Wash cycles and functions
Wash functions
Super Wash
Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial
phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle
duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.
! It cannot be used with the , , and “Partial wash
cycles”.
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 text “END OF CYCLE” will appear
on the display. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE
button or the “Reduced creases” button.
For the Silk/Curtains cycle, the machine will end the cycle
while the laundry is soaking; the “Reduced creases” and
START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the
text “RINSE HOLD” will appear on the display. To drain the
water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/
PAUSE button or the “Reduced creases” button.
! It may not be used with the , “Fastwash 30’”, and
“Pump out” programmes.

Mini Load
This function is recommended for when the load of
laundry is equal to half, or less than half, of the maximum
recommended load (see Table of wash cycles).
! It cannot be used in conjunction with the “Fastwash 60’”,
“Fastwash 30’”,
and “Pump out” programmes.
Timer Saver
Reduces the duration of the wash cycle.
! It cannot be used with the , , and “Partial wash cycles”.
Eco Wash
The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the
water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to
the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified
wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash
results in the same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of
a liquid detergent.
! It cannot be used with the , , and “Partial wash
cycles”.
