Prewash (     ) Touchpad

Select this option if you wish your laundry 
to be pre-washed before the main wash. 
Use this option for heavy soil. The 
indicator of this option will be on.

When you set this function, put the 
detergent into the “       ” compartment. 

This function increases the program 
duration.

Select this option to add approximately 
30 minutes of tumbling in vapour after 
the rinse cycle. The indicator of this 
option will be on.

Hygienic Care (     ) Touchpad

Vapour may not necessarily be visible 
inside the drum during a vapour cycle. 
Vapour is created below the drum and 
allowed to naturally rise into the 
clothes.

Vapour may not be present during the 
entire vapour cycle.

Vapour function is more effective with 
half load.

Extra Rinse Touchpad

This option is recommended for people 
who are allergic to detergents, and in 
areas where the water is very soft. 

Press this touchpad to add two rinse 
phases to a program. The indicator of 
this option will be on.

After selecting Delay End time, press 
Start/Pause touchpad to start the 
program. Machine will then countdown 
and update time on the display every 
hours until it reaches the starting point of 
the wash cycle.

Delay End (      ) Touchpad

Before you start the program, this option 
makes it possible to define the end of the 
washing program from minimum of 1 hour 
to maximum of 20 hours.

If program duration is longer than 
3 hours, minimum Delay End 
option starts from 4 hours.

Press the Delay End touchpad to choose 
the end time as you wish. The display 
shows the number of hours and the 
indicator beside the touchpad is on. 

For example, if the program duration of 
your selected program is 3.20 hours and 
you define the “Delay End” time to 6 
hours. This means your wash program 
will finish in 6 hours. (See diagram)

3.20 hrs.

-

Any temperature may be selected, 
but “Cold” water is recommended 
with this cycle as hotter water may

recommended for a normal wash 
cycle. If desired, use a bleach or 
a soaking agent safe for the 
fabric, by pouring it into the 
detergent compartment.
