6 OPTIONS button
Press this button to select the following options:
•PREWASH: select this option if you wish your laundry to be prewashed before the main wash (not available for wool).
The prewash ends with a short spin at 650 rpm in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only drained.
•AA 40°: this option can be selected for cottons and synthetics lightly or normally soiled with a temperature of 40°C and higher.
If you select 40°C , the machine will prolong the time at 40°C in the washing phase, this will allow an A class in energy efficiency and washing performance to be achieved.
If you select 90°C and press the AA 40° button, the washing temperature will be reduced from 90°C to 60°C.
If you select 60°C or 50°C and press the AA 40° button, the washing temperature will be reduced to 40°C. In both cases the washing time will be prolonged.
•QUICK: select this option for laundry that is only slightly soiled.
The washing time will be reduced according to the type of fabric and the selected temperature.
The PREWASH, the QUICK and AA 40°options cannot be selected together.
Important!
The first time you use the washing machine, when you switch it on, it may give an audible warning signal. This is due to the fact that the washing machine has performed a washing cycle during the manufacturer’s inspection tests, and this cycle has not been erased after its completion.
