various functions connected to
the buttons. Pull it outwards to

Rinse-Hold
This button allows you to
interrupt a programme (on
symbol ) keeping the washing
soaking in water before the spin
cycle. It is a very useful button
in particular because it can be
used for delicates and synthetics.

silk and curtains when it is

washing out immediately. Before
opening the washing machine
door, finish the wash cycle as
follows:
Silk and curtains: press button
F and Margherita will drain the
water.
Synthetic fabrics: press button F
if you want a spin cycle, or turn
knob A to symbol if you
want the water to be drained.
With "Daily wash" or "Hand
wash", this function is not
enabled.

the wash programme by about
30%. It cannot be used with
special programmes (see page 4)
or those for wool and silk.

off) to indicate that a delayed
start has been set.
During this phase, you can open
the appliance door and change
the washing load, should you
wish to do so.
After the wash cycle has been set
and accepted by the washing
machine, turning the knob will
have no effect (except for when
it is on position Stop/Reset).
