END OF WASH CYCLE 1. At the end of the programme the programme selector moves to the �Stop� position. 2. To unload the machine wait for the door to unlock (approx. 2 minutes). 3. Switch off the appliance, open the door and unload the washing. 4. Close the tap and leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry out. NOTES AND INDICATIONS FOR USE � SPIN SPEED CONTROL Spin speed may be reduced automatically or may even be excluded in case of small loads containing highly absorbing garments (e.g. bath robes, towels, etc). This reduces damage to fabric and to the machine and prevents excessive vibration and noise in the machine due to an unbalanced load: by selecting high spin speeds the noise level increases. CLEANING THE FILTER To ensure an impeccable function of the pump, check the filter regular and clean it if necessary. THERMOSTAT KNOB This is set by turning the knob until it reaches the desired temperature.

Prewash cycle increases programme duration by approx. 15 minutes. Consumption data were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with Standard IEC 60 456. The data on the �Energy Label� refer to programme �Coloured Cotton 60° C�. Consumption data in the home may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.

�No Spin� button ADD DETERGENT, CLOSE THE DOOR AND SELECT THE PROGRAMME Add the detergent as described in the programme table or in the chapter �Detergent and Additives� in the booklet. 1. Make sure that the programme selector is set to �Stop�. 2. Open the tap. 3. Set the programme selector to the desired programme. 4. Set the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. 5. Set the spin selector knob to the desired speed. Special options 6. can be selected, if required. 7. Check that the door is well closed and turn on the washing machine by pressing the �ON/OFF� button. The indicator lights up, indicating that the washing machine is on. SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION �Intensive Rinse� button (depending on model) � More water and a longer time in rinse cycle is added. � This option is especially recommended in areas with extremely soft water, for baby linen and helps people with skin allergies. � Especially for delicate garments to avoid wear and tear caused by the spin. Note: in the �Cotton� and �Synthetics� programmes the machine will perform a short spin at a low speed, even if the spin cycle has been disabled, so as to optimise rinsing operations. �Rinse Hold� button
in synthetic and wool programmes only

(depending on model)

� The laundry remains in the last rinse water without progressing to the final spin cycle to avoid creasing and prevent colours from changing. � This option is particularly recommended for the programme �Synthetics� or �Delicate�. � This function is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later time or when you do not wish to spin the clothes. To terminate the �Rinse Hold� option (depending on model) in synthetic and wool programmes only � Press the Rinse hold button again; the load will be spun according to the selected programme. If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the programme selector knob to the drain programme, after pressing the �No Spin� button.
