Use
Control panel
The control panel features a programme chart to help select the best wash program. The "NO SPINNING" button excludes all spinnings on intense programs. The 1/2 button reduces rinses for energy and water saving. An On/off lamp indicates operation.
Temperature selector
Select the washing temperature according to laundry type. The "*" symbol allows cold water wash for electricity saving.
Program selector
Turn the program selector clockwise. If you pass the desired program, continue turning clockwise instead of reversing.
Operating sequence
Before first use, run an empty cotton cycle at 60°C with a small amount of detergent. Then, place laundry, add detergent and additives, select temperature and program, and start the machine. At the end, wait for the door lock to release, remove laundry, turn off the tap, unplug, and leave the door ajar.
Troubleshooting and error codes

|---|---|
| The machine does not start up: | • The door is not firmly closed. • The machine is not plugged in or there is no power at the socket. • The main fuse has blown. • The programme selector is not positioned correctly or the programme selector knob has not been pulled out. |
| The machine does not fill: | • The water tap is closed. • The inlet hose is squashed or kinked. • The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. • The door is not properly closed. |
