Signals for successive refilling:
When the level of detergent/fabric softener falls below the
required level, at the end of the cycle, the first segment of
the
detergent symbol or the petal of the fabric
softener symbol in the bottom left section, will flash slowly
on the display. Once the detergent/fabric softener is
finished, the first segment of the
detergent symbol or the
petal of the
fabric softener symbol in the lower left
section will flash fast to signal that the detergent or fabric
softener tank is empty. While the cycle runs, with empty
tanks, the
symbols will disappear; at the end of the
cycle or during the pause mode, the first segment of the
symbol and the petal of the symbol in the lower left
section will flash fast. If the tanks are not filled, the
successive wash cycles in Auto Dose System will be
carried out without any intake of detergent.
We suggest adding detergent and fabric softener ONLY
after the machine's signal.
NEVER mix two different detergents; always clean out
the tank before adding a new type of detergent (refer to
"Cleaning cycle set by the user").
Using the "Auto Dose System"
If the compartments have been filled with detergent and
fabric softener, you may start using the machine (refer to
"Running a wash cycle").
Powder detergents for pre-washing and powder additives
may only be used in the traditional mode or using the "Auto
Dose System", by placing the additives directly inside the
drum, preferably in conjunction with the "laundry ball".
Modifying pre-set parameters:
The machine automatically intakes detergent on the
basis of the selected programme, wash load and water
hardness. However, the amount of detergent/fabric
softener used may be modified.
button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude
detergent intake.
button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude
fabric softener intake.
The level of detergent/fabric softener suggested by the
machine is indicated by 3 bars.
Less than 3 bars indicates a lower level of detergent/
fabric softener compared to that suggested by the
machine, while more than 3 bars indicates a higher level
of detergent/fabric softener.
Cleaning the tanks:
Tank cleaning cycles can either be automatic or pre-set
by the user.
Automatic cleaning:
The washing machine carries out an automatic cleaning
cycle during the rinse cycle if the level of detergent that
remains is insufficient for carrying out a
successive wash cycle.
Cleaning cycle set by the user:
Run the cleaning cycle (with empty drum) if you require
adding a different product to the previous one or if the tanks
have been incorrectly filled (e.g. fabric softener has been
erroneously poured into the detergent tank or vice-versa).
Press button
and hold for approximately 8 sec. to activate
cleaning of the detergent tank, button
for cleaning the
fabric softener tank or button
for cleaning both tanks.
Once the buzzers with growing intensity are followed by 2
long buzzers and the icons
for the detergent, for the
fabric softener,
for both tanks appear, the cleaning cycle
for the selected container will start.
The cleaning cycle lasts about 40' if the tanks are initially
empty; if not, the cycle will last longer.
During the tank cleaning cycle, the
symbol will fill
gradually from bottom to top and the
symbol will fill
gradually petal by petal.
"Traditional" mode
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first
stop point (see picture) then pour the amount of
detergent and other additives (e.g. bleach) required for a
single wash cycle directly into the dispenser.
1. pre-wash compartment:
use powder detergent only.
2. main wash
compartment: use powder
or liquid detergent. If the
latter is used, we
recommend pouring it into
the dispenser immediately
before starting the washing
machine and without
running a pre-wash cycle.
3. ! Do not pour anything in this compartment.
Tablet detergent or the relative "laundry ball" must be
added directly inside the drum. In this event, deactivate
the "Auto Dose System" (by pressing the
button until
the relative vertical bars disappear from the display).
Do not pour any fabric softener as the appropriate
quantity required for each wash cycle will be
automatically extracted.
To deactivate fabric softener intake, press the
button
until the vertical bars disappear from the display.
For wool and silk garments, we recommend using a
special detergent which must be poured directly into the
detergent dispenser (compartment 2).
Running the wash cycle:
Select the programme and the compatible options on
the basis of the required need and type of load.
