By selecting one or more pushbutton
functions, basic programs can be tai-
lored to the type of laundry being
washed.
“Pre-wash”
– Use for heavily soiled or stained
laundry items.
– Available in the “COTTONS”, “PER-
MANENT PRESS” and “FINE /
DELICATES” programs.
– Uses cold water only. This is impor-
tant for the removal of protein stains.
– No rinsing, spinning or water heating
are performed in this cycle.
– Add the required amount of deter-
gent to compartment
i
.
“Water plus”
Slightly increases the water level, best
used;
– For particularly delicate fabrics in ad-
dition to the “Gentle wash” option.
– In hard water areas, if additional
water is required for dispensing the
detergent.
– In soft water areas to enhance wash-
ing and rinsing results.
– For people who are skin sensitive to
detergents.
The “Water plus” option is available in
the following programs:
– The wash and rinse cycles for COT-
TONS.
– The wash cycle for PERMANENT
PRESS.
“Gentle wash”
For gentle washing of lighty soiled
items, or delicate fabrics which tend to
pill.
Drum movement is reduced by half.
Available in the “COTTONS”, “PERMA-
NENT PRESS” and “FINE / DELICATES”
programs.
“Short”
For lightly soiled items. The length of
the main wash is shortened. An addi-
tional reduction in temperature is not
recommended as this may lead to poor
wash results.
Selecting the spin speed
Setting the selector switch to the
highest setting saves energy if the laun-
dry is to be dried in a tumble dryer. The
spin speed in the “PERMANENT PRES-
S” and “WOOLENS” program is auto-
matically limited to 900 rpm, and in the
“FINE / DELICATES” program to
600 rpm.
“Without final spin”
If this option is selected, the laundry will
remain suspended in water at the end
of the program. This will help reduce
creasing when immediate unloading of
the drum is not possible.
To drain the water and complete the cy-
cle, turn the spin speed selector from
“Without final spin” to the desired spin
speed. If spinning is not desired, turn
the program selector to “Drain”.
