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 takes over. The program
selected can now be started by simply
pressing the "START" key. If it should be
neccessary to open the door again, press the
SELECT key again.
As soon as the cycle starts the display readings
change as follows.
In other words, the display then reads the
various steps composing the program, 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 the 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 the activation of
soap pumps, on heating and draining.
At the end of the wash program the display
reads the event clearly and enables the buzzer.
Straight afterwards the door will open
automatically and it will be 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 go straight to the end of the cycle and
enable door opening, hold down the said key
for 5 minutes.
Pausing ("PAUSE
")
To set the machine to pause during cycle
execution, press the " UP" and " DOWN"
keys simultaneously. Timing control, drum
movement, water in-taking 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.
As soon as the relevant two keys are pressed
and the pause begins, a meter 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.
CAUTION!
If the machine was set to pause during a step
in which the water was heated, water
temperature will inevitably decrease!
Reading of working settings
During program execution and of the relevant
cycle steps , 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°
identifying the program selected and the
name and number denoting the step in
progress, 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. The water in the tub
will therefore be heated.
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
17
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.
The remaining operational settings, i.e.
temperature maintenance time or spinning
time behave likewise.
Starting the wash cycle
Make sure that the cold water, warm water
and steam taps are open (the latter applies
only to steam-heated machines).
Turn ON the automatic thermomagnetic
cutoff switch on the wall.
After that, fill the soap bins with detergent
(foam-damping type) according to the cycle
selected. Remember that the bin on the left is
used for pre-wash (if the cycle at issue
includes it), the middle bin is for the main
wash, and the liquid-soap bin on the right is
used for the softener and last-rinse agents.
Select a program using the "SELECT" and
" UP" or " DOWN" keys simultaneously.
Load the machine and shut the door. Then
push the "START" key. The machine will
start executing the steps scheduled in the
program.
Alarm and fault signalling
When faults arise (voltage drop,
supertemperature, water level error) the
washing machine notifies the user by a
number of alarms that appear on the front
panel DISPLAY. All alarm details are dealt
with in the "ALARMS" chapter.
End of cycle
CAUTION: The door must never be
forced open; to open it use the "Select"
button or open it mechanically following
the instructions below.
At any rate, before opening the door make
sure that the drum has stopped, the water has
been drained and the temperature inside the
drum is below 40°C (take a look at the
temperature display). Should a potential drop
occur during the wash cycle, it will be
possible to open the door by jerking the
manual puller downwards (see fig. 2).
The device can be reached by a screwdriver
with a small straight bit; insert it in the
appropriate hole located at the bottom of the
machine beneath the lock. First unlock the
door and then open it.
CAUTION: before opening the machine
manually make sure that there is no water
in the tub.
How to correct tub water level reading
Under normal conditions, water level reading
needn't be corrected, but when special
