USING YOUR INTER@CT FOR THE FIRST TIME
• AT-A-GLANCE INTER@CT MENU GUIDE:
Select the desired programme. After a brief time the screen will display:
The time can be set correctly later.
Only if programme 1 is selected.
When you go into the Inter@ct menu, you have 30 seconds to make each selection. If no
selection is made in that time, the screen returns to the initial display and you must access
the Inter@ct menu again to continue programming.

ACTIVE SYSTEM
The Active system owes its efficiency to its capacity to take advantage of all the force of the
water. During the washing phases the water in the drum is pumped towards an injector
located in the drum which injects a powerful water jet onto the wash. This action with an
increase of rotation speed up to 100 revolutions guarantees an optimum quality of wash
and more thorough rinsing.

AUTOMATIC ECONOMY SYSTEM
With this system the machine adjusts the amount of water used to wash and rinse according
to the load. This means that water (and therefore power) can be saved without affecting
wash and rinse quality, because the machine will always use the right amount for the load it
contains. Excellent results are therefore ensured at lower cost, making the machine more
environmentally friendly.

Accesing the Menu
When you go into the Inter@ct menu, you have 30 seconds to make each selection. If no
selection is made in that time, the screen returns to the initial display and you must access
the Inter@ct menu again to continue programming. To programme the menu hold down
EXPRESS WASH and EXTRA RINSE together for 5 seconds until you hear the OK signal.
Press EXTRA RINSE to change menu settings, and EXPRESS WASH to confirm your choice.
Language Selection (Default selection - POLSKI “PL”)
The machine programmes appear by default in Polski “PL”. To change language (for the
messages display when the machine is operating) proceed as follows. To confirm menu
selection, hold down EXPRESS WASH and EXTRA RINSE together for 5 seconds until you
hear the OK signal. The screen will display a message inviting you to choose a language.
Release EXTRA RINSE and EXPRESS WASH and press EXTRA RINSE again to scroll
through the languages available and make your selection. To confirm release EXTRA RINSE
and press EXPRESS WASH. Once the language is confirmed, the screen will display a
message inviting you to set the time.
Enter New Time
If this function is not programmed the correct time will not be displayed and the delayed
start/end function will not work properly.
When the hour digits flash on the display, set the time by pressing EXTRA RINSE until the
correct hour appears, then EXPRESS WASH to confirm.
When the minutes flash, press EXTRA RINSE again until the correct time is shown, the
EXPRESS WASH to confirm.
Once the time is set, the screen will display the message “Memory on”.
Setting the Time (Default setting - ABSOLUTE)
There are two ways of setting the time.
The first is known as “absolute time mode”. It consists of setting the clock time at which the
machine must end its programme (which in turn determines the time at which it must start).
An example follows of how to set the time in absolute mode from the menu using the Set
End Time/Delayed Start function.
In this example the machine is configured to complete its programme at 08:00.
The second type of programming is known as “relative time mode”. It consists of programming
the length of time as from the present moment after which the machine must have completed
its programme (which in turn determines the time at which it must start). An example follows
of how to set the time in relative mode from the menu using the Set End Time/Delayed Start
function.
In this example the machine is set to complete its programme at 15:30.
Both these settings are very useful, but “absolute time mode” is perhaps easier to use, as
there is no need to work out the number of hours until the desired start/stop time.
When you access the time setting you can use the EXTRA RINSE key to switch between
PROGRAMME END
08.00 14:00
PROGRAMME END
IN 1h 30 m. 14:00
12
relative and absolute modes. Press EXPRESS WASH to confirm your choice.Once the time
is set the screen displays the message “Activate End of Wash Beep”.
End of Wash Beep (Default setting - YES)
This activates a beep to advise that the washing cycle has been completed. Use EXTRA
RINSE to switch between YES and NO, the press EXTRA WASH to confirm your choice.
After confirmation the screen moves on to the “Enter New Time” setting.
Once they are set, menu settings remain in the memory of the machine even if it is
disconnected from the mains or there is a power cut.
Memory On (Default setting - NO)
This function is useful if you frequently wash with the same programe. With Memory On
selected, the machine memorises the last programme used. This function works with cotton,
synthetics, delicates and wool programmes, but not with special programmes.
Use EXTRA RINSE to select YES or NO and EXPRESS WASH to confirm. The screen will
then display a message asking if you wish to set Demo Mode. This should be set to NO: this
mode is for use only by technical service personnel. If Demo Mode is set to YES when you
exit the Inter@ct menu, the wash programme will not operate. Press EXPRESS WASH to
confirm NO. A message then appears asking if you wish to exit the menu.
Exit Menu
Press EXTRA RINSE to select YES then confirm with EXPRESS WASH once all settings
are confirmed to exit. If you wish to change a setting, select NO to return to the beginning of
the programming menu. Press EXPRESS WASH to confirm settings as you scroll through
them until you reach the one you wish to change. Once all settings are as desired, exit the
menu and start a trial run of the machine.
To change settings at al later date (e.g. to enter a new time when summer / winter time
begins), go to the menu from the beginning and select the settings you wish to change.

wait”.
- When the lamp goes out and the door can be opened, the display reads “End of programme:
remove washing”.
-Turn off the machine by turning the control to STOP.
- Open the door and remove the washing.

