4 TEMPERATURE button
Press this button if you wish to set a different temperature from that suggested by the machine for the type of wash selected (see programme chart): the corresponding pilot light comes on. The COLD position is for a wash with cold water.
6 OPTIONS button
This button can be used to select the following options: - PREWASH: the machine performs a prewash cycle at 40°C max. The prewash cycle ends with a short spin for the White cotton, Coloured cotton and Synthetic programmes, and with emptying of the water only for the Delicate programme. - QUICK WASH: by selecting this option the washing time is reduced. For use when washing lightly soiled laundry. This option is not available with the wool programme. - ECONOMY: this option is only available with the White cotton 95°C, Coloured cotton 60°C and Synthetic 60°C programmes: the 95°C wash is carried out at about 67°C, whilst the 60°C wash is carried out at about 45°C for cotton and 40°C for synthetics: the 60°C or 40°C pilot lights flash. The washing time is slightly longer to compensate for the reduction in temperature. For use when washing normally soiled laundry, in order to save energy. Important: the PREWASH, QUICK WASH and ECONOMY options cannot be selected together: one automatically disables the others.
5 SPIN SPEED button
Press this button to select the required spin speed, remembering that: - for cottons the maximum spin speed is 1200 rpm; - for synthetics and wool the maximum spin speed is 900 rpm; - for delicate fabrics the maximum spin speed is 700 rpm. When the RINSE HOLD option is selected, the last rinse water is not emptied out, so as to avoid creasing of the fabrics: the pilot light flashes at the end of the programme to indicate that the water must be emptied out. This can be done in three ways: - select a spin speed and press the START/PAUSE button - just press the START/PAUSE button; after emptying, the machine performs the spin cycle for the type of wash selected - select the DRAIN programme to empty out the water without spinning. The RINSE HOLD option can also be selected for the wool programme: the last rinse water is emptied out but the machine does not spin. If the water is not emptied out, the machine automatically empties itself after 18 hours.
