(not available for wool and hand-wash cycle).
The prewash ends with a short spin at 650 rpm in
programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics,
whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the
water is only drained.

time can be prolonged up to 24 hours max. After this
time the wash cycle will automatically start.
This function is not available for wool and hand-

programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics,
whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the

soiled (not for wool and HAND WASH
programme).
The washing time will be reduced according to the
type of fabric and the selected temperature.
The PREWASH, SOAK and QUICK options
cannot be selected together.
• SUPER RINSE : this option can be selected
with all programmes except the wool and hand
wash programme. The machine performs 4 rinses
