6-7 OPTIONS buttons

Press this button to select the following options:

PREWASH: select this option if you wish your laundry to be prewashed before the main wash

(not available for WOOL and HAND WASH programme).

The prewash ends with a short spin at 650 rpm in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only drained.

The Prewash, the Soak and the Quick Wash functions cannot be selected together.

SOAK: select this option if you wish to perform a soak of about 30 minutes at 30°C to your laundry. By pressing the DELAY START button the soak time can be prolonged up to 24 hours max. After this time the wash cycle will automatically start.

This function is not available for wool and hand- wash cycle.

The soak ends with a short spin at 650 rpm in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only drained.

QUICK WASH; select this function for laundry that is only slightly soiled (not for WOOL and HAND

WASH programme).

The washing time will be reduced according to the type of fabric and the selected temperature.

SUPER RINSE: can be used with all programmes except the WOOL and HAND WASH programme. The machine performs 4 rinses instead of 3.

This option is recommended for people who are allergic to detergents and in areas where the water is very soft.

ECO: this option is available only with cotton programme at 95°-60°-40° C and synthetics programme at 60°-40° C.

If you select this option the temperature automatically decreases and, consequently, the washing time increases.

This function can be used with normally soiled laundry in order to save energy.

The Super Rinse and the Eco options can be selected together by means of the relevant button.
