booklet complies with the following
Directives and harmonised standards:
73/23 EEC, 93/68 EEC, 89/336 EEC, 92/
31 EEC, 93/68 EEC
EN60335-1, EN60335-2-4, EN60335-2-7,

EN55104.
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND
ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
7.1 OPERATION
As soon as the washing machine is switched
on, the display reads the software version
installed and the software release date for a
few seconds.
Caution!
The release date refers to the software
installed and has nothing to do with
machine assembly or testing and is no
reference date for guarantee purposes.
The display then lists various details, i.e,
from top left:
- the number denoting the program selected.
- the maximum wash temperature that the
program achieves.
- the length of the whole program, including
water intaking and draining, heating and
cooling down. These values are effective
cycle lengths as stored in memory, basing on
real operation. They are intended as
references and have no influence on cycle
completion.
- cycle type, i.e. whether it is delicate, medium
or strong.
- program name, e.g. whites, woolens,
curtains etc.
- the words "waiting for START" if the
door is closed or "door open" if it is open.
When either the " UP" or " DOWN" key is
pressed, the display reads the steps
composing the wash program for a few
seconds.
Program selection and consequently all the
relevant details, incl. maximum temperature,
total cycle time, can be changed by pressing
the "SELECT" plus either the " UP" or
" DOWN" key. All indicated values refer
to the new program selection.
When the door is closed, the "door open"
reading is dismissed and the " waiting for
start" reading intervenes. The program
selected can now be started by simply
pressing the "START" key.
On cycle start the display reading change as
follows.
In other words, the display then reads the
various steps composing the cycle as they
are carried out, from the first to the last
scheduled step. All steps are displayed in
large print along with the relevant symbol
and are clearly visible.
The display alternates the step name with the
time remaining to the end of cycle, which
decreases as the program goes on. The
number and name corresponding to the step
in progress are displayed in small print.
During step execution, the display keeps
signalling any events concerning the cycle
in progress by the use of symbols.
For example, as illustrated in the figure, the
top left corner of the display reads various
symbols that provide information on the
water level in the tub, on soap pumps
operation, heating and draining.
At the end of the wash program the display
reads the event clearly and enables the buzzer.
Straight afterwards the "open door" message
appears and it is possible to remove the
washing from the machine.
Changing cycle selection after the start
After the start, the program in progress can
be changed before two minutes have elapsed.
During the first two minutes of a cycle, this
is actually indicated by the square blinking
around the P that stands for Program; after
the square stops blinking it is no longer
possible to change cycle selection unless by
scrolling the program fast forward to the end
or stopping it and then selecting a different
cycle.
Fast-forwarding cycle steps
To fast-forward the steps of the cycle in
progress, press the "START" key repeatedly.
To reach the end of the cycle directly and
enable door opening, hold down the said key
for 5 minutes.
Pausing ("PAUSE
")
To schedule a pause during cycle execution,
press the " UP" and " DOWN" keys
simultaneously. Timing control, drum
movement, water intaking and heating are
then suspended.
When pausing, the door is interlocked and
the drain valve is closed, so that the water
existing in the tub is not drained off.
Of course, it is not possible to schedule a
pause when the machine is spinning,
whatever the spinning speed.
18
As soon as the relevant two keys are pressed
and the pause begins, a device starts timing
the pause, whose length is read in the hh/mm
format.
To resume cycle execution exactly from the
point it was suspended, just press the
"START" key.
Warning
If the machine was set to pause during a step
envisaging heating, water temperature will
inevitably decrease!
Reading of operational settings
During cycle execution various readings
concerning operation are available.
To view this information just press the "
MODE" key during program execution.
The display will keep on reading the n°
referring to the selected program and the
name and number denoting the step
underway, but the display bottom portion
will change as illustrated.
In this case the display reads the maximum
temperature and maximum water level to be
reached on a black background, with actual
temperature and water level displayed above.
It is worth remarking that the symbol in the
top right corner indicates that the heating is
on. In this example, the present temperature
is 37°C so that the machine will keep on
heating until it is 40°C.
To view other readings like type of water
taken in, active soap dispenser, soap pump
enabled, motor operation timing etc, press
the "
MODE" key again and again. After
all these details are scrolled, the display
shows the first reading, i.e. the step symbol
and name in big print.
During spinning steps, which envisage drum
rotation solely, the only details available are
speed rates.
Changing step operational settings
As explained above, it is possible to switch
the display view by simply pressing the "
MODE" key during cycle execution.
The values read for the various steps can be
increased and decreased by holding down
the " UP" and " DOWN" keys respectively.
In other words, it is possible to alter the
working parameters of an action in progress.
For example, when taking in water it is
possible to change the water level setting. To
do this press the "
MODE" until the
relevant reading is viewed, and then alter the
value using the " UP" or " DOWN" keys:
the value will gradually increase or decrease
in cm, and this will affect the setting displayed
on a black background, i.e. the maximum
value to be reached. The same applies to
heating functions: it is possible to alter the
maximum temperature to be reached using
the " UP" and " DOWN" keys.
