2.3
Operation
This machine has been designed to wash or treat most
materials. Its use for other purposes than those given
is considered as undue and dangerous.
The machine should be loaded with the nominal load,
smaller or bigger loads should be avoided.
Clothes should not be washed in sacks or cloth bags.
If this is absolutely necessary, make sure the machine
is loaded to the nominal load to avoid possible
unbalanced loads.
Canvas, waterproof items, mops, carpets or rugs
should not be spun.
The machine is controlled using a microprocessor able
to adapt to the needs of each user.
There are 16 programmes for which the times and
temperatures can be changed. They are divided into
four
sections
with
treatments: Normal, Delicates, synthetics and fast. For
further details, please see the sections Configuration
(page 68) and Standardised Programmes (page 68).
The machine has an intelligent control to control the
water temperature; if hot water is available, it should
be connected. The machine adjusts the different water
inputs to maintain the programmed temperature.
It has intelligent control for spin cycle management.
The washing machine controls any unbalanced loads
and manages the spin to ensure a good spin, reducing
noise and extending the useful life of wearable
components, thus significantly reducing fatigue in the
mechanical components.
The machine offers the "Express" system. By pressing
one key you automatically reduce the programme time,
thus adapting to user requirements without needing to
change the machine configuration.
Extra rinse option. Press one key to add another rinse
to the programme, thus adapting to user requirements
without needing to change the machine configuration.

Programme execution
In order to carry out a wash programme, the following
steps should be followed:
1- Put dirty clothes in washing machine drum
2- Close washing machine door.
3- Add detergent
4- Select desired programme.
5- Press START key.
After starting a programme, the LEDs indicate its
condition and evolution.
With the START key the programme stops, and
pauses. If you want the programme to continue, press
the Start key again. If the programme is in spin mode,
different
spin
settings
it is not possible to pause the machine, and therefore
pressing the START key will have no effect.
The programme can finish in several ways:
Normal end: the programme finishes when all cycles
have been carried out.
Pressing the EXPRESS key when the washing
machine is in PAUSE mode.
By pressing the ADVANCE key from any point in
the programme, repeatedly, the end of the programme
can be reached. If a spin is being carried out, the
ADVANCE key will not respond until the braking safety
time has finished (approx 1 min.).
When a programme ends, before allowing the door to
be opened, the clothes are untangled during 30
and
seconds. An acoustic signal when the door can be
opened after this process.
WARNING!
Wait until the drum has stopped before opening the
door. For safety reasons the door does not unlock for a
few seconds after the programme has ended. A
countdown is displayed on the screen for the user to
know exactly how much time the programme has left.
When this has reached zero, the machine will unlock
and the indication to open the door ("OPEn dOOr") will
appear on the screen.
