SPEED IRON button

Press the button to select or deselect this function. The Speed Iron function (not available on cottons programmes) minimizes creases as much as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics.

SYNTHETICS - 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 and the button indicator blinking. When you are ready to unload, press the "Speed Iron" 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 "Speed 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;

EXTRA RINSE button

Press the button to select or deselect this function. Thanks to the new electronic system, it is possible to effect a new special rinse cycle by using this button. The addition of a lot more water and the new action combining of cycles of rotation of the drum with loading and unloading of water, allow the laundry to be perfectly rinsed.

This function has been designed for the people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which the smallest residue of detergent can cause irritations or allergies. It advisable to also use this function for the children’s 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 WOOLLENS/HAND WASH programmes.

SPEED WASH button

Press the button to select or deselect this function. 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 "Speed Wash" button can be used for washing loads of 1 to 5 kg. This option may only be utilised on COTTONS and

SYNTHETICS programmes.

WASH TEMPERATURE selector

Can be turned in either direction

This washing machine is equipped with this device for setting the wash temperature you want. We recommend that the temperature shown on the label inside garments should never be exceeded. The most suitable temperature and cycle for each type of fabric is shown in the programme guide.

To protect fabrics, if the variable temperature dial has accidentally been set higher than that stated in the programme guide, the machine will lower the temperature automatically.

PROGRAMME selector with "OFF" position

Rotates in both directions. The machine is turned on by selecting a programme via the programme selector. This status will be indicated by the "STOP" indicator light flashing, this light will continue to flash until the machine has started or the machine is returned to the "OFF" position.

Press the "Start/Pause" button to start the selected cycle. Once a programme is selected the programme selector remains stationary on the selected

programme till cycle ends. Switch off the washing machine by turning the selector to "OFF".

Note: The programme selector must be returned to the "OFF" position at the end of each cycle or when starting a subsequent wash cycle prior to the next programme being selected and started.
