1 Programme guide
2 Half load button
Select this button to reduce water consumption on the
rinse cycle when washing a half load of cottons or linens
(maximum load size = 2.25 kg).
The machine will perform 3 rinses instead of 4.
3 Rinse Hold button
Press this button to make the machine stop with water in
the drum after the synthetic or delicate wash cycles.
This prevents any creasing which may occur if the
clothes are left damp in the drum. When it is convenient
for you to empty the machine, simply press this button
again so that the machine can proceed to drain and spin,
or turn the dial to the drain programme “P”.
If this button is not activated, the washing programmes
will end with a short spin.
Do not press this button for woollens: wool items should
be gently spun.
4 Spin Speed Reduction button
By depressing this button the spin speed will be reduced
as follows:
- cotton and linen: from 1050 to 500 rpm for model
FLS 1185 QW/QAL and from 850 to 450 rpm for
model FLS 985 QW/QAL
- synthetics, delicates and wool: from 600 to 400 rpm.
5 Economy button
By depressing this button prior to selecting wash
programmes B, C and H you will obtain a reduction of
the wash temperature from 95°C to 60°C and from
50°/60°C to 40°C . The duration of the programme will
not alter. This will ensure a substantial saving in
electricity consumption. It is advisable to use Economy
when washing fabrics which are lightly soiled.
