Additional options
By selecting one or more of the push- button options, basic programmes can be tailored to the type of laundry being washed.
“Pre-wash”
–Use for heavily soiled or stained laundry items.
–Available in the “COTTONS”, “PER- MANENT PRESS” and “DELICATES” programmes.
Add the required amount of powder detergent to compartment i and j.
“Water plus”
This increases the normal water level to a slightly higher level:
for particularly delicate fabrics in ad- dition to the “Gentle action” option,
in hard water areas, if more water is required for dispensing the deter- gent,
The “Water plus” option is active in the following programmes:
the wash and rinse cycles for COT- TONS.
the wash cycle for PERMANENT PRESS.
“Gentle action”
For actioning of lighty soiled items, or delicate fabrics which tend to pill. Drum movement is reduced by half. Available in the “COTTONS”, “PERMA- NENT PRESS” and “DELICATES” pro- grammes.
“Short”
For lightly soiled items. The length of the main wash is shortened. An addi- tional reduction in temperature is not recommended as this may lead to poor wash results.
Selecting the spin speed
Set the selector switch to the highest setting to save energy if the laundry is to be dried in a tumble dryer. The lower the spin speed selected, the more residual moisture left in the cloth- ing after spinning. A lower spin speed may be selected for especially delicate fabrics. The spin speed in the “PERMA- NENT PRESS” and “WOOLLENS” pro- gramme is automatically limited to 900 rpm, and in the “DELICATES” pro- gramme to 600 rpm.
“Without final spin”
If this option is selected, the laundry will remain suspended in water at the end of the programme. If the wash is to be spun, turn the spin speed selector from “Without final spin” to the desired spin speed. If spinning is not desired, turn the programme selector switch to “Drain”.
