just 90 minutes.

Follow the directions indicated in the garment wash 

symbols.

FR

 

If associated with wash cycles, this option increases their 

performances by generating steam to block proliferation 

of the main sources of unpleasant odours inside the 

appliance (exclusively for the wash). After the steam phase, 

the machine runs a delicate cycle with slow drum 

rotations. When the FR option is associated with 

drying cycles, it prevents stubborn creases from stabilising 

on garments, thanks to slow drum rotations.

The Fr cycle starts at the end of the wash or 

drying cycle and continues for maximum 6 hours; it can be 

interrupted at any time by pressing any button on the 

control panel, or by turning the knob. Wait roughly 5 

minutes before opening the door.

OPTIONS selectable directly by pressing the relative 

button

If the selected option is not compatible with the 

programme set, an error warning tone sounds and the 

indicator lamp flashes three times. The option is not 

selected.
