Rinse hold: when you choose this option, the machine will not drain the water of the last rinse, this will ensure the minimum of creasing to laundry.
At the end of the cycle, the lights corresponding to the options “Rinse hold” and the “Door lock” are on, the “Start/Pause” button light goes out and the display shows a flashing «0».
The door cannot be opened because the water must be drained.
To empty out water there are 2 possibilities:
-Select Drain programme and press the
“Start/Pause” button : the water is emptied out without spinning.
-Select Spin programme. Select the spin speed by pressing the relevant button and then press the Start/Pause button. The water is emptied out and the laundry is spun at the selected spin speed.
Attention!
Before selecting Drain programme or Spin programme the selector dial must first be turned to the «Off» position.

4 Prewash button
Select this option if you wish your laundry to be prewashed before the main wash.
The prewash ends with a short spin in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only drained. This option can be selected for heavily soiled laundry.

This option can be used for lightly soiled garments in order to obtain a good washing programme in a short time. The washing time will be reduced according to the type of fabric and the selected temperature.
