Setting options
Options can be added to a wash cycle that has already been selected.
Press the OPTION key . The display shows the symbols for the
options.
 Prewash
Pre-washes at about 30°C before the main wash cycle, which follows
automatically.
 Sensitive
Enhanced rinse action through an additional rinse cycle together with
decreased drum movement (improved fabric care). This is ideal when
frequent washes are necessary, for example, in cases of highly
sensitive skin.  An additional rinse cycle can also be permanently set
(see section “Setup”). 
Stain
For heavily soiled and stained washing. In-wash stain treatment
products are washed in at the optimum time as the programme
progresses.
 Night Cycle
The washing is left to soak in the final rinse water. There is no final
spin and no intermediate spin. Because of tis the programme runs
very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is therefore particularly suitable if you
want to wash at night. 
Setup
The special functions that can be set under Setup remain permanently
stored in the appliance, e. g., time, language, etc. (see section “Setup”)
until they are changed or deactivated. 
Only the options that can be combined with the cycle that has already
been set are shown in the display.
