The "Rapid Wash" button can be used for washing loads of 1 to 5 kg. This option may only be utilised on COTTONS and SYNTHETICS programmes.

SUPER RINSE button

Press the button to select or deselect this function. Thanks to the new electronic system, it is possible to effect a new special rinse cycle by using this button. The addition of a lot more water and the new action combining of cycles of rotation of the drum with loading and unloading of water, allow the laundry to be perfectly rinsed. This function has been designed for the people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which the smallest residue of detergent can cause irritations or allergies. It advisable to also use this function for the childrens items and in case of washings of very dirty items, for which it is due to use a lot of detergent, or in the washing of towelling items whose fibers mostly have the tendency to hold the detergent. This option is not available on WOOLLENS/HAND WASH programmes.

Buttons indicator light

The indicator light around the option buttons will light when specific options are selected.
VARIABLE SPIN SPEED selector Can be turned in either direction
The spin stage plays a very important role in preparing the laundry for efficient drying and your model offers maximum flexibility to suit all your requirements. The selector can be turned to reduce the maximum spin speed, right up to eliminating the spin completely (position ). In programmes for mixed fibres, synthetics and delicates, the washing machine automatically lowers the spin speed. In order not to damage fabrics, it is not possible to increase this spin speeds.

CREASE GUARD button

Press the button to select or deselect this function. The Grease Guard function (not available on cottons programmes) minimizes creases as much as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics.

Programme selector

For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes). 1 RESISTANTS FABRICS The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing. The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.

COTTONS

MIX & WASH SYSTEM PROGRAMME This is an exclusive Candy system and involves 2 great advantages for the consumer: to be able to wash together different type of fabrics (e.g. cotton + synthetic etc) NON-FAST COLOUREDS; to wash with a considerable energy saving. The "Mix & Wash" programme has a temperature of 40C and alternate dynamic phases (the drum that turns) to static phases (fabrics in soak in phase of rest) with the programme duration that almost reaching the 3 hours. The energy consumption for the complete cycle is only 850 W/h. Important: the first washing of new coloureds fabrics must be done separately; in every case, never mix NON-FAST COLOUREDS fabrics. 32 MINUTE RAPID PROGRAMME 50C The 32 minute rapid programme allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 30 minutes, with up to a maximum load of 2 kg and a temperature of 50C. When selecting the "32 minute rapid" programme, please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.

2 MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS SYNTHETICS The main wash and rinse gives the best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased. 3 SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics such as Pure Machine Washable Wool. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results. HAND WASH This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash programme cycle. This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as Hand Wash only on the fabric care label. The programme has a temperature of 30C and concludes with 3 rinses and a slow spin. 4. SPECIALS SPECIAL RINSE PROGRAMME This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin. It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing. This programme can be also used during Bleaching (see table of washing cycle programmes). SPECIAL FAST SPIN PROGRAMME Programme FAST SPIN carries out a maximum spin. DRAIN ONLY This programme drains out the water.

DELICATES

Automatic Variable Capacity
The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as Automatic Variable Capacity). This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance. In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of washing. The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst respecting the environment and saving you money.

Detergent drawer

The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments: - the compartment labelled "I" is for prewash detergent; - the compartment labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc; - the compartment labelled "II" is for main wash detergent. If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special container supplied into the compartment marked II in the detergent drawer. This ensures that the liquid detergent enters the drum at the right stage of the wash cycle. This special container must be inserted into the compartment marked "II" in the detergent drawer, also when you wish to use the "RINSE" programme as BLEACHING cycle. -

Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use
Choice of detergent General purpose detergents
Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil. These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain bleach. Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.

Additional laundry aids

Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as hard to very hard. Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash. Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free detergents. Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics. If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.
NOTE: Some Detergents are Difficult to utilise. Ensure to use an in drum dispenser if recommended by the detergent Manufacturer. Note: only put liquid products in the compartment labelled . The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for all wash cycles.
Do not put solvents in the washing machine! Keep detergents and other laundry products out of childrens reach. Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent drawer. Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.

Dosages

Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine. You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose. The amount of detergent to use depends on: - water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent. - the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on the degree of soiling. - amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a small amount of laundry.

Useful advice for users

Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way
Do a full load in your washing machine
To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the recommended maximum load size. Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes

Selecting the wash programme
Refer to the programme guide or the programme descriptions on the machine to select the most suitable programme. Turning the selector knob, the required programme is activated. Wait for the STOP indicator light to flash. Press additional function buttons (if required). Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly. Press the "Start/Pause" button. When the "Start/Pause" button is pressed the machine sets the working sequence in motion. The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends. Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.
Note: when sorting laundry
check there are no metal objects in the laundry (such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins etc.); button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords; remove curtain hooks; pay close attention to the labels on items if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the laundry, remove them using a special detergent or a special stain remover.
When the programme is finished
At the end of the programme the indicator light STOP will go on. Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the programme has finished). The "Door Security" indicator light will go out. Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector on the OFF position. Open the door and remove the laundry. Turn off the tap.
- We recommend that you do not do a full load of towelling items only as these become too heavy since they absorb a lot of water.

Cleaning the door glass

Cleaning and routine maintenance
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance: - Cleaning the drawer compartments. - Cleaning the filter. - Cleaning the door glass.
Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door. Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.
Cleaning the drawer compartments

Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the compartments for bleaching detergents and additives occasionally. A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but without forcing them. B) Clean everything in the compartment under running water. C) Put everything back in its proper place.
Transporting the appliance or long periods when appliance is not in use
If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses. Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out. When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.

Cleaning the filter

The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for handling large deposits which could block the discharge hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be easily retrieved. We recommend that the filter be cleaned at least once a month. The cleaning operation is as follows:
1) Ease off the plinth cover as shown in picture. 2) Turn anti-clockwise the filter until it stops in the vertical position. Remove and clean. 3) After cleaning, replace the filter. Then follow all procedures described above in reverse order.
Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the following page to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter.
Investigating malfunctions
What might be the cause of Defects you can remedy yourself MALFUNCTION CAUSE
1. Does not work on any programme Plug not in socket. Not switched on. Power failure. Fuse blown. Door open. See cause 1. Tap turned off. Programme selector not correctly positioned. Fill hoses are kinked Kink in discharge hose. Foreign bodies in filter House drain is blocked Leaking gasket between tap and water inlet hose. House drain is blocked Soap drawer blocked with soap residues

REMEDY

Plug it in. Switch on. Check. Check. Close door. Check. Turn on tap. Position programme selector correctly. Straighten fill hoses Straighten discharge hose. Examine filter (see pages 22-23) Clean drain Replace gasket and tighten hose and tap well. Clean drain Clean soap drawer

Note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects: - waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected; - presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric. - The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing. - Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable foam production. - Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.
2. Does not fill with water
3. Water does not drain away 4. Water on floor around the washing machine
