Wash options
Super Wash
This option guarantees a high-performance wash,
thanks to the use of a greater quantity of water
during the initial phase of the cycle and a longer
overall duration of the programme.
It is not compatible with the “Fast Wash”, “Silk”,
“Wool”, “Duvets” and Partial programmes.
Easy Iron
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 “Easy Iron” and
START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To end the
cycle, press the START/RESET button or the “Easy
Iron” button.
When using the “Silk” programme, 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 can be removed, press the
START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button.
This option is not compatible with the “Wool”,
“Durable Spin”, “Delicate Spin” and “Draining”
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”,
“Durable Spin”, “Delicate Spin” and “Draining”
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 the “Durable
Spin”, “Delicate Spin” and “Draining” programmes.
