5. Prewash
The Pre-wash function extends the wash cycle by approximately 20 minutes. The laun-
dry is prewashed at 30°C before the main wash cycle begins. Activation of the Pre-wash
function will allow you to achieve excellent washing results without the need to soak the
laundry. Pre-wash is recommended when washing heavily soiled laundry.
Caution: Pour suitable detergent to detergent drawer marked with symbol befo-
re the Pre-wash function is activated.
DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL PANEL
This mode is useful in the case of washing lightly soiled clothes. It helps save energy

useful when washing heavily soiled clothes. Washing time is increased in order to improve
washing effects.
