Wash cycles and functions

Wash functions

- If the selected function is not compatible with the 

programmed wash cycle, the indicator light will flash 

and the function will not be activated.

-  If  the  selected  function  is  not  compatible  with 

another function which has been selected previously, 

the indicator light corresponding to the first function 

selected will flash and only the second function will 

be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the 

enabled function will remain lit.

Super Wash

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial 

phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle 

duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.

Extra rinse

 

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increa-

sed and optimal residual detergent removal is guaranteed. 

It is particularly useful for skin which is sensitive to deter-

gents. We recommend this option is used with a full load of 

washing, or when a large amount of detergent is required.

Table of wash cycles

Reduced Creases

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; the “Reduced Creases” and 

START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the 

text “END OF CYCLE” will appear on the display.  

To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the 

“Reduced Creases” button. 

Time Saver

If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be 

reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle, 

thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy 

saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

Eco Wash

The Eco 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.
