Drying indicator light (This light illuminates when the machine is drying)
Drying time selector dial
Graduated up to 120 mins for cotton and synthetics, this dial allows you to select the desired drying time according to the type and quantity of laundry and the required degree of dryness. Blue sector – for cotton, Green sector – for synthetics.
Turn the dial clockwise only.
Depress the dial to pop it out.
Cooling Phase
To allow the laundry to cool down, a cooling phase starts automatically 10 minutes before the end of drying and this phase must in no circumstances be reduced or interrupted.
Spin speed reduction button
By depressing this button the spin speed is reduced as follows:
– Cotton and linen from 1200rpm to 650rpm

Quick wash button
By depressing this button on programs A, B, C, D, and H the wash time is reduced. This is suitable only for garments that are lightly soiled.
Super Rinse button
By depressing this button on programs for cotton and linens the machine will perform an additional rinse. This is recommended for people who are allergic to detergents and in areas where the water is very soft.
Rinse Hold button
Press this button to make the machine stop with water in the drum after the last rinse. This prevents any creasing which may occur if the clothes are left damp in the drum. When it is convenient for you to empty the machine, simply press this button again so that the machine can proceed to drain and spin, or turn the dial to the drain program “R”. If this button is not activated, the washing programs will end with a spin. (This button is not compatible with the automatic washing and drying program.)
