Note: with the “Cotton” and “Synthetic” 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 final spin cycle to avoid creasing and prevent colours from changing.
