Select the Vapour option

Select the Prewash option

NOT

Select this option to add approximately 
15-40 minutes of tumbling in vapour 
during the wash cycle. Vapour helps 
open fabric fibers up to allow laundry 
additives to release tough stains.
This function can be used for Cottons   
Synthetics       , Easy Iron         and 
Cottons Eco       with temperature over 
40ºC

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

NOTE: 

Vapour may not be present during the 
entire vapour 

wash cycle

.

Vapour function is more effective with 
half load.
At the end of the Vapour cycle the 
clothes will be warmer, softer and 
detached from the drum.

If Vapour option is selected, rinse 
temperatures will be elevated.
If washer is paused during a vapour 
wash cycle, the door will remain locked 
due to higher temperature in drum. 
DO NOT force the door open it will 
unlock when the washing machine has 
cooled.
