old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce
the impact on human health and the environment.

GB
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance's water system
and also prevent leaks.
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.

Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 16), make sure the problem
can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.
GB
Problem
Possible causes/Solution:
The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor
(see page 3).
The free end of the hose is underwater (see page 3).
The wall drainage system doesn't have a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch
the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper
floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing
machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an
inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.
The drum was not unblocked correctly during installation (see page 2).
The washing machine is not level (see page 2).
The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and
the wall (see page 2).
The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2).
The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it, see page 14).
The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3).
Switch off the machine and unplug the appliance; wait for
approximately 1 minute then switch it on again.
If the problem persists, contact Assistance.
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear
the definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash",
or the like).
You used too much detergent.

Service
Before calling for Assistance:
Check whether you can solve the problem on your own (see page 15);
Restart the programme to check whether the problem has been solved;
If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Service Centre on the telephone number
provided on the guarantee certificate.
