Programme selector dial, spin speed button and available options
Programme Selector Dial
It allows you to switch the appliance on/off and/
or to select a programme.
Spin Reduction
By pressing this button you can change the spin
speed of the selected programme.
Available options:
Rinse hold
By selecting this function the water of the last
rinse is not emptied out to prevent the fabrics
from creasing. Before opening the door it will be
necessary to empty out the water. To empty out
the water, please read the paragraph «At the
end of the programme».
 Economy
Only for cottons and synthetic items lightly or
normally soiled at a temperature of 40°C or
higher. The washing time will be prolonged and
the washing temperature will be reduced. You
can use this option if you want to wash normally
soiled laundry and at the same time save ener-
gy.
Super Quick
Short cycle for lightly soiled items or for laundry
which needs only freshening up. We recom-
mend you to reduce the fabrics loading.
Prewash
By selecting this option the machine performs a
prewash cycle before the main wash phase. The
washing time will be prolonged. This option is
recommended for heavily soiled laundry.
Easy Iron
By selecting this option the laundry is gently
washed and spun to avoid any creasing. In this
way ironing is easier. Furthermore the machine
will perform some additional rinses in some pro-
grammes. On cotton programmes the maximum
spin speed is reduced automatically.
Extra Rinse
This appliance is designed to save energy. If it
necessary to rinse the laundry using an extra
quantity of water (extra rinse), select this option.
Some additional rinses will be performed. This
option is recommended for people who are al-
lergic to detergents, and in areas where the wa-
ter is very soft.
Start Pause
This button allows you to start or to interrupt the
selected programme.
Delay Start
The programme can be delayed from 30 min -
60 min - 90 min, 2 hours and then by 1 hour up
to a maximum of 20 hours by means of this but-
ton.
Door locked pilot light
The pilot light 9 illuminates when the pro-
gramme starts and indicates if the door can be
opened:
• light on: the door cannot be opened. The ma-
chine is working or has stopped with water
left in the tub.
• light off: the door can be opened. The pro-
gramme is finished or the water has been
emptied out.
• light blinking: the door is opening in a few mi-
nutes.
