If the washer-dryer is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/ herself with its operation and features. Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. [. . . ] The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored. Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an automatic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle duration; the display will visualise the “A2” dryness level. Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity. Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”). For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensive” level is reached. This level ensures a highperformance wash due to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn stains. If you desire bleaching, insert the extra tray compartment (4) into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate garments. • Press the button to enable the option; the indicator light corresponding to the button will switch on. • Press the button again to disable the option; the indicator light will switch off. If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated. If the selected option is not compatible with a previously selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light for the option which has been activated will be illuminated. The options may affect the recommended load value and/ or the duration of the cycle. The corresponding indicator light will turn green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be lit). To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washer-dryer using the START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in an amber colour); then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted. This will be indicated by the text “END” on the display; when the DOOR LOCKED symbol switches off the door may be opened. [. . . ] • The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
