Not
available
” will appear on the display, accompanied by a buzzer, the

Fr
This option is designed to keep your garments fresh up to 6 hours after the
cycle is over.
The Innovative Fr system takes care of your garments inside
the washing machine with a delicate steaming and tumbling action
. Fr system gently massages the laundry with regular slow
movements alternated with steam actions - letting air circulate inside
the fibers to keep garments fresh and prevent bad odours. Fr
treatment leaves truly fresher clothes and peace of mind - even hours after
the end of the cycle. Fr treatment inhibits the proliferation of the
main bad odour sources (inside the washing machine) up to 6 hours after
the washing ends.
Rapid
Select this option to reduce the cycle time. This cycle is suggested for
washing light soiled clothes.
Steam Hygiene
This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during
the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the fibres, which are treated
at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible
programme and select option Steam Hygiene.
! The steam generated during the operation of the washing machine may
cause the porthole door to become hazy.
Start Delay
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding
button repeatedly until the desired delay period is reached. When this
option has been activated, the selected values of delay start will appear

Easy Iron
By selecting this function, the wash and the spin cycles will be modified in

Multi Rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal
detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.
Press the button once, two or three times to select an additional 1, 2 or 3
rinses after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent.
Press the button again to go back to the “Normal rinse” rinse type.
Cold Wash
This option 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.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and
the drum. Check all buttons.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus
detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus
detergent
