Wash cycles and options
Wash options
Super Wash
This option offers a high-
performance wash due to
the greater quantity of water
used in the initial phase of
the cycle, and due to the
increased wash cycle duration,
is particularly useful for the
removal of stubborn stains. It
can be used with or without
bleach. If you desire bleaching,
use the compartment 3.
When dosing the bleach,
be careful not to exceed the “max” level (see figure).
To bleach laundry without carrying out a full wash cycle,
pour the bleach into the compartment 3, select the “Rinse”
cycle and activate the “Super Wash” option .
! It cannot be used in conjunction with , , , , ,

Easy Iron
By selecting this option, 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 drum will rotate
slowly; the “Easy Iron” and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash.
To end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy
Iron” button. For the Silk wash cycle, the machine will end the
cycle while the laundry is soaking and the “Easy Iron” indicator light
will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed,
press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button.

Time Saver
If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be
reduced by 30%-50%, depending on the selected cycle,
thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving.
Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

Extra rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased
and optimal residual detergent removal is guaranteed. It is
particularly useful for skin which is sensitive to detergents. We
recommend this option is used with a full load of washing, or
when a large amount of detergent is required.

(*) Note: 10 minutes after the START, the machine will recalculate the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle on the basis of the load inside it; this value will then be shown on the display.
The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as
water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
