Introduction
This washing machine is
equipped with two tanks: one
for liquid detergent (either
concentrated or diluted) with
a capacity of approx. 5.5 l
and another for liquid fabric
softener (either concentrated
or diluted) with a capacity of
approx. 3.5 l (see picture).
Check the detergent/fabric
softener box to verify whether
it is diluted or concentrated
detergent. The automatic
dosing system intakes the
correct amount of detergent and fabric softener from the
tanks for each type of load and at the right time,
guaranteeing optimal washing results without wastage.
The amount of detergent/fabric softener can be modified
manually by pressing the DETERGENT and FABRIC
SOFTENER buttons (refer to "Modifying pre-set
parameters"). If you prefer, the washing machine can
also be used in the "traditional" mode, i.e. by adding the
detergent in the dispenser; the machine will automatically
detect the detergent and will not use the tanks.
Detergent dispenser
"Traditional" mode.
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first
stop point to add the detergent (either liquid or powder
detergent), bleach or other additives (e.g. whiteners) and
the pre-wash detergent for washing in the "traditional"
mode (refer to "Traditional mode).
"Auto Dose System mode.
In order to fill the detergent
and fabric softener tanks,
the detergent dispenser
drawer must be fully
extracted: open the dispenser
drawer up to the first stop
point then press the lever (A)
and open up to the second
stop point, making sure that
it is fully extracted. Avoid
moving the dispenser drawer during filling operations.
Once the tanks have been filled (refer to "Filling the tanks"),
the machine can run up to 40 cycles before the detergent
finishes (*).
First-time use
Turn the washing machine on by pressing the ON/OFF
button. The first wash cycle must be carried out without
laundry and by adding detergent in the detergent
dispenser (refer to "Traditional mode); set the
programme "
" (Cotton 90°) without pre-wash and
without filling the tanks.
Filling the tanks:
Open the detergent dispenser drawer in the "Auto Dose
System" mode (refer to "Detergent dispenser").
Slowly pour the detergent (B) and fabric softener (C)
until the tanks are completely filled (see picture).
To avoid exceeding the maximum capacity, a buzzer (beep)
will sound with growing intensity to signal the level and 3
long beeps will sound once the tank is completely full.
Start the wash cycle immediately after filling the tanks to
ensure that the dispenser is properly cleaned.The
respective icons
(for the detergent) and (for the
fabric softener) will light up gradually to signal the level.
The filling time depends on the density of the product.
Very dense products will take longer to fill.
Close the detergent dispenser drawer only once the
compartments are completely empty.
Select the density of the detergent added (either
concentrated or liquid) by pressing the appropriate
button
.
The machine will store the selection.
If no option is selected, the detergent intake option will
be pre-set to "diluted".
Use button
to set the amount of fabric softener that
will be automatically extracted by the machine:
1) If concentrated softener is used, we recommend
selecting the first level (
with one bar) and, if
necessary, stepping up by a single position (
with 2
bars) to increase detergent intake.
2) If diluted softener is used, we recommend setting level
3 (
with 3 bars) and to then either increase/decrease
the amount of fabric softener to be extracted.
3) To exclude the use of fabric softener, press
until
the bars disappear (also refer to "Modifying pre-set
parameters").
