Functions

Night Cycle (button )

By selecting this option the machine will not drain the water of the last rinse, so as not to crease the laundry. As all spinning phases are suppressed, this washing cycle is very quiet and it can be selected at night or in times with a more economical power rate. On some programmes the rinses will be performed with more water.

When the programme has finished, the door remains locked to indicate that the water must be emptied out.

Rinse Hold (button )

By selecting this option the water of the last rinse is not emptied out to prevent the fabrics from creasing.

When the programme has finished, the door remains locked to indicate that the water must be emptied out.

To empty out the water see chapter «At the end of the programme».

Prewash (button )

Select this option if you wish your laundry to be prewashed at 30°C before the main wash. The prewash ends with a short spin in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics whereas in the programmes for delicate fabrics the water is only drained.

Intensive (button )

This option can be selected for heavily soiled laundry: the washing intensity will be increased and the washing time will be prolonged by few minutes depending on the selected type of fabric.

Super Quick (button )

A very short cycle for slightly soiled items that have been used or worn for a short time. The washing time will be reduced according to the type of fabric and the selected temperature.

In this case we recommend you to reduce the load size.

For the options compatibility with each programme, please refer to the «Programme table».
