The remaining operational settings, i.e.
temperature maintainance time or spinning
time behave likewise.
Starting the wash cycle
Make sure that the cold water, hot water and
steam taps are open (the latter applies only to
steam-heated machines).
Turn ON the automatic thermomagnetic
cutoff switch on the wall.
Then fill the various dispenser compartments
with soap (foam-damping type) according
to cycle selection, i.e.:
A = prewash tray (when scheduled in the
wash cycle selected)
B = main wash tray
C= tray for other products to be added
during the last rinse
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
lock the door and will start executing the
steps scheduled in the program. Loading
the machine with less than 80% of its
rated capacity may hinder correct
operation and even cause damage.
Alarm and fault signalling
When faults arise (voltage drop,
overtemperature, water level error) the
washing machine notifies the user by a
number of alarms that appear on the front
panel DISPLAY unit. All alarm details are
dealt with in the "ALARMS" chapter.
End of cycle
CAUTION! Never force the door open.
Open by hand only after it has been
unlocked.
At any rate, before opening the door make
sure that the drum has come to a halt, the
water has been drained off and the
temperature inside the drum is below 40°C .
Should a potential drop occur, open the door
by pulling the manual puller downwards. To
reach the manual puller it is necessary to
unscrew and withdraw the machine's lower
front panel. After the door has been unlocked
manually, open it using the handle as
explained above and then put the panel back
in place.
This procedure applies to all models except
models 50 and 63. For these, after power
failure it is necessary to wait 90 seconds for
the door to be automatically unlocked.
How to correct tub water level reading
Under normal conditions, water level reading
needn't be corrected, but when special
installation factors like elevation ask for it, it
is possible to set the zero level value in the
tub as follows:
1) Open the door.
2) Sight-check that the tub is empty.
3) Hold the " UP" and " DOWN" keys
down simultaneously for at least 5
seconds.
4) The DISPLAY unit will read
"CALIBRATION"
5) Confirm the value read by the card
pressing the ENTER key.
6) The BUZZER will give out a beep and
the DISPLAY will resume its normal
functions.
If the water level is corrected, the procedure
has been carried out correctly. Otherwise the
machine will keep the zero value previously
stored.
7.2 CYCLE STEPS
All cycles or programs stored in the card are
made of a sequence of steps.
In practical terms, steps can be summarised
as follows:
1 Soak
2 Prewash
3 Wash
4 Rinse
5 Spin
6 Distribution
The various programs are nothing but a
definite sequence of steps to which certain
level, temperature, drum movement and other
settings are associated.
The different program steps are always
displayed in big print during cycle execution
along with corresponding symbol.
7.3 SETTING PARAMETERS
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
The programming procedure is organised in
two levels.
The first level is dedicated to the user, whereas
the second is aimed for the expert user,
maintenance technician or laundry manager.
Caution!
The second level is protected by a
PASSWORD and is described in the
programming manual.
All the programming that the common user
can access is explained in the cycle
programming instructions and in the
machine parameters section.
Cycle programming
The wash programs or cycles can be
summarised as a sequence of actions that the
appliance carries out from machine start to
the end of the program.
The various actions are listed in the "STEPS"
menu below.
Foreword: the washing machine is delivered
with series of steps, i.e. actions, stored in
memory. These enable the execution of the
preset standard cycles.
Using the programmer it is possible to change
the existing programs or create new ones
starting from pre-set steps. In this case the
user does not need to posess specific
knowledge on the wash diagram that best
suits the fabrics to be washed.
In other words, it is possible to enable or
disable a certain step in a standard program
or either choose existing steps as appropriate
and add them one by one. Steps will be
carried out in the order in which they were
put in.

The user can thus customise programs
according to his/her own sequence of steps.
If this should not be sufficient to suit the
specific requirements, it will be necessary to
access the "steps menu" and create
customised steps, which can then be included
in a program, either existing or new.
The "CYCLES" menu is accessed as
follows:
Open the washer door: all programming
actions must be performed with the door
open. The programing environment cannot
be accessed when the door is closed.
Hold down the "
MODE" until the
"CYCLES" reading appears. Confirm using
"ENTER". The display will view the first
among the 20 available CYCLES OR
PROGRAMS. Use the "UP" and "DOWN"
keys to scroll the complete list of cycles,
which are associated words denoting their
name, like "WHITES" or type like
"STRONG". Free, meaning empty cycles
are
simply
marked
PROGRAMMED".
Once the PROGRAM to be altered has been
chosen, press "ENTER". The display will
then read the following items:
COMMENT
STEPS
TYPE
COPY FROM
COPY TO
The various items are described below.
COMMENT
Go to the "COMMENT" field using the
"UP" and "DOWN" keys. Confirm the
selection by "ENTER". A text field will be
displayed, which is made of 10 characters
and can be used to assign a program name,
°
e.g. "WHITES 90
C". To enter characters,
press the "SELECT" key: all the available
characters will be viewed, which can be
selected using the "UP" and "DOWN" keys.
Confirmation is automatic.
To move the cursor inside a word that is
being entered use the "UP" and "DOWN"
keys.
To delete a letter, point it with the cursor and
press "START".
When the desired text has been keyed in,
confirm by "ENTER" and exit by pressing
the "MODE" key.
STEPS
Move to the "STEPS" field using the "UP"
and "DOWN" keys.
Confirm the selection by "ENTER".
The first step associated to the currently
selected cycle will then appear, i.e. step N°
01, which is displayed in big print.
The number assigned to the step along with
the relevant type and comment will be
displayed in small print too.
The steps composing the currently selected
cycle and the sequence of actions associated
thereto can be scrolled using the "UP" and
"DOWN" keys: for example, soak, prewash,
wash and intermediate short spin, rinse and
so on until the last scheduled step is viewed.
A program can hold up to maximum of 25
