[. . . ] This option treats with care the fibres of garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them. The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy. You are advised to also use this function for children's clothing and for delicate fabrics in general, or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the Delicates and Woollens/Handwash programs. "DELAY START" BUTTON This button allows you to preprogramme the wash cycle to delay the start of the cycle for up to 24 hours. To delay the start use the following procedure: Set the required programme. Press the button once to activate it (h00 appears on the display) and then press it again to set a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay increases by 1 hour each time the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, at which point pressing the button again will reset the delay start to zero. Confirm by pressing the "START/PAUSE" button (the light on the display starts to flash). Pressing the spin button will reduce the speed by 100 rpm each time the button is pressed. 5) WASH CYCLE TIME When a programme is selected the display automatically shows the maximum cycle duration for a full load, which can vary, depending on the options selected. Once the programme has started you will be kept informed constantly of the time remaining to the end of the wash. 6)Kg DETECTOR Indicator Available on Cotton and Synthetic cycles, during the first 4 minutes of the cycle the intelligent sensor will weigh the laundry and adjust the cycle time, water and electricity consumption accordingly. Selecting a greater degree of soiling using the special button will cause the corresponding indicator to light up. Please read these notes * Maximum load capacity of dry clothes, according to the model used (see rating plate). When washing heavily soiled laundry it is recommended the load is reduced to 3/4 kg maximum. Programme tested in accordance with CENELEC EN 60456 with the maximum Degree of Soiling selected and a temperature of 60°C. The spin speed may also be reduced, to match any guidelines suggested on the fabric label, or for very delicate fabrics cancel the spin completely this option is available with a spin speed button. Pressing the wash temperature button makes it possible to wash at any temperature below the maximum allowed. 1) For the programmes shown you can adjust the duration and intensity of the wash using the degree of soiling button. [. . . ] It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articles in towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water and become too heavy. When the START button is pressed the machine sets the working sequence in motion. The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends. Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.
