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:
Intense: vigorous wash cycle for garments with a heavy soil
level.
Perform: 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 (Perform 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, , .
Cool Wash
The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the
water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both
to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead,
intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure
great wash results in the same average time of a
standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage
of a liquid detergent.
 It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 13, , , .
For all Test Institutes:
