10 DELAY START button

This button makes it possible to delay the starting of

the programme from 30 min-60 min-90 min, 2 hours

and then by 1 hour up to maximum of 23 hours. The

delay you have selected is shown on the display for

about 3 seconds; afterwards, the duration of the

programme reappears.

You must select this option after you have set the

programme and before you press the

START/PAUSE button.

The time value shown on the display will decrease

by one unit every hour.

You can change the delay time at any moment,

before you press the START/PAUSE button.

If you have already pressed the START/PAUSE

button, and you wish to cancel the delay time,

proceed as follows:

• set the washing machine to PAUSE by pressing the

START/PAUSE button;

• press the DELAY button twice, to erase the delay

time. The display will indicate 

0’.

• press the START/PAUSE button again.

Important!

The door will be locked throughout the delay time.

If you need to open the door, you must first set the

washing machine to PAUSE by pressing the

START/PAUSE button. After you have closed the

door, press the START/PAUSE button again.

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment

label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.

Sort the laundry as follows:

whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95°

for normally soiled white cottons and linen

(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,

sheets...)

60°

for normally soiled, colour fast garments

(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in

linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for

lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

Cold

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

30°-40°

laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens.

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites

may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they

should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the

laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks

and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub

particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or

detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie

them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the

programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than

one third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient

use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
