Functions

The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.

To activate the functions:

1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in

conjunction with the selected wash cycle.

The option optimises washing to suit the quantity of laundry loaded into the machine, thereby reducing the

overall wash cycle duration while minimising water and energy consumption. Press the button to select

the type of wash cycle desired:

Intense: vigorous wash cycle for garments with a heavy soil level.

4 You: standard wash cycle for garments with a normal soil level.

Fast: quick wash cycle for garments with a light soil level.

 This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (all three levels) and 7, 8, 9 (4 You and

Fast levels).

Extra Rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is

particularly useful for sensitive skin.

 It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 9, , .

Easy iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At

START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (blue and orange respectively). To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE

button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycles number 11-13, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry

appliance.

 Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that

old household electrical appliances must not be

disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste

stream. Old appliances must be collected

separately in order to optimise the recovery and

recycling of the materials they contain and reduce

the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when

you dispose of the appliance it must be separately

collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.
