• Prelavaggio (Prewash)
A pre-wash is only worthwhile for heavily soiled
laundry. Without pre-wash you save energy, water,
detergent and time. Pre-wash without detergent is
recommended for lace and curtains.
• Rapido (Quick Wash)
This function can be used for cottons and
synthetics programs. It decreases the washing
times for lightly soiled laundries and also the
number of rinsing steps. Shortens the program
time approximately 45 minutes.
• Risciacquo Aggiuntivo (Rinse Plus)
With this function, you can increase the number of
current rinsing steps. Thus, sensitive skins’ risk of
being affected by the remainder detergent on the
clothes will be decreased.
• Anti-Creasing
This function reduces drum movement and
limits the spinning speed to prevent creasing. In
addition, washing is carried out at a higher water
level.
