hose if the inlet hose is too
short. Contact the service
centre for the replacement of
the inlet hose.
3.4 Water-stop device
The inlet hose has a water stop device.

in drain pipe in the room wall and
tighten it with a clamp.
4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
4.1 Special features
Your new washing machine meets all
modern requirements for an effective
treatment of laundry with low water,
energy and detergent consumption and
respectful of fabric care.
• The ProSense technology detects
the laundry load size defining the
programme duration in 30 seconds.
The washing programme is tailored to
the laundry load and the type of fabric
without consuming more time, energy
and water than necessary.
•The steam has a quick and easy way
to refresh the clothes. The gentle
ENGLISH 9

steam programmes remove odours
and reduce creases in dry fabrics so
they need little ironing.
The Plus Steam option, finishes
every cycle with gentle steam that
relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric
creasing. Ironing will be easier!
• Thanks to the Soft Plus option, the
fabric softener is uniformly spread out
in the laundry and deeply penetrates
the fabric fibres favouring a perfect
softness.

Programme Programme description
Anti-Allergy
White cotton items. This programme removes micro-or‐
ganisms thanks to a washing phase with the temperature
maintained above 60°C for some minutes. This helps in re‐
moving germs, bacteria, micro-organism and particles. An
additional rinsing phase ensures a proper removal of deter‐
gent residues and pollens/allergenic items. In this way the
wash is more effective.
20 min. - 3 kg
Cotton and synthetic items with light soil level or worn
only once.
Outdoor Do not use fabric softener and make sure that
there is no softener residue in the detergent
dispenser.
Outdoor clothing, technical, sport fabrics, waterproof
and breathable jackets, shell jackets with a removable
fleece or inner insulation. The recommended laundry
load is 2.5 kg.
This programme can also be used as water-repellent re‐
storing cycle, specifically tailored for treating clothes with a
hydrophobic coating. To perform the water-repellent restor‐
ing cycle, proceed as follows:
• Pour the washing detergent in the compartment .
•Pour a special water-repellent restorer for fabric in the
drawer compartment for fabric softener .
•Reduce the laundry load to 1 kg.
To further improve the water-repellent restorer
action, dry the laundry in a tumble dryer by set‐
ting the Outdoor drying programme (if availa‐
ble and if the garment care label permits tum‐
ble drying).

gramme performs a gentle rinsing phase, designed for den‐
im, that reduces fading and avoids washing powder resi‐
dues on the fibres.
