3.5 Options
Temperature Touchpad ( 
)
Press this touchpad repeatedly to increase or decrease the wash temperature if you want your laundry to be washed at a temperature different from the one proposed by the washing machine.
Spin Selection Touchpad ( 
)
Press this touchpad repeatedly to increase or decrease the spin speed or select Rinse Hold, if you want your laundry to be spun at a speed different from the one proposed by the washing machine.
●No Spin ( 
)
No spin option eliminates all the spin phases and increase the number of rinses.
●Rinse Hold ( 
)
By selecting this option the water of the last rinse is not emptied out and the drum turns regularly to prevent the laundry creases.
The door is still locked to indicate that the water must be emptied out.
The door stays locked with the water in the drum. To continue the cycle you must press 
(Start/Pause).
Rinse Plus Touchpad ( 
)
This option is recommended for people who are allergic to detergents, and in areas where the water is very soft. Press it to add two rinse phases to a program. The indicator of this option comes on.
Delay End Touchpad ( 
)
Before you start the program, this option makes it possible to define the end of the washing program from minimum 1 hour to maximum 19 hours.
If program duration is longer than 3 hours minimum Delay End option starts from 4 hours.
Press the Delay End touchpad to choose the end time as your wish. The display shows the number of hours and the indicator beside the touchpad is on.
This option must be selected after choosing the wash program, and before pressing the “Start/Pause” touchpad.
For example, if the program duration of your selected program is 3.20 hours and you define the “Delay End” time to 6 hours. This means your wash program will finish in 6 hours. (See diagram)
