Final spin speed in the
programme

When a programme is selected, the
optimum spin speed for that
programme will appear in the display.
For programmes marked with a

in the

chart, the optimum spin speed is not
the maximum spin speed.

You can reduce the final spin speed or,
depending on the programme, increase
it.

However, you cannot select a final spin
speed higher than that shown in the
chart.

Rinse and interim spin

There is a spin after the main wash and
between the rinses. A reduction in the
final spin speed will also reduce the
interim spin speed. If a spin speed of
less than 700 rpm is selected for the

Cottons

programme, an additional rinse

is introduced.
