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 (all three levels) and 5, 6 (Perform and Fast levels).
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 washer-dryer 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 8, 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 7, 10,
11, 12, 13, , .
Note: If you also want to run the drying cycle, this option
is enabled only if combined with level “A1” (Iron dry).
Cool Wash
The Cool 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
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , , .
Delayed start
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the
corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay
period has been reached. When this option is enabled,
the corresponding indicator light will remain lit. To
remove the delayed start setting, press the button until
the text "OFF" appears on the display.
 This option can be used in conjunction with all cycles.
For all Test Institutes:
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: select wash cycle 1 with a temperature of 60°C.
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: select wash cycle 1 with a temperature of 40.
