“SENSITIVE CARE” button
By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed
Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats with care the fibres of
garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.
The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined
action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which
have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that
the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also
increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This
function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even
a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.
You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,
or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of
detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens/Hand Wash programs.

“DRYING SELECTION” button
With the programme selector not in the OFF position, press the button to select the required
drying programme; an indicator will light to display the drying result selected each time you
press the button.
To cancel the selection before the start of a drying programme, press the button repeatedly
until the indicators go out or return the programme selector to the OFF position.
To cancel the cycle during the drying phase, hold the button down for 2 seconds until the
cooling indicator lights up; given the high temperature inside the drum, we recommend that
you allow the dryer to complete the cool down period before returning the programme
selector to the OFF position and removing the laundry.

“EASY IRON” button
The Easy Iron function (Not available on COTTON programmes) minimizes creases as
much as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific
fabrics.
MIXED FABRICS - the water is gradually cooled throughout the final two rinses with no
spinning and then a delicate spin assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.
DELICATE FABRICS – after the final two rinses with no spinning the machine stops in the
final rinse stage and the option indicators blink. The load is held in the water in the drum,
thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing.
WOLLENS/SILK – after the final rinse the load is held in the water in the drum, thus
reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing and the option indicators blink.
To complete the cycle press the Easy Iron button and the machine will pump out the water
and complete the cycle.
If you do not want to spin the clothes and activate drain only:
- Turn the programme selector to the "OFF" position;
- Select programme drain only ;
- Switch on the appliance again by pressing the "Start/Pause" button.
