Running a wash cycle
WARNING: before you use the washing machine for the
first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry,
using the 90° cottons cycle without pre-wash.
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the
button. All
the indicator lights will illuminate for 1 second and the
text AQUALTIS will appear on the display; the indicator
light corresponding to the
button will then remain lit in
a constant manner and the START/PAUSE indicator light
will flash.
2. SELECT THE PROGRAMME. Turn the PROGRAMME
KNOB left or right, until the required programme has
been selected; the name of the programme will appear
on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for
each programme; these may be adjusted. The cycle
duration will also appear on the display.
3. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door.
Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the
maximum load value indicated in the table of wash
cycles on the following page.
4. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into
the relevant compartments as described in “Description
of the machine”.
5. CLOSE THE PORTHOLE DOOR.
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant
buttons on the control panel:
Modify the temperature and/or spin
speed.
The machine automatically displays the maximum
temperature and spin speed values set for the selected
cycle, or the most recently-used settings if they are
compatible with the selected cycle. The temperature can
be decreased by pressing the
button, until the cold
wash “OFF” setting is reached. The spin speed may be
progressively reduced by pressing the
button, until
it is completely excluded “OFF”. If these buttons are
pressed again, the maximum values are restored.
! Exception: if the “Cottons” programme is selected, the
temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.
Set a DELAY TIMER.
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the
corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay
period has been reached. During the setting procedure,
the delay period and the text “Starts in:” will be
displayed, along with the flashing
symbol. After the
delayed start has been set, the
symbol will remain
fixed on the display, which will also indicate the duration
of the selected cycle with the text “Ends in:” and the
cycle duration. Press the DELAY TIMER button just once
to display the delay time set previously.
After the countdown has begun, the display will show
the text “Starts in:” and the delay period. Once the
set delay time has elapsed, the machine will begin its
cycle and the display will show “Ends in:” and the time
remaining until the end of the cycle.
To remove the delayed start option, press the button
until the display shows the text OFF; the
symbol will
disappear.
Modify the cycle settings.
• Press the button to activate the option; the name
of the option will then appear on the display and
the corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
• Press the button again to deactivate the option; the
name of the option will then appear on the display
followed by the text OFF, and the corresponding
indicator light will switch off.
! If the selected option is not compatible with the
selected wash cycle, this incompatibility will be signalled
by the flashing of the indicator light and a sound alert (3
beeps); the option will not be activated.
! If the selected option is not compatible with another
option that has been selected previously, the indicator
light corresponding to the first option selected will
flash and only the second option will be activated; the
indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit
in a constant manner.
! The options may affect the recommended load value and/
or the duration of the cycle.
7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE
button. The corresponding indicator light remains lit in
a fixed manner and the porthole door locks (the
DOOR LOCKED indicator light illuminates). The icons
corresponding to the wash cycle phases will light up
during the cycle to indicate which phase is currently in
progress.
To change a wash cycle once it has already started,
pause the washing machine by pressing the START/
PAUSE button; then select the desired cycle and press
the START/PAUSE button again.
To open the door during a wash cycle, press the START/
PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED
indicator
light is switched off you may open the door. Press the
START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle
from the point at which it was interrupted.
8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This is indicated
by the illuminated text END. The porthole door may be
opened immediately. If the START/PAUSE indicator light
is flashing, press the button to end the cycle. Open the
door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine.
! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun,
press and hold the
button until the cycle stops and the
machine switches off.
Bag for quilts, curtains and delicate garments
The Aqualtis washing machine makes it easier for you
to wash even the most valuable and delicate garments
in complete confidence thanks to the special bag which
protects the laundry (this is supplied with the machine).
We recommend that the bag is used every time you wash
quilts and padded items with an outer layer made using
synthetic material.
