Wash cycles and functions

Table of wash cycles

** The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors 
such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulations 1061/2010: set wash cycle

 

 

60°C

 

(3rd press of the button).

This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments 

which can be washed at 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value. 

2) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulations 1061/2010: set wash cycle

 

 

40°C 

(3rd press of the button).

This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments 

which can be washed at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

Wash functions

!

  If the selected function is not compatible with the program-

med wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the function 

will not be activated

.

If the selected function is not compatible with another fun-

ction 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 cor-

responding 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.

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. 

For the   wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle while the 

laundry is soaking and the “Reduced Creases” and START/

PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that 

the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button 

or the “Reduced Creases” button.

Extra Rinse

By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is in-

creased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is 

particularly useful for sensitive skin.

Time Saver

Reduces the duration of the wash cycle.

Eco Wash

The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the water 

used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the environ-

ment 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.
