[. . . ] 19 Running a wash cycle GB 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. 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. 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. Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum load value indicated in the table of wash cycles on the following page. Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Description of the machine”. 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 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. 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 DELAYED START 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. €¢ 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 dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience. €¢ The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe. €¢ The wash cycle does not include draining: Some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and options”).
