 Easy Iron

By selecting this option, the wash and spin cycles will be 

modified in order to reduce the formation of creases.  

At the end of the cycle the washing machine drum will 

rotate slowly; the “Easy Iron” and START/PAUSE indicator 

lights will flash. To end the cycle press the START/PAUSE 

button or the “Easy Iron” button. For the Silk   wash 

cycle, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is 

soaking and the “Easy Iron” indicator light will flash.
