OPTIONS
- If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash
cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash and the function will
not be activated.

first function selected will flash and only the second function will be

Extra Wash
Enable the
Extra Wash
option for very dirty items, where compatible.
Press this option to let the cycle automatically re-adjust all wash
parameters through a longer lasting cycle. The option always leaves the
temperature unchanged, while the spin cycle is automatically brought
back to maximum levels. The user can set the spin cycle back to the
desired value at any time.
The
option 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.
Temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Wash
Cycle Table).
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash .
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a
temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash
cycle.
