Intensive Button
By pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the
new Activa system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping
it at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum.
The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments. When the detergent
enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a
uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, the speed increases in
order to maximise the cleaning action. Thanks to this special system, the efficiency of the
wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE
PROGRAM.
Select Spin
On selecting the wash programme the display will inform you of the maximum spin speed
permitted for that programme. By repeatedly pressing the select spin button the speed will
decrease by increments of 100 rpm. The minimum speed permitted is 400 rpm, or by
continuously pressing the select spin option the spin may be cancelled if desired.

Note: this model is fitted with an electronic “sensor” device that
checks the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly
unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically to then
carry out the normal spin.
If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a reduced spin
speed will be used. If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin
stage will be cancelled.
This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve
the washing machine’s reliability and life.
