Freshcare+
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 Freshcare+ option is associated with drying cycles, it prevents
stubborn creases from stabilising on garments, thanks to slow drum
rotations.
The FreshCare+ cycle starts at the end of the wash or drying cycle and
continues for maximum 6 hours; it can be interrupted at any time by
pressing any button on the control panel, or by turning the knob. Wait
roughly 5 minutes before opening the door.

Temperature

temperature, press the “ ” button. The value will appear on the display.
Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,
press the “ ” button. The value will appear on the display.
Setting the drying cycle
The rst time the button “ ” is pressed, the machine will automatically
select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected
wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then the
drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”).
Drying may be set as follows:
A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Cupboard : suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard
without being ironed.
Hanger : ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Iron : suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
B - Based on a set time period: between 210 and 30 minutes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the
maximum stated load (see adjacent table of wash cycles), perform the
wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into
groups and put some of them back in the drum.
At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle.
Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load. Note: a cooling-down
period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
