The door block lamp
The safety lamp indicates that the
washing machine door is blocked
to prevent it from being opened
accidentally. To avoid any
damages, you must wait for the
lamp to switch itself off before
you open the door. You must
wait around three minutes.
Anti-crease
This function (represented by the
symbol
) interrupts the wash
programme, keeping the washing
soaking in water before draining.
It is only enabled in programmes
for synthetic fabrics, silk and
curtains. It is very useful,
because it prevents delicate and
synthetic fabrics from creasing
(for example, when you cannot
take the washing out at the end
of the wash cycle but only a few
hours later). The programme can
be completed by turning knob A
one notch. In the case of
synthetic fabrics, should you
prefer draining rather than a spin
cycle, turn knob A until you have
selected the symbol
(Drain).
Rapid wash
This button reduces the length of
the wash programme by about
30%. It cannot be used with
special programmes (see page 18)
or those for wool and silk.
Stain removal (see page 21)
Thanks to this command, Mar-
gherita will carry out a more in-
tensive wash that optimises the
effectiveness of the liquid
additives, thus allowing more
resistant stains to be removed.
When you press the stain removal
button, you cannot activate the
pre-wash cycle (G).
Pre-wash
With this button, you can pre-
wash on all programmes except
the wool programme and the
special programmes (see page
18).
On-off
When button H is pressed, the
washing machine is switched on,
when it is not the machine is
switched off.
Turning the appliance off does
not cancel the selected
programme.
The on-off lamp
Lamp I flashes when the appliance
is switched on and awaiting a
programme to be set. A steady light
means the appliance has accepted
the selected programme.

Understanding the control panel
Making the right choice is important. And its easy.
Programme selector knob
and programmed start
Use this knob to select the wash
programme.
Turn this knob clockwise only.
To select a programme, you
should turn the knob so that the
symbol/number of the desired
programme is in line with the
pointer on the control panel.
Now press on/off button H
(position ON), pilot lamp I will
start flashing.
After 5", the setting will be
accepted, pilot lamp I will stop
flashing (staying lit) and the wash
cycle will begin.
Should you wish to interrupt the
programme in progress or set a
new one, select one of the
symbols
(Stop/Reset) and wait
5" : when the cancellation has
been accepted, pilot lamp I
flashes, and you can then turn the
appliance off.
You can use this knob to delay
the appliance's operation.
Select one of the four delay time
positions, press the on/off button
H (position ON) and wait 5". The
setting has now been accepted
(pilot lamp I stays lit) and you
can select the programme you
desire.
Pilot lamp I has a particular
flashing motion (2" on and 4"
off) to indicate that a delayed
start has been set.
During this phase, you can open
the appliance door and change
the washing load, should you
wish to do so.
After the wash cycle has been set
and accepted by the washing
machine, turning the knob will
have no effect (except for when
it is on position
Stop/Reset).
Temperature control knob
It is used to set the wash tempe-
rature indicated in the
programme table. It also allows
you to reduce the temperature
recommended for the selected
programme, and even to set a
cold wash cycle (
).
Detergent dispenser
It is divided into three
compartments:
1. Detergent for pre-washing;
2. Detergent for the wash cycle;
3. Fabric softeners.
The washing machine is
equipped with extra
compartment 4 (provided) for
the bleach, to be inserted in
compartment 1.
Slow spin
Use this button to reduce the
spinning speed from 900 to 400
rpm for the cotton programmes
and from 750 to 400 rpm for the
synthetic fabrics programmes.
