- STAIN LEVEL button
TEMPERATURE SELECTION button
SPIN SPEED button
An over dosing of detergent can cause excessive foaming. If the appliance detects the presence of excessive foam, it may exclude the spinning phase or extend the duration of the program and increase water consumption.
The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced. This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so prolongs the life of your machine.

** STANDARD COTTON PROGRAMMES ACCORDING TO (EU) No 1015/2010 and No 1061/2010.
COTTON PROGRAMME WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 60°C.
COTTON PROGRAMME WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 40°C.
These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry. These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the wash label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from the declared temperature of the cycle.
1) When a programme is selected, on the display is shown the display shows the recommended wash temperature that can be reduced (where allowed) by the relevant button.
2) For the programmes shown you can adjust the duration and intensity of the wash using the STAIN LEVEL button.
3) Selecting the RAPID program on the knob, it will be possible to select with the RAPID button, one of the three rapid programs available among 14’, 30’ and 44’.
Programmes selection
To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table of programmes).
Whites
An intensive wash. The final spin at maximum speed gives more efficient removal.
Cottons + Prewash
This programme has been designed to remove the stronger stains from cotton white clothes. The prewash guarantees the tough dirt removal. Add into compartment "1" a quantity of detergent equal to 20% of that used for main wash.
EcoMix 20°
This innovative programme, allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at only 20°C and provides an excellent cleaning performance. Consumption on this program is about 40% of a conventional 40°C. cottons wash.
Cottons
This program is suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and it is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.
Synthetics
The washing and rinsing optimise the speed and rhythm of the drum action and water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabric.
Daily 59 Min.
This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The programme is designed for a reduced load (see table of programmes).
Rapid (14/30/44 Min.)
Washing cycle suggested for low loads and slightly dirty. With this program it is recommended to reduce the quantity of detergent normally used, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID program and acting on the button you can choose one of three programs available.
Rinse
This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button) . It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.
Drain + Spin
The program completes the drain and a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin with the SPIN SPEED button.
Delicates
This program has reduced periods of drum rotation during the cycle and is particularly suitable or washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.
Jeans
This program has been designed to have the highest quality cleaning of fabrics such as denim: ideal for removing dirt without affecting the elasticity of the fibers.
Baby Care
This program allows you to wash all baby clothes getting a perfect clean and sanitizing effect, setting the temperature at 60°C minimum.
To optimize the result of the sanitizing effect we recommend the use of powder detergent.
Silk
Dedicated program for silk fabrics that can be wash with a washing machine washable. The rotations of the drum are delicate, the temperature does not exceed 30°C and the program ends with a gentle spin.
Hand Wash
Program for hand wash only clothes, the program ends with 3 rinses and a slow spin.
Wool
This program performs a wash cycle dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be washed in a washing machine, or the articles to be washed by hand.

| Ensure the correct amount of detergent is being used and the detergent is designed for use in a washing machine. | |
E7 (with display) 7 flashes of the LEDs (without display) | Door problem. |
| Make sure the door is correctly closed. Make sure the clothes inside the drum are not preventing the door from closing fully. | |
| If the door is locked, turn off and unplug the washing machine from the electrical supply socket, wait 2-3 minutes and reopen the door. | |
| Any other code | Turn off and unplug the washing machine, wait a minute. Turn on the machine and restart a program. If the error occurs again contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre directly |
OTHER ANOMALIES
Problem | Possible causes and practical solutions |
| The washing machine does not work / start | Make sure the product is plugged into a working supply socket. |
| Make sure power is on. | |
| Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another appliance such as a lamp. | |
| The door may not be correctly closed: open and close it again. | |
| Check whether the required program was correctly selected and the start button pressed. | |
| Make sure the washing machine is not in pause or time delay mode. | |
| Water leaked on the floor near the washing machine | This may be due to a leak from the seal between the tap, supply hose and fill valve; in this case, replace it and tighten the hose connections correctly. |
| Make sure the front filter is correctly closed. | |
| The washing machine does not spin | The machine is fitted with a detection system that protects the load and product from damage if the load is not balanced before spinning. This may result in:- • The machine attempts to balance the load, increasing the time of spin. • Reduction of the speed of spin to decrease vibrations and noise. • The spin cycle aborting to protect the machine and load. If this is experienced remove the load de-tangle it, reload it and restart the spin program. |
| This could be due to the fact that water has not been completely drained: wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, see Error 3 section. | |
| Some models include a "no spin" function: make sure it is not selected. | |
| Check which options are selected and their effect on the spin cycle. | |
| Excessive detergent can impede the spin cycle, ensure the correct amount of detergent is being used. | |
| Strong vibrations / noises are heard during the spin cycle | The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust the feet as indicated in the specific section. |
| Make sure transport screws, rubber bungs and spacer tubes were removed. | |
| Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the drum (coins, hinges, buttons, etc…). |
