Door button
A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the
end of the cycle.‘Door locked’ indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully
closed. Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the door locked neon
has gone off before opening the door. As a safety measure check that there is no
water evident in the drum.
Caresse
This option is available on synthetics, delicates and the Handwash special programme.
When this option is selected for woollens and the Handwash programmes, the machine will
stop in the final rinse stage and the load will be held within the water in the drum. This
reduces the creasing thus enabling easier ironing.To continue with the wash cycle, press
the “CARESSE” button and the programme will restart.
When the option is selected for synthetics the programme is completed by a short, very low
spin speed.The laundry may be left in the drum in this condition without the risk of
excessive creasing. If a spin cycle is required please select the appropriate spin (see
Programme Guide).
When the option is selected for delicate programmes, the machine stops in the final rinse
stage and the load will be held within the water in the drum, thus reduces creasing and
enabling easier ironing. Press the “CARESSE” button to continue with the programme.The
machine will the pump out the remaining water and the programme will conclude with a low
speed spin for approximately 15 seconds. Finally, the programme carries out a brief
tumbling action to “loosen” the items in the load.
Time Saver Button
This option can be utilised on cottons and synthetics. By selecting the option, the wash
time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the programme selected.
90° Whites
This option is to be utilised on programme 1. For whites and linens the temperature can be
increased from 60° to 90°.This option is suitable for stained and/or heavily soiled laundry.
The length of the programme will be slightly increased when the 90° Whites option is
selected.
Extra Rinse button
This option causes more water to be added at the rinse stage.This is important to avoid
skin irritation from detergent residues for people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting
the Extra Rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics, requiring
the use of a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains items made of towelling
whose fabrics have a greater tendency to retain detergent.
