Pre-wash Button
This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used only on some
programmes as shown in the programmes table.
Detergent for this programme should be added to the compartment of the soap drawer
labelled "1" (Please refer to Detergent Drawer Section of manual). We recommend you use
only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack and fabric
conditioner should not be used for this programme.
"Aquaplus" button
By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed
Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats with care the fibres of
garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.
The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined
action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which
have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that
the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also
increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This
function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even
a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.
You are advised to also use this function for children's clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,
or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of
detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens programs.
This button is not available when the "Night option" button is selected.
Set Programme
The programme end time/delay start options can be used if you want the washing to be ready
at a later time (but within 24 hours).
1. Set delay start
Press delay start/set end time button once and press the hours and minutes buttons (to the left
and right) until the required time is set. The display returns to the programme option if the
button is pressed within 5 seconds.
Press the start button.
To cancel delay start, hold down the button for 5 seconds.
2. Programme end time
Press delay start/set end time button twice and press the hours and minutes buttons (to the
left and right) until the required time is set. When entering the programme end option, the
display will show the minimum time which you can set the programme to end by. This time
may only be extended as you require.
NOTE: When using the delay start/set end time functions, only use detergents and laundry
also via the dispenser drawer. Adding detergents etc. to the drum and then leaving them to
stand for long period of time may damage your laundry.
