EXTRA RINSE button
Thanks to the new electronic system it is possible to effect a new special rinse cycle. The
addition of more water and the new action combined of cycles of rotation of the drum with
load and unloading of water allow the laundry to be perfectly rinsed. This function has been
developed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which the least residue of
detergent can cause irritations or allergies. It is advisable to use this function for children’s
items, for washing very dirty items and for washing of towels whose fibers mostly have the
tendency to hold detergent.
This option is not available on SPECIALS programmes excluding the “Sports Wear
programme.
FAST IRON button
The “Fast Iron” function 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 – final two rinses with no spinning and then the fabrics are left in water
until it is time to unload. When you are ready to unload, press the “Fast Iron” button – this will
drain the load.
WOOLLENS & HAND WASH - after the final rinse the fabrics are left in water until it is time
to unload and the button indicator is blinking.
When you are ready to unload, press the "Fast Iron" button, this will drain and spin ready for
emptying.
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.
EXPRESS WASH button
Pressing this button reduces the time of the wash programme by a maximum of 50 minutes
depending on the programme and the temperature selected. The Express Wash button can
be used for washing loads of 1 to 6 kg. This option may only be utilised on cottons and
synthetics programmes.
