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.
* 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.

SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION

“Bi Speed” button

• Reduces the predetermined automatic

maximum spin speed.
In some programmes the maximum final spin
speed is limited to go easy on your laundry
items. Selection of a higher spin speed is not
possible.

“Half Load” button

• Reduces water consumption, above all during

rinsing.

• Suitable for lightly-soiled laundry and small
loads (max. 3 kg).

“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” and “Delicates”.

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

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 filter regularly and clean it if
necessary.
