Functions
The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

conjunction with the selected wash cycle.
Reduced creases
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of
creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the REDUCED
CREASES and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the
phase will remain lit in a fixed
manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the REDUCED CREASES button.
For the Silk (10) and Lingerie (8) wash cycles, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking, the
REDUCED CREASES and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the RINSE phase will remain lit in
a fixed manner. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the
REDUCED CREASES button.

recommended load (see Table of wash cycles).
