I
“PRE-WASH” button
This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used only on some
programmes as shown in the programmes table.
Detergent for this programme should be added to the compartment of the soap drawer
labelled “I” (Please refer to Detergent Drawer Section of manual). We recommend you use
only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack and fabric
conditioner should not be used for this programme.

“Stain Blaster” button
The Stain Blaster option, selectable on all Cotton cycles, tackles stubborn stains by
maintaining wash temperatures throughout the programme and adjusting the spin speed of
the drum during critical stages of the wash and rinse cycles. Using this
special programme will increase the wash efficiency without increasing the length of your
wash programme.
L
“RINSE HOLD” button
Pressing this button means the cycle stops at the final rinse stage, leaving the drum filled with
water.
The garments thus stay immersed in the water, preventing them from bunching up and
forming creases that are difficult to remove.
During the phase in which the water is held in the tub, the indicator blinks to show that the
machine is at a standstill. Release the button to end the cycle with a spin (which may be
reduced or cancelled using the appropriate button) and emptying phase.
This button is not available when the Night&Day button is selected.
M
“SENSITIVE CARE” button
By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed
Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats with care the fibres of
garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.
The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined
action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which
have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that
the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also
increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This
function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even
a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.
You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,
or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of
detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens.
