If the appliance 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. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the machine.

[. . . ] Press WASH PROGRAMME button to the START RAPID WASH PROGRAMME perform the wash without the final spin cycle. At the end of the cycle, the machine will automatically drain the water contained in the drum. We recommend that the garments are removed from the washing machine straight away, in order to limit the formation of creases. RAPID WASH 30/RINSE ONLY This programme can be used to wash lightly soiled cotton or synthetic garments quickly, or to rinse garments which have been washed by hand. Thanks to its special sensors, the washing machine is able to recognise when the garments placed in the drum have detergent on them. - If no detergent is detected (lightly soiled garments), the RAPID 30 cycle will be performed. - If detergent is detected (cloths which have been washed by hand), the RINSE ONLY cycle will be performed automatically. AUTOMATIC RINSE MANAGEMENT The rinse function is monitored and controlled in every programme by special sensors. If the garments are very soapy at the end of the wash, the rinse cycle will be extended automatically until the detergent is removed completely. In this case the wash programme duration may be slightly increased in relation to the information given in the table of programmes. *Note: 7 Detergents and laundry GB Preparing the laundry Divide the laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label; - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites. Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons. Do not exceed the load values indicated for the Wash programmes. How much does your laundry weigh? 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 sheet 400-500 g pillow case 150-200 g tablecloth 400-500 g bathrobe 900-1. 200 g towel 150-250 g pair of jeans 400-500 g shirt 150-200 g Washing recommendations Bed and bathroom laundry (sheets, towels, bathrobes, etc. ): use the WHITE COTTONS programme which guarantees the most efficient wash in Class A appliances. The intensive spin cycle eliminates all excess water efficiently. White cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts, tablecloths, etc. ): use the WHITE COTTONS 60° programme. If there are any stubborn stains, they should be pre-treated with solid soap before the wash cycle is started. Coloured cotton garments (shirts, T-shirts, underwear, etc. ): use the COLOUR MIX 40° programme, which maximises the performance of the wash without damaging the colours. The spin cycle phase, thanks to the incorporated EASY IRON function, reduces the formation of creases at the end of the wash, making the fabric easier to iron. We recommend the use of liquid detergent. White or coloured synthetic garments (shirts, T-shirts, underwear, etc. ): use the COLOUR MIX programme. We recommend that white 40° and coloured garments are not washed in the same wash cycle, to prevent any colour leakage from seeping into the white clothing. We recommend the use of liquid detergent. Coloured synthetic and cotton garments, with instruction on the care label: use wash at 30° programme with final spin. [. . . ] The wash cycle wont start.
