EXTRA RINSE
Can be used with all programmes except the wool programme. The
machine performs 4 rinses instead of 3.
This option is recommended for people who are allergic to detergents
and in areas where the water is very soft.
RINSE HOLD
When this button is pressed, the last rinse water is not emptied out, to
prevent the fabrics from creasing. When the programme has finished,
the corresponding pilot light on the programme progress display flashes
to indicate that the water must be emptied out.
To empty out water:
• press the START/PAUSE button: after emptying, the machine performs
the spin cycle required for the type of wash selected;
• select the PUMP OUT programme to empty out the water without
spinning.
Warning! The programme selector dial must be turned first to RESET
and then to programme “PUMP OUT”.
This option can also be selected for the wool programme: the last
rinse water is emptied out but the machine does not spin.
If the water is not emptied out, the machine automatically empties
itself after 18 hours.
SPIN SPEED
Press this button to reduce the maximum speed of the final speed proposed
by the machine for the selected programme.
The maximum spin speed for cotton is 1000 rpm, for easy-cares and
wool 900 rpm and for delicates 700 rpm.
Display
The display shows the following information:
• if the programme selector dial is on the RESET position, three flashing
dashes appear immediately after pressing the ON/OFF button to indicate
that the machine is ready to receive instructions for the required wash
programme;
• duration of the selected wash programme, calculated automatically on
the basis of the maximum recommended load for each type of fabric.
• When the programme has finished, three flashing zeros are displayed;
15
is then displayed. One minute after depressing the START/PAUSE but-
ton, the machine starts its hourly countdown.
During the last hour, the remaining time is displayed every 5 minutes.
The delayed start function cannot be used with the SPIN or PUMP OUT
programmes.
To alter or cancel the preset delay, press the START/PAUSE button, then
press the DELAY START button until the required time is displayed or, if
you wish to cancel the delay, until the symbol
0 h is displayed.
Then press the START/PAUSE button again.
When the delay is cancelled, the display shows the duration of the wash
programme previously selected.
Programme Option buttons
Depending on the programme, different functions can be combined.
These must be selected after choosing the desired programme and
before depressing the START/PAUSE button.
When these buttons are pressed, the corresponding pilot lights come on.
When they are pressed again, the pilot lights go out.
If an incorrect option is selected, the pilot lights flash for about 3 seconds
and the message Err is displayed.
STAIN
To treat heavily soiled washing or stained washing with stain remover
(extended main wash with time optimised stain action phase, not selec-
table for wool or programmes with temperatures lower than 40°C).
QUICK
By pressing this button the washing time is reduced. For use when
washing lightly soiled laundry.
This option is not available with the wool programme.
PREWASH
The machine performs a prewash cycle at 40°C max. The prewash cycle
ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Easy-cares, and
with emptying of the water only for Delicates.
This option is not available with the wool programme.
For use when washing heavily soiled laundry.
Important: the STAIN, PREWASH and QUICK WASH options cannot be
selected together: one automatically disables the others.
