TIME SAVER button
Press the button to select or deselect this function.
Pressing this button reduces the time of the wash programme by a maximum of 50 minutes
depending on the programme and the temperature selected. The "Timer saver" button can
be used for washing loads of 1 to 8 kg. This option may only be utilised on COTTONS and
SYNTHETICS programmes.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing
the "Start/Pause" button.

STAIN BLASTER Button
By pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the
new 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.

DELAY START button
Appliance start time can be set with this button, delaying the start by 3, 6 or 9 hours.
Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:
Select a programme (“STOP” indicator light blinks)
Press "Delay Start" button (each time the button is pressed the start will be delayed by 3, 6
or 9 hours respectively and the corresponding light will blink).
Press "Start/Pause" to commence the Delay Start operation (the indicator light associated
with the selected Delay Start time stops blinking and remains ON).
At the end of the required time delay the programme will start.
To cancel the Delay Start function:
press the "Delay Start" button until the indicator lights will be off (The "STOP" light blinks)
and the programme can be started manually using the "Start/Pause" button or switch off the
appliance by turning the programme selector to "OFF" position.

Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while
the machine is operating, a special memory stores the
selected programme and, when the power is restored, it
continues where it left off.
SPIN SPEED button
The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without
damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.
By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle
can be cancelled.
To reactivate the spin cycle press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set.
To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that which is
automatically suitable during the selection of the program.
It is possible to modify the spin speed without to pausing the machine.
Note:
The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which
prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced.
This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so
prolongs the life of your machine.
H
SENSITIVE CARE button
By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed
Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System. This option treats with care the fibres of
garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.
The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined
action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which
have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that
the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also
increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This
function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even
a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.
You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,
or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of
detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens programs.
