Final spin speed
You can reduce the final spin speed.
However, you cannot select a final spin
speed higher than that shown in the
chart above.

between the rinses. A reduction in the
final spin speed will also reduce the
interim spin speed.
To omit the final spin (Rinse hold)
^Select the Rinse hold setting using
the Spin speed button. The laundry
will not be spun and will remain
suspended in the final rinse water.

can select a spin speed lower than
this. Start the final spin by pressing

drain away. Press the Door button
again to open the door.
To omit rinse and interim spin and
the final spin (No .)

Spin speed button.
The laundry is not spun after the final
rinse. The water will drain away and the
machine will go straight into the
anti-crease stage.
With some programmes an additional
rinse is introduced if this setting is
selected.
