Note:

“Rinse Hold” button

• The laundry remains in the last rinse water without progressing to the final 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 final spin cycle for the present wash programme.

If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the programme selector knob to the “Drain” programme.

“Easy Ironing” button

• Increases the water quantity and the clothes are spun very soft.

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, electronicallycontrolled 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 filter regular and clean it if necessary.
