Instructions for an Ariston A1600WD

General Operation

• Press and hold the "On/Off" button for two seconds. The LED lights will all switch on momentarily and the "On-Off/Door Lock" LED will flash. Find the "On/Off" button to the top left of the "Program" knob located on the far right hand side of the unit. Load all of the clothes you wish to wash into the machine and close the door. Select your desired program using the "Program" knob and then choose the temperature by using the "Temperature" knob, which is the furthest left of the three dials. Reduce the spin speed if required by pressing the "Reduced Spin" button, located to the left of the "On/Off" button. Load your detergent and fabric softener into the drawer on the left-hand side of the unit. Press and hold the "Start/Reset" button for two seconds to set the program running. The "On-Off/Door Lock" LED will flash when the program is complete.
  
  

Programs 1 to 5

• Use one of the first five programs if you are washing cottons. The first two options (programs "1" and "2") can be used if you are washing very dirty whites. Both of these should be set to 90 degrees C in temperature. Program "1" includes a pre-wash, whereas program "2" doesn't. Program "1" lasts 155 minutes and program "2" lasts 137. Use program "3" set at 60 degrees C to wash "fast" colors (those resistant to running) or dirty white clothes and use program "4" at 40 degrees for non-fast colors or dirty white clothes. Program "5" should be used to wash cotton clothes.
  
  

Programs 6 to 9

• Use a program from "6" to "9" to wash synthetic material clothes, such as nylon. Select program "6" if you are washing very soiled fast colors. The temperature should be set at 50 degrees C, and this wash will take 84 minutes. Use program "7" set at 40 degrees C if you are washing slightly dirty fast colors, and use program "8" at 30 degrees if they are non-fast colors. Program "9" is a drying setting for synthetic fabrics.
  
  

Programs 10 to 11

• Use program "10" set at 40 degrees C if you are washing wool. This setting takes 38 minutes to complete. Use program "11" if you are washing any other delicate fabrics, such as silk, curtains or viscose. Set the temperature at 30 degrees C for this setting. Program "11" takes 54 minutes to complete.
