Functions

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction 
with the selected wash cycle.

Delay Start
To set a delayed start for the selected wash cycle, press the button repeatedly until the desired delay time is displayed 
(this may be between 1 hour and 24 hours).

 is displayed.

This function is recommended for when the load of laundry is equal to half, or less than half, of the maximum recom-
mended load (see Table of wash cycles).

!

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 11, 12, 13, B, C.

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 

 phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the 

START/PAUSE button or the REDUCED CREASES button.

CED CREASES and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the RINSE phase will remain lit in a fixed man-
ner. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the REDUCED CREASES 
button.

tion, this function offers a high-performance wash.

!

 

This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, A, B, C.
