laundry. By pressing the DELAY START button the
soak time can be prolonged up to 24 hours max. After
this time the wash cycle will automatically start.
This fonction is not available for wool and hand-wash

programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas
in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only

• QUICK: select this option for laundry that is only
slightly soiled (not for WOOL and HAND WASH
programme).
The washing time will be reduced according to the
type of fabric and the selected temperature.

7 OPTIONS button
Press this button to select the following options:
• SUPER RINSE: this option can be selected with all
programmes except the wool programme and hand
wash. The machine performs 4 rinses instead of 3.
This option is recommended for people who are

very soft.
• AA 40°: this option can be selected for cottons and
synthetics lightly or normally soiled with a
temperature of 40°C or higher.
If you select 40°C together with option AA 40°, the
machine will prolong the time at 40°C in the washing
phase. On cotton programme this will allow an A class
in energy efficiency and washing performance to be
achieved.
If you select 90°C and press the AA 40° button, the
washing temperature will be reduced from 95°C to
