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
with emptying of the water without spinning for Delicates.
This option is not available with the wool programme and cannot be
used with SOAK

and the
machine will perform an extra rinse (see page 27)
SPIN SPEED
Press this button to reduce the maximum speed of the final speed
proposed by the machine for the selected programme or to select
option (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
prevent the fabrics from creasing. When the programme has finished,
the pilot light
(END) on the programme progress display illuminates
to indicate that the water must be emptied out.
To empty out water:
• press the START/PAUSE button: after emptying, the machine performs
the spin cycle required for the type of wash selected;
• select the DRAIN programme “C” to empty out the water without
spinning.
Warning! The programme selector dial must be turned first to RESET O
and then to the DRAIN programme “C”.
If the water is not emptied out, the machine automatically empties
itself after 18 hours.
The RINSE HOLD option cannot be selected for the automatic WASHING
&
DRYING programme.
