SELECT SPECIAL OPTIONS - The corresponding lights go on (if not selectable: rapid flashing for 3 seconds)

“Easy Ironing” button

• To lessen creasing, the water quantity is increased and the clothes are spun very gently at reduced power. This makes your laundry significantly damper at the end of the programme.

“Eco” button

• The duration of the wash is extended and the temperature reduced. This saves you up to 30% energy and mantains good washing results.

“Prewash” button

• Only for heavily soiled laundry (e.g. sand or granular dirt). Programme duration is increased by some 15 min.

“Intensive Rinse” button

• An additional rinse cycle is carried out.

• This option is particularly suitable for areas with very soft water, washing baby linen and helps people with detergent allergies.

“Rinse Hold” button

• The laundry remains in the last rinse water without being spun: discoloration of the laundry and additional creasing are prevented.

• This option is particularly recommended for the programme “Synthetics” or “Delicates”.

• This function is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a la ter time.

The programme has reached the “Rinse

Note:
