Wash Options
The following options should be chosen once the required programme has been
selected and BEFORE pressing the Start Pause button. The indicator light on each
option button will illuminate if that option has been selected.
Night & Day
Press this button (available for all the washing programmes) to reduce the
intermediate spin speed to 400 rpm, where applicable; the water level is increased
during rinsing and the washing is kept immersed in water after the final rinse in order
to spread the fibres evenly.
During the phase in which the water is held in the tub, the indicator lights to show that
the machine is at a standstill.
Release the button to end the cycle with a spin dry (which may be reduced or
cancelled using the appropriate button) and emptying phase.
Thanks to electronic control, the water in the intermediate phases is emptied silently,
making this option very useful for washing at night.
Pre-Wash
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
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.
Rinse Hold
Pressing this button means the cycle stops at the final rinse stage, leaving the drum fil-
led 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.
