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 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 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 13, , , .
