PREWASH
The machine performs a prewash cycle at 30°C max. The prewash cycle
ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics, and
with emptying of the water without spinning for Delicates.
This option is not available with the wool programme and cannot be
used with

Important: By depressing at the same time buttons
(PREWASH) and
(QUICK) the machine will perform an extra rinse (see page 27) and
by depressing (PREWASH) and (STAINS) the acoustic signal at the
end of the cycle is switched off.
SPIN SPEED
Press this button to reduce the maximum speed of the final

to select option
(RINSE HOLD).
The maximum spin speed for cotton is 1200 rpm, for syn-
thetics and wool 900 rpm and for delicates 700 rpm.
RINSE HOLD
By selecting this option, the last rinse water is not emptied out, to
prevent the fabrics from creasing. When the programme has finished,
the pilot light

“
O” and then to the DRAIN programme.
If the water is not emptied out, the machine automatically empties
itself after 18 hours.
The RINSE HOLD option cannot be selected for the automatic WASHING &
DRYING programme.
