Cold wash: Not heated
Spin speed The spin speed can be changed in steps of 200
rpm (1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400 rpm, stop after
rinsing, 1500,1400 rpm). Delicates can thus be
spun at a low spin speed. However, this increases
the drying time (greater energy consumption for
tumble drying).
Delayed start Take advantage of cheap-rate electricity (setting
range of up to 24 hours). When the time set is
reached, the programme starts automatically.
