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.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in
conjunction with the selected wash cycle.
Delay start
To set a delayed start for the selected wash cycle, press the button repeatedly until the desired delay time is
displayed (this may be between 1 hour and 24 hours).
To disable the function press the button until the text
is displayed.
N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.
This option is enabled with all 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).
This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 11, 12, 13, B, C.
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.

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.
This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, B, C.
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.
