The option buttons should be selected before pressing the "Start/Pause" button.

PRE WASH button

D

 

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 first 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. Fabric conditioner should not be used for this programme.

EXPRESS WASH button

E

 

Pressing this button reduces the time of the wash programme by a maximum of 50 minutes depending on the programme and the temperature selected. The Express Wash button can be used for washing loads of 1 to 6 kg. This option may only be utilised on cottons and synthetics programmes.

EXTRA RINSE button

F

 

Thanks to the new electronic system it is possible to effect a new special rinse cycle. The addition of more water and the new action combined of cycles of rotation of the drum with load and unloading of water allow the laundry to be perfectly rinsed. This function has been developed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which the least residue of detergent can cause irritations or allergies. It is advisable to use this function for children’s items, for washing very dirty items and for washing of towels whose fibers mostly have the tendency to hold detergent.

This option is not available on SPECIALS programmes excluding the “Sports Wear” programme.

FAST IRON button

G

The “Fast Iron” 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 “Fast Iron” button – this will drain the load.

WOOLLENS & HAND WASH - after the final rinse the fabrics are left in water until it is time to unload and the button indicator is blinking.

When you are ready to unload, press the "Fast Iron" 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.
