6.10 Silent 

Touch this button to activate-deactivate

the option Silent .
The intermediate and the final spinning

phases are suppressed and the

programme ends with water in the drum.

This helps to reduce creasing.

The display shows the indicator  . The

door stays locked. The drum turns

regularly to reduce creasing. You must

drain the water to unlock the door.
As the programme is very quiet, it is

suitable for use at night time when

cheaper electricity tariffs are available. In

some programmes the rinses are

performed with more water.

If you touch the Start/Pause 

 button,

the appliance performs the only draining

phase.

The appliance empties the

water out automatically after

18 hours approximately.

6.11 Delay Start 

With this option you can delay the start of

a programme to a more convenient time.
Touch the button repeatedly to set the

required delay. The time increases in

steps of 1 hour up to 20 hours.

The display shows the indicator   and

the selected delay time. After touching
the Start/Pause 

 button, the appliance

begins the countdown and the door is

locked.

6.12 Time Manager 

With this option you can reduce the

programme duration depending on the

load size and the degree of soiling.
When you set a washing programme, the

display shows the default duration and

 dashes.

Touch Time Manager button to reduce

the programme duration according to

your needs. The display shows the new

programme duration and a number of

dashes will decrease accordingly:

 suitable for a full load of normally

soiled garments.

 a quick cycle for a full load of lightly

soiled garments.

 very quick cycle for a smaller lightly

soiled load (max. half load

recommended).

 the shortest cycle to freshen up a

small amount of laundry.
The Time Manager is available only with
