6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant
buttons:
Modifying the temperature and/or spin speed.
The machine automatically selects the maximum
temperature and spin speed set for the selected wash
cycle; these values cannot therefore be increased.
The temperature can be decreased by pressing the
button, until the cold wash "OFF" setting is reached.
The spin speed may be progressively reduced by
pressing the

display. To remove the delayed start function press the
button until the text "OFF" appears on the display.
Set the desired wash intensity.
Option makes it possible to optimise washing based
on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash
cycle intensity.
Select the wash programme: the cycle will be
automatically set to "Normal" as optimised for garments
with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable to
the "Wool" cycle, which is automatically set to "Delicate").
For heavily-soiled garments press button
"Super Wash" level is reached. This level ensures a
high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of
water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to
increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the
most stubborn stains.
It can be used with or without bleach. If you wish to
bleach the items insert the additional compartment
(4) into compartment 1. When pouring the bleach, be
careful not to exceed the "max" level marked on the
central pivot (see figure pag. 10).

Rinse" level, which makes it possible to select an additional
rinse after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces
of detergent. Press the button again for the "Sensitive
Skin" level, which makes it possible to select two additional
rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended for
very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the third
time, the "Anti allergy Rinse" level is set, thus allowing
the selection of 3 rinses in addition to the standard cycle's
rinses. The option - started with cycles at a temperature of
40°C - makes it possible to remove major allergens such
as pollen, cat and dog hair. With cycles at a temperature
higher than 40° a very good level of antiallergic protection is
achieved. Press the button again to go back to the "Normal
Rinse" rinse type. If the current adjustment can be neither
set nor changed, the display will show "Not allowed".
