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

To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

Cool Wash The Cool Wash function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Preparing the laundry • Divide the laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites. ╠Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons. • Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: Durable fabrics: max. Sport Shoes (wash cycle 10): is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously. Load balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washer-dryer performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load. 1 1 1 1 1 sheet 400-500 g pillow case 150-200 g tablecloth 400-500 g bathrobe 900-1, 200 g towel 150-250 g Special wash cycles Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and use liquid detergent.
