Wash cycles and options

Wash options

The 

 option optimises washing to suit the quantity of 

laundry loaded into the machine, thereby reducing the overall 

wash cycle duration while minimising water and energy 

consumption. Press the 

 button to select the type of 

wash cycle desired:

Intense:

 vigorous wash cycle for garments with a heavy soil level.

Perform:

 standard wash cycle for garments with a normal 

soil level.

Fast:

 quick wash cycle for garments with a light soil level.

!

 This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 

3, 4 (all three levels) and 5, 6 (

Perform

 and 

Fast

 levels).

 Easy iron

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 washer-dryer will perform slow rotations of the drum, while the 

EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (blue and 

orange respectively). To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE 

button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycles number 8, 

the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking; the 

EASY IRON 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 EASY IRON button.

!

 It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7, 10, 

11, 12, 13,  ,

 

Note:

 If you also want to run the drying cycle, this option is 

enabled only if combined with level “

A1

” (Iron dry). 

 

 

Cool Wash

The Cool 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.

!

 It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 

6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,  ,  ,

 

 Delayed start

To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the 

corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay 

period has been reached. When this option is enabled, the 

corresponding indicator light will remain lit. To remove the 

delayed start setting, press the button until the text “OFF” 

appears on the display.

!

 This option can be used in conjunction with all cycles.

For all Test Institutes: 
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: select wash cycle 1 with a temperature of 60°C. 
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: select wash cycle 1 with a temperature of 40. 
3) Short wash cycle for cottons: select wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40.