CONTROLS
This section describes all the keys and selectors on the washing machine control panel.
Once the desired programme and settings keys are set, your choice will be displayed on the
Inter@ct display.
If the programmes and option keys selected are compatible, a beep will sound and the pilot
for the function selected will come on. If incompatible options are selected (e.g. a cotton
wash programme plus the EASY IRON key) the pilot on the key will not light up.
Press keys once to select the relevant option and again to deselect it.
Please read the descriptions below carefully.
A
. Programme Selector
NOTE: Always select your programme before you press
START/STOP. If you unintentionally press this button first,
the programme accidentally selected can be deselected
by holding down START/STOP for 5 seconds (see “Can-
cel” below).
When you turn the programme selector and the welcome text disappears, the screen dis-
plays the following data (from left to right):
1. Programme nº
2. Programme name
3. Wash water temperature
4. Treatment type (dependent on how dirty the washing is)
5. Spin speed
E.g.:
I
. START/STOP
START
Press once to start up a new programme. The lamp comes on to indicate that the door is
closed. The machine checks the load and asks you to wait.
E.g.:
The Inter@ct display shows the time required to complete the programme, then the wash
cycle starts. The Inter@ct calculates time on the basis of a standard 4,5 kg. load, but
corrects its calculation during the cycle according to the volume and make-up of the load.
E.g.:
During the wash the display shows the current phase of the cycle above the current time.
The display changes as the cycle progresses.

STOP
You can put the wash programme on hold at any time by holding down START/STOP for
approx. 2 seconds until you hear the OK signal. The display will indicate that the programme
is on hold. To resume the programme, press START/STOP again. The display will indicate
that the programme has resumed.
E.g.:
CANCEL
To cancel the programme, hold down START/STOP for five seconds, until you hear the OK
signal. The display indicates that the programme has been cancelled and therefore deleted.
E.g.:
J
. DOOR LOCK LAMP
There is a safety device to prevent the door from opening immediately after a
wash cycle. The DOOR LOCK lamp remains on while this device is operating.
Around 2 minutes after the end of the wash cycle, the light goes out and the
door can then be opened.
B
. BIO KEY
When this key is pressed, the machine stops in programmes for fast fabrics (cotton) with
water in the drum at a maximum of 40ºC. This enables the enzymes in the washing powder
to act more effectively.
This optimum wash system works in accordance with the requirements of each user.
C
. EXPRESS WASH key
This works in cotton and synthetics programmes. Wash time can be cut by as much as 50
minutes, depending on which programme is selected.
D
. PRE-WASh Key
This is useful especially for heavily soiled washing. It can be used before the main wash
programme is selected. Pour the washing powder for the pre-wash into the compartment
marked “I” (for more information see “Detergent Dispenser” below). We recommend using
only 20% of the amount recommended in the washing powder instructions, with no fabric
softener.
COLOURED COTTON

17
E
. EXTRA RINSE Key
This causes more water to be used in rinsing. It helps prevent skin irritation in people par-
ticularly sensitive to washing powders. We also recommend using EXTRA RINSE with heavily
soiled washing which requires large amounts of washing powder, and when washing
padded fabrics which may retain washing powder.
F
. SPIN SPEED Key
Once you have selected a programme, the screen will display the spin speed permitted for
that programme. The speed setting drops by 100 rpm each time the spin speed key is
pressed. The minimum permitted spin speed is 400 rpm. Spinning can be cut out by
pressing the spin speed key repeatedly. When the desired speed is selected, the display
shows the programme selected, the temperature and the new spin speed.
NB.- This model has an electronic sensor which checks that the load is properly
balanced. If it is slightly off balance, the machine balances it automatically and
then runs a normal spin cycle. If the load remains off balance after several
attempts, the machine will use a lower spin speed lower than that set. If the load
is highly off balance, the spin cycle is cancelled. This limits vibrations, reduces
noise and makes for a more reliable, longer machine lifetime.
G
. SET END TIME / DELAYED START
The SET END TIME / DELAYED START function can be used to set the machine to wash
later (within 24 hours).
1. Configuring DELAYED START
Press the SET END TIME / DELAYED START key and set the
desired time using the time key (hours on the left, minutes on the
right). If the key is not pressed within 5 seconds the display reverts
to the programme settings. To cancel DELAYED START mode,
hold the key down for 5 seconds.
2. SET END TIME
Press SET END TIME / DELAYED START twice and set the desired time using the time key
(hours on the left, minutes on the right). When SET END TIME is selected the display shows
the minimum time which may be entered for the programme to be completed. This time can
be extended if required.
NB.- When the DELAYED START / SET END TIME function is used, washing powder should
be placed only in the dispenser: if it is placed inside the drum and left in contact with washing
for a long time damage may result.
18
H
. EASY IRON key
This works only with programmes for synthetics, delicates, wool and some special
programmes. When this setting is used for delicates, wool or hand wash programmes, the
machine stops and leaves the washing in water inside the drum. This makes for fewer
wrinkles and easier ironing. To resume the wash cycle, press EASY IRON. If this setting is
used in the synthetics cycle, the programme ends with a short spin at very low speed. The
washing then remains in the drum but without excessive wrinkling. If a spin cycle is re-
quired, select an appropriate speed (see Programme Guide) and remove the washing when
the programme ends.
