7 SPECIAL PROGRAMMES button
Pressing this button selects the following
options:
- EXTRA RINSE: can be selected 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.
This option can only be selected after having
pressed the FABRICS button to select the
required wash programme.
- SOAK: select this option for heavily soiled
laundry. This function cannot be used with
the wool programme. The machine performs
a soak at 40°C and stops with the water in
the drum. The water can be emptied out in 2
ways:
- empty only by pressing the START/PAUSE
button;
- empty and spin using the SPIN SPEED and
START/PAUSE buttons.
If the water is not emptied out within 18
hours, the machine empties automatically.
The drum turns from time to time during
soaking.
At the end of the soak, and after having
emptied out the water (the three zeros on the
display flash), select the required wash
programme or call one up using the
"memory" buttons, then start the machine by
pressing the START/PAUSE button.
- RINSES: with this option, it is possible to
rinse and spin garments which have been
washed by hand, such as synthetics or
delicates and types of wool which are not
machine washable.
The machine performs 3 delicate rinses with
a high water level, followed by a final spin at
700 rpm. It is of course also possible to select
a slower spin speed or a higher spin speed
using the appropriate button.
Important: if you wash cotton fabrics by
hand and select a spin speed of 1200 rpm,
the machine will perform 3 rinses with a low
water level, a number of intermediate spins
and a final spin at 1200 rpm; particularly
recommended for cottons.
- SPIN: when this option is selected, the
machine performs a spin at 700 rpm.
Different spin speeds can be selected by
pressing the appropriate button, but always
take into account the type of fabric washed.
- DRAIN: this programme can be selected to
empty out the water [e.g. for programmes
with which the RINSE HOLD option has been
selected].
8 FRESHEN UP button
This is a complete programme in its own right,
that is not compatible with any of the other
options, except DELAY START. For use with
laundry which is lightly soiled or which needs
freshening up (max. 2 kg). The machine
performs a 30 minute wash cycle at 30°C, with a
final spin at 700 rpm.
9 TIME TO FINISH display
This display provides the following information:
- Three flashing dashes
appear immediately after pressing the
ON/OFF button and 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. The figures on the display flash until
the machine is started with the START button.
After the programme has started, the time
remaining is updated every 10 minutes, and
every 5 minutes during the last 20 minutes.
About 20 minutes after the programme has
started, the time remaining is updated on the
basis of the actual load size being washed
(cottons only).
When the programme has finished, after the
door lock has released, three flashing zeros
are displayed.
- Delayed start, programmed using the special
button (11).
The selected delay (19 hours max.) is
indicated in the display. The countdown is
updated every hour, and every 5 minutes
during the last hour.
- PAUSE: when the START/PAUSE is pressed
while a wash programme is running, the
figures in the display, which indicate the
time remaining, start to flash.
- Machine heating phase. A dot to the right of
the figures in the display indicates that the
machine is heating the water.
