PRE-WASH BUTTON

E

This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used only on some programmes as shown in the programmes table.

Detergent for this programme should be added to the compartment of the soap drawer labelled “I” (Please refer to Detergent Drawer Section of manual). We recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack and fabric conditioner should not be used for this programme.

EXTRA RINSE BUTTON

F

Thanks to the new electronic system , acting on the button is possible to effect a new special rinse cycle. The addition of a lot of more water and the new action combined of cycles of rotation of the drum with load and unloading of water, allow to get laundry perfectly rinsed.

This function has been studied for the people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which also a least residue of detergent can cause irritations or allergies.

It advises to also use this function for the children items and in case of washings of very dirty items, for which it is due to use a lot of detergent, or in the washing of towelling items whose fibers mostly have the tendency to hold the detergent.

This option is not available on SPECIALS programmes excluding the SPORTS programme.

CREASE GUARD button

G

Press the button to select or deselect this function.

The Crease Guard function minimizes creases as much as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics.

MIXED FABRICS - the water is gradually cooled throughout the final two rinses with no spinning and then a delicate spin assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.

DELICATE FABRICS – final two rinses with no spinning and then the fabrics are left in water until it is time to unload. When you are ready to unload, press the "Crease Guard" button – this will drain.

WOOLLENS/SILK – after the final rinse the fabrics are left in water until it is time to unload and the button indicator blinking.

When you are ready to unload, press the "Crease Guard" button, this will drain and spin ready for emptying.

If you do not want to spin the clothes and activate drain only:

-Turn the programme selector to the "OFF" position;

-Select programme drain only ;

-Switch on the appliance again by pressing the "Start/Pause" button.

SPIN SPEED CONTROL

H

ROTATES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs. By adjusting the control, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled altogether-position.

Note:

The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced.

This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so prolongs the life of your machine.
