Notes For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. At the end of the wash cycle, before opening the appliance, wait 3 minutes for the doors of the drum to face upwards. Special programme Daily 30' (programme 9 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (9 at 30°C), you can wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Setting the spin speed
Description
. The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting symbol The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum speed for each programme.
Programmes Detergents
To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Do not open the detergent dispenser while the appliance is in operation. Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures. Never force the washing machine door: this could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent any accidental openings. In the event of a malfunction, do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs. Always keep children well away from the appliance while in operation. Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Before loading your laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty.
Saving energy and respecting the environment
Environmentally-friendly technology If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this is because thanks to the latest Ariston technology, your washing machine only needs less than half the amount of water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect the environment. Saving on detergent, water, energy and time To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy. [. . . ] The START/RESET button has not been pressed.
Description
The washing machine fails to load water.
Programmes
The washing machine continuously loads and unloads water.
The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see page 3). If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops. [. . . ]
