Wash options

The option optimises washing to suit the quantity of laundry loaded into the machine, thereby reducing the overall wash cycle duration while minimising water and energy

consumption. Press the button to select the type of wash cycle desired:

Intense: vigorous wash cycle for garments with a heavy soil level.

Perform: standard wash cycle for garments with a normal soil level.

Fast: quick wash cycle for garments with a light soil level.

!This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (all three levels) and 6, 7, 8 (Perform and Fast levels).

Extra Rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

!It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, , .

Easy iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum, while the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (blue and orange

respectively). To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycles number 10-12, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry

is soaking; the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

!It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 9, 13, , .

Cool Wash

The Cool Wash function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle.

For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

!It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, , , .
