SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION

“No spin” button

• Excludes spinning from programme, press

button. Suitable for delicate laundry.
Note: with the “Cotton” and “Synthetics”
programmes a short spin cycle is provided in any
case, even if the exclusion has been selected, in
order to optimize rinsing results.

“Rinse Hold” button

• The laundry remains in the last rinse water

without progressing to the nal spin cycle to
avoid creasing and prevent colours from
changing.

• This option is particularly recommended for the
programme “Synthetics” or “Delicates”.

• This function is particularly useful if you want to
postpone spinning to a later time, or if you want
to drain only.

Terminate the “Rinse Hold” option:

• Press the “Rinse Hold” button again; the

programme will terminate automatically with the
nal spin cycle for the present wash
programme.

NOTES AND INDICATIONS FOR USE

• WATER LEVEL

It may not be visible as the cycle is optimised
for a minimum water consumption without
compromising washing results.

• SPIN SPEED CONTROL

Spin speed may be reduced automatically or
may even be excluded in the case of small
loads with highly absorbent garments (e.g.
bathrobes, bathmat).
This control avoids cloth and machine damage
and excessive vibrations and consequent noise
produced by the machine due to load
unbalance: by selecting high spin speeds the
noise level increases.

• MOTOR NOISE

The running noises of the new, electronically­ controlled motor are not the same as the ones
you are used to from your old appliance. Don't
be surprised - modern technology has a modern
sound.

• CLEANING THE FILTER

To ensure an impeccable function of the pump,
check the lter regular and clean it if necessary.
