Wash options
Time Saver
Reduces the duration of the wash cycle, while making it
possible to save water and electricity.
It is not compatible with the "Mini Load" option and
may not be enabled for the Fast Wash, Silk, Wool and
Rinse & Spin programmes.
Reduced Creases
If this option is selected, the wash and spin phases will be
adjusted accordingly so that fabric creasing is reduced. At
the end of the cycle the drum of the washing machine will
spin slowly; the “Reduced Creases” and START/PAUSE
indicator lights will flash. To end the cycle, press the
START/PAUSE button or the “Reduced Creases” button.
When using the Silk programme, the machine will end the
cycle while the laundry is soaking and the “Reduced
Creases” indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that
the laundry can be removed, press the START/PAUSE
button or the “Reduced Creases” button.
This option is not compatible with the “Wool”, “Fast Spin”,
“Slow Spin” and “Pumpout” programmes.
Extra Rinse
This programme increases the efficiency of the rinse
phase and ensures that a greater amount of detergent is
removed. It is particularly recommended for skin types
that are sensitive to detergents. We recommend this
programme is used when the washing machine is full or
when a large amount of detergent has been used.
This option is not compatible with the “Fast Wash”,
“Fast Spin”, “Slow Spin” and “Pumpout” programmes.
Mini Load
This function should be used when the amount of laundry
is half, or less than half, of the maximum recommended
load (see Table of Programmes).
This option is not compatible with "Time Saver" option
and may not be enabled for the “Fast Spin”, “Slow Spin”
and “Pumpout” programmes.
