The soak programme ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton
and Synthetics, and with emptying of the water without spinning for
Delicates.
PREWASH
The machine performs a prewash cycle at 30°C max. The prewash cycle
ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics, and

SPIN SPEED
Press this button to reduce the maximum speed of the final

(RINSE HOLD).
The maximum spin speed for cotton is 1200 rpm, for syn-
thetics and wool 900 rpm and for delicates 700 rpm.
RINSE HOLD
By selecting this option, the last rinse water is not emptied out, to
