3.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water and detergent consumption, therefore reduce the doses recommended by detergent manufacturers. Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash compartment and into the prewash compartment if you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener into the compartment if you wish. If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the «detergents and additives» section in the washing guide.
3.5.1. «Delayed start» pushbutton
This option delays start of the program. Select the number of hours after which you want the program to begin by pressing on the pushbutton one or several times.
3.5.2. «Rinse plus» pushbutton
This option adds two rinses on Cotton, Synthetics and Delicates programs. It is advised for allergic people to detergent products and in areas with fresh water.
3.3. Choice of the required program
The programs table will tell you which is the appropriate program for your washing type (see § 4). Put the program selector onto the required program.
3.5.3. «Quick wash» pushbutton
If you select this function, the wash time is reduced depending on which program you chose.
3.5.4. «Rinse hold» pushbutton
If you use this pushbutton, the tub remains full of water at the end of the last rinse to prevent the washing from becoming creased if it is not taken out of the drum as soon as the washing machine is stopped.
3.6. Starting the program
After you chose the washing program, press the Start/Pause pushbutton to start the cycle. The corresponding light stays on. It is normal that the program selector does not turn during the cycle.
