Wash cycles and options
Wash options
The option optimises washing to suit the quantity
of laundry loaded into the machine, thereby reducing the
overall wash cycle duration while minimising water and
energy consumption. Press the button to select
the type of wash cycle desired:
Intensive: vigorous wash cycle for garments with a heavy
soil level.
4 You: standard wash cycle for garments with a normal soil level.
Fast: quick wash cycle for garments with a light soil level.
 This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2,
3, 4, 5 (all three levels) and 6, 7, 8 (4 You and Fast levels).
Extra Rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is
increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It
is particularly useful for sensitive skin.
 It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, , .
Easy iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be
modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the
end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow
rotations of the drum, while the EASY IRON and START/
PAUSE indicator lights will flash (blue and orange respectively).
To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the
EASY IRON button. For wash cycles number 10-12, the
machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking; the
EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To
drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press
the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.
 It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 9,
13, , .
Stain removal
This function is particularly
useful for the removal of
stubborn stains. Insert extra
compartment 4 (supplied
with the appliance) into
compartment 1. When
pouring in the bleach, be
careful not to exceed the
“max” level marked on the
central pivot (see figure). To
bleach laundry with no other
washing action, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4,
select the “Rinse” cycle and activate the “Stain
removal” option . To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in
the detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use,
select the desired wash cycle and enable the “Stain
removal” option. The use of extra compartment 4
excludes the pre-wash function.
 It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , .
For all Test Institutes:
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 60456: select wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C.
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: select wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 40.
3) Short wash cycle for cottons: select wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40.
