¾These buttons need to be pressed after a wash
program has been selected, but before the wash
program has been started.
Spin reduction You can reduce the spin speed
from the one automatically selected by the machine for the wash
program.
Extra rinse The machine will add an additional rinse
to the wash program that you have selected.
Easy ironing Once the last spin has completed, the
drum will move for several minutes. This should help to reduce
creasing in the garments being washed.
Rapid wash The length of the wash cycle will be
shortened by approximately 30%. The machine achieves this by
reducing the number of rinse cycles by one.
