Super Wash This option offers a high-performance wash due to the greater quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle, and due to the increased wash cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains. If you desire 1 bleaching, insert the extra tray compartment (3) into 2 compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure). To bleach laundry without carrying out a full wash cycle, pour the bleach into the extra compartment 3, select the "Rinse" cycle and activate the "Super Wash" option . To end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button. For the Silk wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the “Easy Iron” indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button. Note: If you also want to run the drying cycle, this option is enabled only if combined with level “Iron”. If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be reduced by 30%-50%, depending on the selected cycle, thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Time Saver By selecting this option, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washer-dryer drum will rotate slowly; the “Easy Iron” and START/PAUSE Easy Iron By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal residual detergent removal is guaranteed. We recommend this option is used with a full load of washing, or when a large amount of detergent is required.
