EXTRA RINSE BUTTON
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 button is not available in the Wool/Hand wash programmes.

WASH TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB

The button reduces spin speed to 400 r.p.m.
G
The option buttons should be selected before pressing
the "Start/Pause" button.
Note: this model is fitted with an electronic device that checks
the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly unbalanced
the machine will re-balance it automatically to carry out the
normal spin.
If, after several attempts, balance is not restored, a reduced spin
speed will be used.
If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin stage will be cancelled.
This helps limit vibration, reduce noise output and improve the
washing machine’s lifespan
.
CREASE GUARD button
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/HAND WASH – 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.
