Prewash cycle might increase programme duration. Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance
with Standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the
water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.
* The remaining time indicator can similarly deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the household
conditions applicable at that time.
** To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the
water out.
ADD DETERGENTS, CLOSE THE DOOR
AND SELECT THE PROGRAMME
Add the detergent as described in the programme
table or in the chapter “Detergents and Additives”
in the booklet.
1. Turn the programme selector knob to the
desired programme and temperature.
2. The remaining time display shows the duration
of the chosen programme (in hours and
minutes) and after taking some seconds for
calculating, the indication of the “Start/Pause”
button is flashing.
3. The programme sequence and the predefined
spin speed indication corresponding to the
selected programme lights up.
SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION
Selecting any option the indication lights up.
When the combination of programme, additional
options and temperature is not possible, the
indication lights switch off automatically. Unsuitable
combinations of options are deselected
automatically.
“Prewash” button
• Only for heavily soiled loads (for example sand,
granular dirt) sensible. The cycle time increases
approximately 15 min.
“Intensive Rinse” button
• More water and a longer time in rinse cycle is
added.
• This option is particularly suitable for areas with
very soft water, washing baby linen and helps
people with allergies.
“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”, “Daily” and
“Delicates”.
• This function is particularly useful if you want to
postpone spinning to a later time, or if you want
to drain only.
Note: The programme stops to “Rinse Hold” at
the time the “Rinse Hold” light in the programme
sequence indication is on.
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 counterclockwise to
the “Drain” programme and press the
“Start/Pause” button again when the indication
next to it is flashing.
“Spin Speed” button
• Every programme has an automatic predefined
maximum spin speed.
• Press the button to set another spin speed.
• If the spin speed “0” is selected, the final spinning
is cancelled but intermediate spin peaks remain
during rinse. The water is drained out only.
