Wash options
Super Wash
This option offers a high-
performance wash due to the
greater quantity of water used
in the initial phase of the cycle,
and due to the increased wash
cycle duration, is particularly
useful for the removal of
stubborn stains. It can be
used with or without bleach.
If you desire bleaching, insert
the extra tray compartment
(3) into compartment 1. When
pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the
“max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure).
To bleach laundry without carrying out a full wash cycle,
pour the bleach into the extra compartment 3, select the
“Rinse” cycle and activate the “Super Wash” option .

Easy Iron
By selecting this option, 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 drum will rotate
slowly; the “Easy Iron” and START/PAUSE indicator lights will
flash. To end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the
“Easy Iron” button. For the Silk wash cycle, the machine
will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the “Easy
Iron” indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the
laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button
or the “Easy Iron” button.

Time Saver
If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be
reduced by 30%-50%, depending on the selected cycle,
thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving.
Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

Extra rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased
and optimal residual detergent removal is guaranteed. It is
particularly useful for skin which is sensitive to detergents. We
recommend this option is used with a full load of washing, or
when a large amount of detergent is required.

(*) The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display
.
(*) Note: 10 minutes after the START, the machine will recalculate the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle on the basis of the load inside it; this value will then be shown on the display.
The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as
water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
