Note: WE RECOMMEND USING DETERGENT IN POWDER FORM WHENEVER
A PRE-WASH IS PROGRAMMED.
DETERGENT DISPENSER
The detergent dispenser is divided into 4 compartments:
• Compartment I, is for prewash powder detergent. The recommended quantity is
60 gm of detergent (for 5 kg of laundry).
• Compartment II, is for wash powder detergent. The recommended quantity is 120
gm of detergent (for 5 kg of laundry).
• The compartment is for bleach. The recommended quantity is 7 cl.
• The compartment is for fabric conditioners, scenting agents and special
additives. The recommended quantity is 5 cl.
The detergent compartment has two guidance lines:
• RECOMMENDED (lower line). This indicates the recommended level for the prewash
and wash compartments.
• MAX. This indicates the maximum level which should never be exceeded.

AUTOMATIC VARIABLE CAPACITY – FUZZY LOGIC ELECTRONICS
This machine has electronics that automatically process all stages of the wash to
ensure exceptional results and at the same time save you time and money.
Once a programme has been selected, the machine
optimises the following elements
depending on the wash load and type of fabric:
- quantity of water and power consumption
-wash time
-drum rotation rate
-rinse efficiency
The washing machine also:
- detects suds and increases the amount of rinse water if necessary
- adjusts spin speed according to load distribution, thus forestalling any imbalance in
the mechanism.

CONTROL DESCRIPTION

USE OF THE SELECTION CONTROLS
A
. PROGRAMME SELECTOR KNOB
This control allows you to select the washing programmes.
Tu rn the selector so that the number or symbol of the desired
programme is opposite the reference indicator (p).
ALWAYS ROTATE the control in a clockwise direction, never
in an anticlockwise direction. Do not press the “on” button
(H) before selecting the programme
.
If you wish to modify the position of the control or select
another programme once a cycle has commenced, press
the On/Off button. Press again to recommence once the
modification has been completed.
C
. SPIN SELECTOR
THE CONTROL CAN BE TURNED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
This is one of the most important parts of the wash cycle. This
machine has a spin cycle flexible enough to meet all
requirements.Turn the selector to reduce maximum and
intermediate spin speeds. Spin can even be eliminated
altogether (setting ).
NB: THE ELECTRONICS IN THE MACHINE DISABLE THE
SPIN FUNCTION WHEN THE LOAD IS UNEVENLY
DISTRIBUTED, AND LIMIT VIBRATIONS AND NOISE
DURING WASHING.

USE OF THE SELECTION CONTROLS
D.
EASY IRON BUTTON
This function helps reduce creasing, depending on the programme
selected and the type of fabric washed.
MIXED FABRICS:
- the water is cooled gradually to prevent heat shock
- the drum is not moved mechanically during emptying
- a mild spin is used to ensure that fibres are smoothed out as much
as possible.
DELICATE FABRICS (OTHER THAN WOOLLENS):
- The machine operates as indicated above and stops with the drum full of water after the
last rinse.
WOOLLENS:
- The machine stops with the drum full of water.
To complete the cycle, proceed as follows
1.- Disengage the Easy Iron (wrinkle reduction) button. The cycle will then run to completion,
with emptying and spin.
2.- Or just empty the drum:
- stop the machine by pressing Start/ Stop.
- set the programme control to OFF.
- select programme .
- wait 5 seconds.
- start up the machine.
E.
SUPER RINSE BUTTON
The new electronic system engaged by this button activates a special
rinse cycle. More water and a new combination of drum rotation
movements during filling and emptying ensure that washing is perfectly
rinsed.
This function is designed for people with sensitive, delicate skins
in whom even tiny amounts of bleach could cause irritation or
allergic reactions.
It is also recommendable for washing baby clothes, heavily soiled
clothes which need large amounts of bleach and spongy articles
which tend to retain bleach.

NOTE:
1. If the wash load is very dirty it is best to reduce the load weight to 3 kg.
2. Programmes 1-2- have an automatic bleaching option. Simply place the bleaching
agent in the compartment.
3. The washing machine is designed to incorporate fabric softener automatically in the last
rinse of each washing cycle.
32’ FAST PROGRAMME
This programme runs through a full wash cycle for a maximum of
2 kg of washing at 50 ºC in just 32 minutes.
Put the detergent in dispenser I. Use no more than approximately
1/4 of the recommended amount of bleach (35 g. at most).
The 32’ fast programme can also be used as a pre-wash cycle for
particularly heavily soiled garments before the regular wash
programme desired.
