Wash Options

The following options should be chosen once the required programme has been
selected and BEFORE pressing the Start Pause button. The indicator light on each
option button will illuminate if that option has been selected.
Night & Day
Press this button (available for all the washing programmes) to reduce the
intermediate spin speed to 400 rpm, where applicable; the water level is increased
during rinsing and the washing is kept immersed in water after the final rinse in order
to spread the fibres evenly.
During the phase in which the water is held in the tub, the indicator lights to show that
the machine is at a standstill.
Release the button to end the cycle with a spin dry (which may be reduced or
cancelled using the appropriate button) and emptying phase.
Thanks to electronic control, the water in the intermediate phases is emptied silently,
making this option very useful for washing at night.
Pre-Wash
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 "I" (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.
Stain Blaster
The Stain Blaster option, selectable on all Cotton cycles, tackles stubborn stains by
maintaining wash temperatures throughout the programme and adjusting the spin
speed of the drum during critical stages of the wash and rinse cycles. Using this
special programme will increase the wash efficiency without increasing the length of
your wash programme.

Rinse Hold

Pressing this button means the cycle stops at the final rinse stage, leaving the drum fil-
led with water.
The garments thus stay immersed in the water, preventing them from bunching up and
forming creases that are difficult to remove.
During the phase in which the water is held in the tub, the indicator blinks to show that
the machine is at a standstill. Release the button to end the cycle with a spin (which
may be reduced or cancelled using the appropriate button) and emptying phase.

Sensitive Care
The Sensitive Care option washes your clothes in a deeper than normal water level to
provide gentler washing for especially delicate fabrics, while detergent is removed
thoroughly with five extra rinses. Perfect for people with delicate skin, this option can
be selected on all Cotton and Synthetic cycles.
This option does not need to be selected on the Delicate, Woollen or Silk programmes,
as it is already an integrated part of the wash cycles.

Easy Iron

This function, selectable on Mixed and Delicate cycles, minimizes creases as much as
possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics.
The water is gradually cooled throughout the final two rinses with no spinning and
then a delicate spin assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.

Delay Start

This option allows you to delay the start of your wash cycle by up to 24 hours. By
pressing the Delay Start button, the time delay will be shown on the display (h00). This
will increase in one-hour intervals each time the Delay Start button is pressed.
Continue to press the button until the required time is reached, then press the Start
Pause button to activate the machine. The machine will start its cycle once the required
number of hours has passed.
To cancel the Delay Start option, press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the
display shows the settings for the selected programme. To start this programme, press
the Start Pause button. To cancel the process, press the ON/OFF button or select
another programme.
Temperature
When a programme is selected the display will show the recommended wash tempera-
ture. The Temperature button can be used to decrease or increase the temperature of
your chosen wash cycle. Each time the button is pressed, the new temperature level is
shown on the Wash Temperature Indicator.
