INTENSIVE RINSE

Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for 

sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra +1” level, 

which makes it possible to select an additional rinse after the 

standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press 

the button again for the “Extra +2” level, which makes it 

possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle 

rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. When the 

button is pressed for the third time, the “Extra +3” level is set, 

thus allowing the selection of 3  rinses in addition to the 

standard cycle’s rinses. The option - started with cycles at a 

temperature of 40°C - makes it possible to remove major 

allergens such as pollen, cat and dog hair. With cycles at a 

temperature higher than 40° a very good level of antiallergic 

protection is achieved. Press the button again to go back to 

PROGRAMMES

OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

Follow the directions indicated in the garment wash 

symbols.

FR

 

If associated with wash cycles, this option increases their 

performances by generating steam to block proliferation 

of the main sources of unpleasant odours inside the 

appliance (exclusively for the wash). After the steam phase, 

the machine runs a delicate cycle with slow drum 

rotations. When the FR option is associated with 

drying cycles, it prevents stubborn creases from stabilising 

on garments, thanks to slow drum rotations.

The Fr cycle starts at the end of the wash or 

drying cycle and continues for maximum 6 hours; it can be 

OPTIONS selectable directly by pressing the relative 

button

If the selected option is not compatible with the 

programme set, an error warning tone sounds and the
