[. . . ] Detergent drawer Door open button Off/On button Reduced water level No spin button Rinse hold button Eco button Wash control temperature knob Timer knob for wash programmes On/Off indicator light REDUCED WATER LEVEL The water level for a small wash may be reduced right through the wash from soaking to rinsing by pressing the 1/2 pushbutton, this way you will save electricity, detergent, and water too. WARNING: NEVER press the 1/2 pushbutton when you are washing PURE NEW WOOL, since wool absorbs water and therefore needs all the water the machine will hold. DO NOT use it for delicate fabrics either, since they need the extra water to float them and protect them. This operation is suitable for programmes at 90°C and at 60°C in case of special treated fabrics (cottonova or permanent press) or for mixed delicate fabrics. When this button is selected, the machine stops with the final rinse water in the drum for mixed fabrics and wool. In this way, the fabrics are left immersed in the water, preventing them from creasing, should you be unavailable to remove them after spinning. When the button is released, the programme finishes by emptying the water and giving a delicate spin. Without the spin), release the On/Off button, select "Z" and release the Rinse Hold Button. This option reduces the mechanical action by about 50% caring for clothes and facilitates the cleaning action of the enzymes contained in detergents. The detergent drawer is divided into 4 compartments: - The first I for the prewash detergent - The second II for the main wash detergent For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has 2 different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and lenght of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes). 1 Resistants Fabrics The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing. 2 Mixed and Delicates Fabrics The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased. IMPORTANT: When washing heavy rugs, bed spreads and other heavy articles, it is advisable not to spin. To be machine-washed, woollen garments and other articles in wool must bear the "Machine Washable Label". - cushion covers are buttoned, zips and hooks are closed, loose belts and long tapes on dressing gowns are knotted. - when sorting, any tough stains should be removed prior to washing using stain removers only recommended on label. In case of very dirty underwear, a 3 kg maximum load is advised. In the programs as shown in the table, automatic bleaching is possible by pouring the liquid bleach into the detergent draw .

[. . . ] This does not compromise the efficiency of the rinses. - The presence of white powder (zeolites) on the washing at the end of the washing cycle. This does not remain incorporated in the fabric and does not alter the colour. - The presence of foam in the last rinse water which is not necessarily a sign of inadequate rinsing. [. . . ]
