Prewash cycle increases programme duration approximately 15 min. 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 data on the “Energy Label” refer to the programme “Cotton 60°C”. * 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.

• In case of fragile or delicate linen, this option shortens the time for which the drum rotates. The linen is treated more delicately and creasing and crumpling are reduced.

“No spin” button

Especially for delicate garments to avoid wear and tear caused by the spin.

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.

“Half Load” button

• Reduces the water consumption in the “Cotton”

and “Synthetics” programmes especially during the rinse.

• Especially suitable for lightly soiled or small loads

(reduces the quantity of detergent).

• Not suitable for high temperature programmes.

“Rinse Hold” button

• The laundry remains in the last rinse water, without progressing to the spin cycle to avoid creasing and prevent colours from changing.

• This option is especially recommended for the “Synthetics” or “Delicate” programmes.

NOTES AND INDICATIONS FOR USE

• After switching your washing machine on, it does not start immediately: it needs some seconds in order to lock the door, fill water and then drum starts turning.

• Spinning has an interrupted start-up: the drum starts and stops running several times, to improve spin efficiency and to better balance the laundry.

• At the end of the spinning cycle the drum goes on reversing for some minutes: this helps you unloading the laundry.

• Do not exceed in detergents dosage: excessive foam formation may prevent spinning.

• The turning of the drum is stopped in several steps of the washing cycle due to optimization of energy consumption.
