• Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished
drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for
tumble dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials sim-
ilar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they
represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or
hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must
not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation
of harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the
appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer be-
fore starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without pre-
wash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation system
which allows an optimal use of the concentrated deter-
gent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark
in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Garment labels
For drying, follow the indications given on the manufac-
turer’s labels:
•
= May be tumble dried
•
= Drying at high temperature
•
= Drying at reduced temperature
•
= Do not tumble dry.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (iron dry, store dry)
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying are indica-
ted in the «Drying programmes» chapter. The experi-
ence will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable
way, according to the different fabrics. Take note of the
duration drying time of the already performed cycles.
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying pro-
gramme, select a short drying cycle again.
Warning! Do not over dry the laundry in order
to avoid creasing of fabrics or garment’s
shrinking.
First use
• Ensure that the electrical and water connec-
tions comply with the installation instructions.
• Remove the polystyrene block and any materi-
al from the drum.
• Pour 2 litres of water into the main wash com-
partment
of the detergent drawer in order
to activate the ECO valve. Then run a cotton
cycle at the highest temperature without any
laundry in the machine, to remove any manu-
facturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour
1/2 a measure of detergent into the main wash
compartment and start the machine.
Personalisation
Acoustic signals
The machine is provided with an acoustic device, which
sounds in the following cases:
• at the end of the cycle
• if there is a fault.
By pressing the 4 and 5 buttons simultaneously for
about 6 seconds, the acoustic signal is deactivated
(except if there is a fault). By pressing these 2 buttons
again, the acoustic signal is reactivated.
Child safety lock
This device permits you to leave the appliance unatten-
ded so you do not need to worry that children might be
injured by or cause damage to the appliance. This func-
tion remains enabled also when the washing machine
is not working.
