•You can select from your washing machine’s various functions
with the MODE KEY. Each time you press it, the symbol of a
function will show on the display.
•You can select a function you want to use in a washing cycle
by using the SELECT KEY when the symbol of the function
you’d like to use shows on the display (from when you’d

FUNCTION BUTTONS
Rinse Hold
9This function is recommended for use when you can’t take your
clothes out of your washing machine immediately after the
program has finished. This function prevents wrinkles from
forming. Pressing this button will keep the last rinsing water
from draining. To reactivate the program so the cycle can
complete, repress the same button.
Extra Rinse
9You can have one more rinsing done in addition to the rinses
used in whatever washing program your machine is running.
Soak
9Using this function will ensure better cleaning by leaving your
clothes in water with detergent for a certain period of time
before your machine starts washing. You should use this
function for very dirty clothes.
Easy Ironing
9By using this function, you can ensure your clothes come out
less wrinkled after the washing program has finished.
Plus Water
9By using this function, you let your washing machine use
more water than it would usually do. This will reduce the
friction that normally occurs between your clothes. You
should use this function for delicate clothes and for any
clothes that you want rinsed really well.
Stain Remove
9You can ensure a more intensive wash with this function. You
should only use this for very dirty or stained laundry.

will appear on the display.
•If you want to cancel the temperature, press on the SELECT
key until the ‘COLD’ signal is shown on the display. When the
‘COLD’ signal appears, the symbol will show on the
display, like this:
•If you have skipped the temperature level that you wanted,
you can get back to it by pressing the SELECT key repeatedly.
•If you have selected a different temperature from the
maximum temperature, the symbol will remain displayed
until the program completes.
Please note: The temperature levels you can wash with are
shown on Table-2 (page 20). If you do not adjust the temperature
at all, the washing process will automatically run at the maximum
